I always like to view the upper museum buildings before going down to the flying field. Despite signs in the parking field, you would be surprised how many people forget to take a peek.

There are some more conventional restrooms up inside the large museum building past the parking lot. Always a good idea to have the little ones visit them just before the show starts not to miss any part of it. Down on the field, its strictly pota-a pottys.

Wooden planks on cinder blocks have been the choice of seating at ORA as long as I've been going but feel free to bring a cushion or a couple of lawn or soccer chairs. Years ago they used to sell cushions in the gift shop.

The snack bar has good food and snacks at an reasonable price or if you venture north or south on Route 9 you can find anything from ice cream to fine dining. if you prefer, you can pack a lunch (or hit a local deli) and bring in a cooler.

The best place to see the show for me has been always north of the announcers tower. Plenty of room to run around if she desires. The top benches are usually shaded but as the show progresses the shade will move down a bit.

Yes, as Joe says, sunscreen and a hat is a must! Have a great time and start planning your next trip back. Let us know how she liked it!

Salute,
Steve
