At Clearwater’s SimCenter, you’ll find cutting-edge technology in the form of incredible simulator programs that make it possible experience what it’s like operating otherwise out-of-reach vehicles like jetliners, race cars and fighter planes. The simulators are highly realistic; in fact, the Boing 737 simulator is like the ones used to train actual pilots and SimCenter even offers airline interview preparation programs. Some of the most popular simulators among visitors are the fighter jets and a 360-degree 3D space simulator that lets you pilot a virtual spacecraft form an orbital carrier and fly through the solar system. SimCenter also has kid-friendly activities, including an electric race car track.
