Access Family Program: Airplanes vs. Helicopters (Children)

Access Family Programs (Children ages 5-17)

The Intrepid Museum offers programs for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families on select Sundays during regular Museum hours. Families take a guided, interactive tour of the Museum and can participate in activities that everyone can enjoy.

Innovating new aircraft designs requires a deep understanding of the past with a look toward the future. Explore the Intrepid Museum’s aircraft collection to hone your observation skills, and compare airplanes while learning what’s new in aviation design.

Check-in begins at 10:30am. Please arrive before 11:00am in order to participate in the full program.

Looking for a program for older visitors? A similar program will be offered again from 2:00 to 4:00pm for teens and adults with developmental disabilities and their families. Register for the teen and adult program here.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

Please visit our Visitor Information page for directions. There is no parking available at the Museum.

Do you offer virtual Access Family Programs?
