Flight Day was a soaring success!

This weekend, Discovery World was filled with birds, squirrels, butterflies, rockets, drones, paper airplanes, and plenty of curious minds. From live animal presentations and hands-on STEM activities to our Paper Airplane Contest, there was wonder around every corner.

Thank you to our amazing partners and everyone who joined us to explore the science of flight. Your curiosity helped make the day truly extraordinary.
