Show Description

Have you ever dreamt you could fly?

Come and discover the history, mystery, and allure of flight when the Cernan Earth and Space Center presents Dream to Fly.

Guided by Leonardo da Vinci, the Montgolfier brothers, the Wright brothers and others, visitors will witness success and failure as these pioneers seek to overcome the immense challenges required to make their dreams a reality. Dream to Fly is a poetic story about the development of flight through the ages presented in an innovative way.

Dream to Fly highlights the most important milestones en route to humanity conquering the skies - from technological breakthroughs to our perceptions of flying itself from gliding among the clouds to reaching for the stars.

Produced by The Heavens of Copernicus Productions in Warsaw, Poland, Dream to Fly's rich fulldome visuals, beautiful music, and poetic narrative makes this an exceptional immersive experience.
