About Sustainable Skies
Join us for family activities across five days at the National Museum of Flight, as part of Edinburgh Science Festival.
As well as family-friendly fun, you'll also learn about the future challenges faced by flight and their solutions.
Sustainable Skies Tour
Times: 11:00 – 11:20 & 14:00 – 14:20, drop-in.

Shared Resources Challenge
Times: 11:00 – 13:00 & 14:00 – 16:00, sign up on the day.
Your party has crashed in the jungle. Working together, you must choose which equipment to take with you to escape the jungle. Will you do better as a group or on your own?

Take a picture of the trail quiz questions using your phone then find the answers as you explore the museum. When you’re finished, you can check your answers at the Boeing 707 in the Concorde Hangar.
