Up an’ At ‘Em History Have-a-Go Activities

Are you brave enough to embark on a mission that will test your speed, brain, and teamwork skills?
 
Back by popular demand we have teamed up again with Up and At ‘Em History for another thrilling challenge! Costumed re-enactors will guide young aviators through a series of four different activities that will test their determination, ingenuity and ability to work in a team.

 

Test your skills in:

Navigation – can you successfully read the compass points to plot your route back home?
Morse Code – can you crack the code to decipher the instructions being sent to you by your base commander?
Aircraft Parts – can you find the correct pieces to make sure that your aircraft has the necessary working parts to get back home safely?
Bouncing Bombs – can you successfully destroy the objects in your flight path to finally return safely back to base?

Successfully complete all four and each young aviator will receive their wings!
