The mission of the Cradle of Aviation Museum is twofold: to engage all ages in the exploration of our aerospace heritage by preserving and displaying Long Island’s contribution to air and space travel; and to inspire, motivate, and stimulate our youth to be the next generation of aerospace scientists and engineers. We achieve our mission through our growing exhibit collection and our ever expanding educational programs.

Join us Tuesday, October 19, 2021, at 7 pm for our fall Sky at a Glance event.
Meet our team in the parking lot at 7 pm and learn how to use a telescope to navigate the night sky. Make a star finder and utilize it as you observe our Garden City NY night sky to identify fall constellations.
During this event, participants will also learn about the James Webb Telescope with the Amateur Observers' Society of New York. Telescopes are available for viewing or bring your own!
