IMAX® Naval Aviation Memorial Theatre
The IMAX® Naval Aviation Memorial Theatre is one of the largest IMAX® theatres in the world and has the largest screen in Florida. It took nearly two years to construct the theatre. The screen is 10 times larger than a traditional cinema screen, and fills the whole field of peripheral vision. Learn more about our IMAX® experience!

The Motion-Based Simulator is a five-minute, multi-sensory experience that combines a movie-like audiovisual presentation using a high-definition projection screen and surround-sound, with the motion of the ride compartment. The fully enclosed simulator capsule, which accommodates up to 15 passengers, can move in six directions, allowing you to experience horizontal rolls, longitudinal pitches and vertical climbs.
Cockpit Trainers Exhibit
Discover the interior of some of your favorite aircraft by visiting the Cockpit Trainers Exhibit on the Second Deck of the South Wing. Climb inside these cockpits, move the control stick, flip switches, and pretend that you are actually flying! The playing of radio transmissions heard by actual aviators approaching an aircraft carrier add to the experience. Other cockpit trainers are available throughout the Museum, many near their represented aircraft. Cockpits featured in Hangar Bay One include the A-6 Intruder, F-8 Crusador, F-14 Tomcat, and the unique AV-8 Harrier. There is no charge to access the Cockpit Trainers Exhibit.
