Reviews
"They definitely did not exclude the kids. Love this place to just visit and have a coffee or a bite to eat"
"Lovely museum and the staff are eager to give you the best experience they can. We were approached by a lovely gentleman who took us on a guided tour of some of the more private areas and gave us some lovely history of the technological developments, which my 12 year old especially enjoyed. Good food (although expensive) and a lovely play area with helicopters etc you can play in and around. Definitely worth the visit."
"Old classic aeroplane museum great fun for old and young There is a coffee shop to enjoy breakfast and coffee , on the day we visited they had a airshow on which was great to see the old planes"
"2 out of 4 kids were bored out of their brains. Other 2 were really enjoying the experience and my husband was REALLY enjoying it. It's awesome you get to climb into some of these old planes."
"Great, old school aviation museum Younger kids need careful supervision as there are things you can touch, and things you can't and it's hard for pre-readers to tell. There are also only soft barriers. Really nice Cafe on site"
