Someone recommend the Hiller Aviation Museum (San Carlos, CA). "There are a few of airplane models in the exhibit for kids to sit in and manuver; the real boeing 7X7 in the back of the museum is good for kids hopping up and down; the play area has wooden kiddie airplanes for kids to play around, as well as papers and crayons for kids to draw."
