TOUR
Located on the Gulf Coast, Corpus Christi is the perfect place for groups to experience coastal beauty and rich military history. Step aboard a floating museum and explore interactive World War II exhibits as you learn about the USS Lexington’s role as the longest-serving aircraft carrier of its class. Walk the decks of this legendary ship, see vintage aircraft up close, and experience the flight simulator for a hands-on adventure. Groups can enjoy guided tours or explore at their own pace. Don a helmet and goggles and continue your journey into aviation history with Vintage Air Tours, where your group can take to the skies in a historic WWII-era plane. Get a bird’s-eye view of Corpus Christi Bay as you soar in a beautifully restored 1943 PT-17 Stearman or a 1947 North American U-18 Navion.

The center also features interactive exhibits with exotic birds and reptiles.
