Kindergartens & Preschools

The team at Classic Flyers are proud to present to all our Kindergartens and Preschools in the region our very own treasure trove of aviation history and heritage housed at Classic Flyers museum.

There are two visit options aimed at your groups like yours. One is the standard museum visit (Museum Fun Experience). The second is a museum visit combined with a demonstration of the Tauranga Airport Fire Engine (Museum & Airport Rescue Explorer). Both of these activities are a lot of fun and can be achieved in a morning visit to the museum. Click on the boxes below to download a brochure of each visit option.

Bring your young crew along for a fun morning exploring our themed adventure playground. They can fly around in our squadron of mini pedal planes then go for a ride around the airport in our 1940's vintage Fire Engine. Finish up by exploring our museum and getting inside some amazing aircraft. Colouring-in pictures are also available so the kids have something to take away at the end of the visit.
