Sun 'n Fun is one of the most exciting events on the aviation calendar, and we want to make sure you have the best experience possible. Here are our top five tips for making the most out of your visit:
-
Plan Your Activities Sun 'n Fun is a massive event with so much to see and do. To make the most of your time, review the event schedule and come up with a plan of action. Identify the exhibits, airshows, and workshops you don't want to miss, and create a schedule to keep you on track. This way, you won't get distracted and can ensure you see everything you want to see. You can see the schedule using this link and also download the app.

Book Hotels Early Accommodation near the event can fill up quickly and become more expensive as the date approaches. To avoid last-minute stress and high prices, book your hotel well in advance. This will give you peace of mind and allow you to focus on enjoying the event.
-
Stay Hydrated and Comfortable Florida can get pretty hot, especially during the day. Make sure to bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, as you'll be doing a lot of walking, and by a lot of walking we mean a lot of walking. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun!
-
Bring a Backpack A backpack is essential for carrying anything you buy or are given at the event. It keeps your hands free and ensures you don't lose any of your new treasures. Plus, it's handy for storing snacks, water, and other essentials you'll need throughout the day. I carry with me a small foldable chair that I use to watch the air show. It’s a little weigh to carry but the alternative is sitting on the floor.
-
Engage with Exhibitors Sun 'n Fun is a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry professionals and learn more about aviation. Take the time to visit the exhibitor booths, ask questions, and engage in conversations. You never know what valuable insights or connections you might make.
Bonus Tip: Take advantage of the numerous workshops and seminars throughout the event. These sessions cover a wide range of topics from flight training to aircraft maintenance and are a great way to gain new knowledge and skills. Be sure to attend a few that interest you.

We hope these tips help you have an unforgettable experience at Sun 'n Fun. Whether you're an aspiring pilot, a seasoned aviator, or just someone who loves aviation, there's something for everyone at this amazing event.
