Where Possibilities Take Flight

Children are natural scientists; they thrive in hands-on exploration. Experiential learning opportunities at Albert Whitted Airport provide children with hands-on experiences that foster wonder, curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Seeing a child take their first flight; helping an astronaut build a simulated comet; or using an infrared telescope are regular occurrences at Albert Whitted Airport; and these are just the kind of activities that ignite their passion for discovery and helps them gain the confidence to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and aviation.

Hundreds of children from Tampa Bay and beyond visit Albert Whitted Airport each year to experience aeronautics; develop a love of science and flight; and discover exciting new opportunities.
