Overview

Located approximately 25 miles north of Seattle, The Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour is the only public tour of a commercial jet assembly plant in North America. Explore the interactive exhibits and displays in our 28,000-square-foot Aviation Center Gallery; then take a 90-minute tour of the Boeing plant where you can watch 747s, 777s, or 787 Dreamliners being assembled right before your eyes. There is a minimum height requirement of 4 feet (122 cm) for children participating in the Boeing Tour. To avoid disappointment please make sure to check height before purchasing tickets. This restriction is strictly enforced. ADA accessible tours are offered twice daily. Call in advance to ensure proper accommodations. In the Future of Flight Aviation Center Gallery, the Family Zone is home to a number of different activities, all designed around a theme of aircraft manufacturing and assembly. Activity carts let visitors build a simple aircraft model, or use our Lego (and Lego-compatible) pieces to express new ideas about aircraft design. A kid-sized airport and aircraft allow future pilots of all ages to practice their take-offs and landings. Currently, the Family Zone is also home to a highly engaging, hands-on nanotechnology exhibit, and a Bernoulli Table, an exciting interactive experience that teaches the relationship between the velocity of air and the pressure it exerts. Coloring and reading activities are also available, and drop-ins are welcome. Admission is free for ticket holders and for Institute of Flight members.

Boeing Tour

Interesting and well conducted tour. Super cool to see the 747 being manufactured. I didn't give it 5 stars because the title of the tour is 'Future of Flight', so we were expecting a little more of a look into the technology/design of supersonic/space flight.

Great tour even over the holidays even when no 'assembly' work was being done

We have three teenagers, and they really enjoyed the tour, as did my wife and I. You get to see one of the most famous manufacturers in the world up close, and you get a glimpse inside the biggest building in the world. We visited...More

Nice but

Seeing how a 747, or 777 is built is interesting, but the name of this tour is Future of Flight... There is no future discussion beyond the next model of the 777 or 787. There was nothing about Boeing's future in space flight, supersonic flight,...More

rying to determine if my 9 & 7 year old will enjoy this- need input! Both are 4 feet so no issues there but see it is 90 minutes. Is it standing the whole time? They definitely don't have issues with walking (we do Disney & other theme parks here in FL frequently :) but need a break to sit down every so often. My son LOVES airplanes & my daughter just enjoys learning about new things so think the area will interest them but would love to get perspective on those who have done the tour before. Thank you in advance!!

Do it!! You will get to sit for maybe 2-3 mins in between because you have to get on to the bus and go to another building. It’s not boring for kids at all!!
