## About

A free family day at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly about how people find their way — to school, across the country, through the sky and even to other planets. Families try hands-on navigation and mapmaking activities, talk with experts, learn how pilots navigate through the atmosphere, explore the technologies that guide travelers on Earth, and see how scientists map the Moon and Mars, all among the center's aircraft and spacecraft. Admission is free; parking costs $15 per car.
