FLIGHT OF DREAMS is an aviation-themed commercial complex located adjacent to Chubu Centrair International Airport in Aichi Prefecture. The most significant feature is the indoor exhibition of the very first Boeing 787 Dreamliner (ZA001), donated by the Boeing Company. The facility consists of two main areas: 'FLIGHT PARK,' which focuses on aviation technology and aircraft displays, and 'Seattle Terrace,' a commercial area themed after the atmosphere of Seattle, USA.
The exhibited Boeing 787 Dreamliner (Registration: ZA001) completed its maiden flight on December 15, 2009. Approximately 35% of the Boeing 787's components were manufactured using technology from Japanese companies such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and SUBARU. These parts were transported to Seattle via the Boeing Dreamlifter. This technological connection between Japan and the United States is the reason this historic first aircraft was donated to Chubu Centrair International Airport, making this a site that symbolizes the deep cooperation between the two nations in the field of aerospace engineering.
The facility offers a wide variety of aviation-related exhibits. In the FLIGHT PARK area, you can see the actual Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a real cockpit, and even an engine display. These elements allow visitors to visually understand the structure and mechanics of an aircraft. Meanwhile, the Seattle Terrace area provides a space where you can feel the vibe of Seattle, the birthplace of Boeing. This area includes shops selling Boeing-related goods imported directly from Seattle and various dining options to enjoy while soaking in the atmosphere.
The facility is open year-round and starts operations at 10:00 AM. FLIGHT PARK closes at 17:00, while Seattle Terrace remains open until 18:30. During the daytime, the facility is popular among families and aviation enthusiasts. In the evening, the area around the dining section of Seattle Terrace offers a more relaxed atmosphere for dining and shopping. Since the exhibitions are indoors, you can enjoy viewing the aircraft closely regardless of the weather or season.
In the exhibition area, you can observe an authentic cockpit and real engine components. There is also a dedicated 'Kids Area' designed for children aged 0 to 12, providing a safe environment to play regardless of the weather. At Seattle Terrace, you can shop for exclusive Boeing-related items and aviation-themed goods at 'LUXURY FLIGHT.' It is a wonderful opportunity to experience both aviation knowledge and the culture of Seattle.
Since the facility is located within Chubu Centrair International Airport, you can easily combine your visit with other airport amenities, such as the observation decks, shops, and restaurants within the airport. Its excellent accessibility makes it a perfect stop before or after your flight.
