Ames Fly-In

  • Date: June 2027
  • Ames Municipal Airport
    2520 Airport Dr. Ames, IA 50010
  • 7:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Join us June 2027 from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Ames Municipal Airport for a high-energy, family-friendly morning of food, music, and amazing vehicles – all while supporting our community. Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Story County and the Ames Police Benefit Association (APBA).

Enjoy all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, and a drink with a $10 per person ticket, free admission for kids 5 and under, and $5 tickets for ages 6-12. Kids (and kids at heart!) will love seeing large transportation up close – including fire trucks, tow trucks, ambulances, and more – plus live entertainment. Want to take it to the sky? 15-minute airplane rides are available for $35 per person. Plane ride tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event. There will be no advance sales this year. Come hungry, bring the family, and kick off summer at the Ames Fly-In for a great cause!
