Join us at the Champaign Aviation Museum for a family-friendly and self-guided scavenger hunt to locate 10 key aircraft and artifacts that defined the American home front and war front experiences during World War II. Beginning in the Museum lobby, visitors can pick-up their aircraft map, scavenger hunt worksheet, and pen at the front desk before heading into the Museum for the hunt. Spanning three buildings that are wheelchair accessible, participants will find the required items with the provided visual clues and then write the item name on their worksheet. After finishing the scavenger hunt, participants can turn-in their completed worksheets at the lobby front desk to receive a free sticker, patch, or magnet! Volunteers will be on-site to answer any questions, and disposable earplugs will be available as a portion of the experience includes the B-17 “Champaign Lady” restoration area.

The Champaign Aviation Museum is a non-profit World War II aviation history museum located at historic Grimes Field Municipal Airport and home of the B-17 “Champaign Lady” restoration project. Visitors are invited to enter the restoration area and talk with volunteers as they work to restore this iconic aircraft to flying condition. Surrounded by exhibits and displays in honor of our veterans, the Museum features a collection of historic aircraft including an operational 1944 B-25 Mitchell.
