Flight Fantasy
Build – Design – Fly
Anything is possible in the world of Flight Fantasy, which sets the stage for imagination-based play. Row a flying machine, pedal a propeller bike that powers a track carrying ‘flying’ collection toys like Astronaut Barbie and the Millennium Falcon, or play hopscotch on clouds! In Flight Fitness, flying machines inspired by centuries of experimentation and imagination offer opportunities for creating movement using your body’s own energy. Adults and kids can step into a giant hamster wheel to make colorful lights flash. Families can also create their own flying machines and measure how far they fly. With physical science as a focal point throughout, children can experiment with balance, speed, and coordination to create the sensation of gliding, hovering, and spinning.
