Does your little one's excitement soar every time an airplane passes by? If you haven't visited already, the Aircraft Viewing Area at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport is an ABSOLUTE must-see! It is perfect for any type of weather and it is a super relaxing activity for all involved. Take a quiet drive down a winding road, past tons of cool parked planes, through dark tunnels (which little ones think are super cool), and you will find a very special place where joy and delight certainly take flight.
Pack a picnic, bring a special treat, or just sit back and enjoy the show as tons of airplanes take off and land right before your eyes. There are picnic tables and benches to enjoy. Otherwise, many people choose to sit in or on their cars, opening their tailgates, or enjoying themselves from inside.
A trip to the MSP Viewing Area really does feel like a little spark of magic, especially viewing it through your little one's eyes.
