Museum staff will read stories for children about famous aviators, hot-air balloon flights, trips to Mars, the night sky, and winged creatures that soar through the skies. Afterwards, visitors ages two through eight-years-old will take part in a hands-on activity.

Story time will take place at 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. at the back of the James S. McDonnell Space Hangar.

In the event of inclement weather, story time will be cancelled if either Fairfax County Public Schools or Fairfax County Government is closed.
