Tram Tours have been suspended until further notice.
Tram Tour tickets are an additional $6 per person and require paid (or member) admission to the museum (children age 4 & under receive free admission but are required to have a paid ticket for the Tram Tour). Tram Tours depart from outside the northernmost western door of the Main Hangar/Flight Central (near Flight Grill restaurant). This tour requires physically stepping up (2 to 4 steps) onto the tram. We do offer an accessible tram so if preferred, please request one when purchasing your tickets (we need at least a 30-minute notice to bring the alternate vehicle in from remote storage). Please notify us in advance via email or call 520 574-0462.
All special and regular Tram Tours and tour times are subject to change/cancellation due to weather/mechanical/personnel/late arrivals or other conditions beyond PASM control.
**A child under 2 years of age is considered a “lap child” and does not require an Tram Tour ticket (limit 1 per paying adult).
