LOST CHILD KIOSK
Let us help you find your little one

Parents & Guardians - Don't Fret! The Air Show is a big place, but we're here to help.
Safety Step 1: Grab a wristband for each child at any of the three main flight line entrance points and be sure to add your phone number on the band. This will help us locate you!
Military & Family Readiness has an RV set up near the STEM & Kid Zone to keep your kids safe. If you find a lost child or you've lost track of yours, please come find our staff at the RV and we'll do our best to help you sort it out!
NOTE: We will also have a nursing and changing station. We will also have a lost & found for any items misplaced during the Air Show. Please check here if you've lost something other than a child, too!

KID ZONE
Let's have some Air Show fun!
Come play on the flight line! So, you've seen the static displays, you've gotten your snacks from the concession stands, and you've walked what feels like 500 miles. Before you walk 500 more, swing by the Kid Zone and let the littles work off some extra energy!
We've got turbo tubs, ladder climb, an inflatable slide, temporary tattoos, fun party hair, and a Lego station! We'll be open throughout the Air Show, so plan to take a break with us!
Come find us at the North end of the flight line near the STEM hangar and the Lost Child Trailer!

STATIC DISPLAYS
The sky will be buzzing with activity as our military and civilian air acts show off their piloting prowess, but the flight line will also be filled with some impressive aircraft from the Air Force, Army, and civilians. Take a tour and check them out on Sept 24 & 25!
