The world's first ever Boeing 787 is now the centrepiece of a children's playground and museum. Flight of Dreams is a small theme park originally designed by digital art creators, Teamlabs centred on the first ever Boeing 787 prototype ZA-001. It has now become a combined mini museum and children's playground houses within Chubu international airport in Nagoya, Japan.
The Flight park is split into two sections. The first is a small exhibition where people can get up close to the cockpit and engine of the airplane as well as details about mechanisms inside the airplane. The second is a children's playground set up around the aircraft with a small toddler area, climbing area and peddle bike circuit.
There is also a paid area with a net trampoline set up 6 metres above the ground. Surrounding the flight park is the Seattle Terrace with American shops and restaurants named after Seattle where the Boeing company is based. The flight park has now become a perfect space for aviation enthusiasts and families looking to keep their kids busy while waiting for their flights.
