The Future of Flight Aviation Center and Boeing Tour is housed in a new 73,000 square-foot facility, which is located at Paine Field in Everett, Wash. The Center is designed so visitors can create their own jet, then take a print of it home, experience the next generation of in-flight entertainment systems, touch the high-tech "skin" of the Boeing Dreamliner, and learn how technology and aviation will be used in the future to connect people and cultures across the globe. The Future of Flight Aviation Center features a 28,000-square-foot aviation gallery, a 9,000-square-foot observation deck, a new tour center for the nearby manufacturing plant in which Boeing assembles its 747, 767 and 777 airplanes, meeting rooms, and a theater, restaurant, and gift shops. Since opening in 1968, the Boeing Tour Center has hosted more than two million visitors from around the globe. Annually more than 100,000 people take its factory tour. The Future of Flight expects that number to double to more than 200,000 visitors per year.
