Yay Days: National Aviation Day – Build, Race, and Explore!

Get ready to soar into history and hands-on fun this National Aviation Day!

Join us at House of Shine as we celebrate the wonder of flight and the spirit of exploration that aviation inspires. Participants will dive into the history of travel and aircraft through engaging activities, stories, and exploration.

Then, it's time to take creativity to the skies as we:

Build and decorate balsa wood planes

Race them for distance and style awards

Learn fun facts about aviation and the pioneers who made flight possible

Possibly hear from a special guest from DFW Airport about what it takes to keep the world flying

This Yay Day is perfect for kids (ages 6+) and families who love to create, learn, and explore. Whether you’re an aviation enthusiast or simply curious about how things fly, you’ll leave with new knowledge and a plane that’s ready for its next adventure.

Join us for a day of hands-on discovery, friendly competition, and sky-high fun as we celebrate National Aviation Day together!
