Leesburg Airport Open House

There’s a fab­u­lous free event com­ing up in Leesburg on August 29^th: the Airport Open House!

Leesburg Airport Open House
1001 Sycolin Rd SE (map it)
Leesburg, VA 20175
August 29^th,  10 AM — 4 PM
Free admis­sion and parking

We pre­viewed the event last year and my four year old and his friend had a blast walk­ing around right next to parked planes, explor­ing a res­cue heli­copter, and watch­ing another heli­copter take off. The event is free, but there were snacks and drinks for sale, so be pre­pared to spend a few bucks if you stay all day.

The open house coin­cides with a visit from the tour­ing restored WWII B17 bomber named The Fortress which you can ride for a rea­son­able fee.

Prepare your chil­dren for some loud noises as there will be air crafts tak­ing off and land­ing dur­ing the open house, and remem­ber that the bulk of the attrac­tions are out­side, so keep weather con­di­tions in mind. Last year we were hot and very glad to have our sun­hats and water bot­tles with us.

Have fun!
