Ever wanted to fly through the air with the greatest of ease? Now is your chance! Friday Night Flights has been expanded to weekly due to high demand! This highly discounted class (20$ off 👀) aims to make flying trapeze more accessible. This class is for flyers at every level of ability and experience—whether you’ve never tried flying trapeze before, or you’re working on taking tricks out of lines. Beginning students will learn how to take off from the platform, perform fundamental trapeze tricks, and begin working on the ‘swing’—the bread and butter of flying trapeze. More experienced flyers will continue to work on fundamentals and on advancing their trick vocabulary. In the last half hour of class, flyers who are ready will be able to take their tricks across to a catcher (one of their coaches) swinging from a second trapeze. Age 7 and up.

Free with museum admission, Kids, teens, and Members free. Reservations required for family tours.  

Inspired by the Illustrators of Light exhibition, kids and families can explore how Norman Rockwell and other artists captured attention and sold ideas through illustration.
