For an immersive exploration of aviation history and technological advancements, visit the Hill Aerospace Museum, located just north of Salt Lake City, Utah. Students can marvel at an impressive collection of military aircraft and aerospace artifacts while engaging with real-world examples of engineering, science, and history. School groups are welcome to explore the museum independently without an appointment, and teachers can enhance the experience with printable scavenger hunts available online.
For a more structured educational visit, groups can take advantage of the museum’s Reynolds Education Center, which offers S.T.E.A.M. and History courses aligned with Utah Grade SEEd standards. Current offerings include Crazy Chemistry, where students examine phase changes in matter; Forces of Flight, which explores the principles behind aircraft movement; and Heroes of Hill, which uncovers untold stories from World War II, Vietnam, and Hill Air Force Base. Schools interested in these programs can contact the museum’s Education Department to schedule an appointment.
