Following a successful outdoor-only opening on Memorial Day Weekend, the New England "Open" Air Museum is poised to reopen all indoor and outdoor exhibit spaces beginning Friday June 19.
While the museum's indoor spaces will be open, the wide-open exhibit hangar doors will make everyone feel as though they are still outdoors in the fresh air. With 90,000 square feet of aircraft hangars and wide-open hangar doors, there really is no better place to go for safe, socially distanced fun.
The great thing about this museum is that everyone can have a great experience, see incredible aircraft, learn and have fun all without the need to touch anything. The outdoor space will remain open with 10 aircraft, and visitors can see another 50 aircraft indoors, plus dozens of engines and exhibits on various aspects of aviation history.
The entire museum has been cleaned and sanitized since the last visitors left back in March. The shortened hours of 10:00 - 3:00 daily will leave the staff extra time for cleaning at the beginning and end of each day. To ensure the health and safety of the museum's visitors, staff, and volunteers, the New England Air Museum will follow all COVID-19 rules issued by the Governor Ned Lamont and the Reopen Connecticut panel.
