SUN ‘n FUN Offers a New Pathway to the Future in Aviation
The FUTURE ‘n FLIGHT PLAZA will be the SUN ‘n FUN headquarters for aspiring aviators of all ages!

We also added a Family Oasis for families and the International Oasis for our friends from all over the world. You won’t miss this new area just north of the Main Entrance.

Family Oasis & Kids Club

Family Oasis is located in the heart of our Future ‘n Flight Plaza. It is an “oasis” designed for families with young children– a place to escape the heat and regroup. Families will find refreshing amenities such as comfort stations, nursing areas, crafts, picnic tables, and air conditioning. Admission is included with your daily ticket!
Note: Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian inside the Family Oasis.
Enjoy the SUN ‘n FUN nightlife while your kid(s) are engaged in a fun-filled night of their own! Drop off your child(ren) for a night full of exciting activities, crafts, and dinner with certified sitters from Carilly. Each night’s theme will match the activities happening at the show, so you and your child(ren) can share your experiences.
