Cradle-Con: A Comic, Collectible and Pop Culture Con

The All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Club Returns!

The Cereal Club at Cradle-Con – Retro toons. Classic games. Infinite cereal.

Remember when the biggest decision of your weekend was which cereal to eat while watching cartoons? Relive the magic at The Cereal Club, a Cradle-Con exclusive add-on featuring retro cartoons on loop, classic Nintendo gameplay (Super Mario 1–3), and an all-you-can-eat cereal bar packed with sugary favorites.

For just $15, you’ll get unlimited cereal, a commemorative bowl (while supplies last), and access to Hangar 2’s ultimate nostalgia zone—then go meet special guests behind some of your favorite animated characters in our guest and artist alley!

Because growing up is optional.

Cradle-Con is Long Island’s non-profit, comic, collectible, and pop culture convention, built by fans, for fans.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum is proud to present an event that is a pure celebration of all things comic book culture. It is an opportunity for COMIC READERS to meet and greet local comic book creators, for COLLECTORS on the hunt for rare books and toys to shop with some of the best vendors, for COSPLAYERS to gather and celebrate their favorite fandoms, and for RETRO GAMERS to get their game on! This spectacular yet intimate experience allows fans of all ages to gather, socialize, and share their passion for what they love. And it's a beautiful day out for FAMILIES with lots of activities for kids.

This is...Cradle-Con.

Proceeds benefit the museum's Preservation and Education Programs.

Please note: Library passes are not valid for Cradle-Con weekend.

Catch last year's 2025 Cradle Con commercial, and mark your calendars for Cradle Con 2026, returning May 16–17, 2026.
