For all the would-be pilots out there and all those "Top Gun" fans, the Flightdeck Flight Simulation Center is for you. Here, you can pretend you're taking off, dogfighting, and completing death-defying aerial maneuvers in fighter jet and Boeing 737 flight simulators that make it feel real.
And in case you were wondering, recent visitors said it's nothing like a computer game. Reviewers said the graphics and sound in the simulator made them feel as if they were actually flying. You also have the option to change into a flight suit, which past travelers said only enhanced the experience. Visitors also praised the staff and instructors for their clear and informative presentation. The minimum age to participate is 11, so if your tweens or teens grow tired of Disneyland, consider making a stop here.
You'll find it less than 5 miles southeast of central Anaheim. Keep in mind that you'll need to make reservations at least a week in advance. If you're planning to visit with a large group, you should book even earlier. The center is open Wednesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Prices vary depending on which simulator and duration you choose. A 40-minute "flight" in the fighter jet simulator (a 90-minute experience) costs $59 per person. Flights in the Boeing 737 simulator range from $89 to $259.
