美国空军博物馆印象
-
This museum has a wonderful collection of aircraft but is far more than just a place for 'plane buffs'. It was fascinating and the volunteers were knowledgeable and told us some entertaining stories. There is an interesting display on wartime prisoners-of-war, which we found very informative. A café is onsite but we didn't have to time to use it.

What an amazing place to visit stopped here on our way to the airport for the morning. Went on the extended tour to see the planes being refurbished brilliant. Could have spent a whole day there much to short visit would recommend to anyone. The tour guide was absolutely brilliant so informative.

Our family of five all enjoyed the museum, we took the guided tour and were very pleased we did, you learn so much more. A great place to visit and the café was well stocked and there was something for everyone. 10 out of 10.

We only had a spare hour but needed way more time. This museum must be the best kept secret in the whole of Christchurch! First of all it's free so after spending a month travelling NZ it was nice to not have our hands in our pocket for a change.The collections are well maintained, numbered and easy to read. Stories of bravery and sacrifice of ordinary men were very informative and then there are the planes themselves!!! Beautiful machines with room for more. The staff were all very helpful and enjoy their work. It was a pleasure to visit, so don't miss out.

Plenty of adventures for children, and extremely interesting exhibits for their parents. Recommend setting aside a whole morning or afternoon.

You can find there details about the participation of Kiwis in both wars and equipment, aircrafts and cars used at that time. There are also stories about war prisioners.

Actually my 2nd visit here and I wasn't intending to stop in, but found myself in the vicinity so came in for a coffee (quite good, I might add), and having a bit of time to kill decided to have another browse.On my previous trip I was fortunate enough to have a very low-key tour of the behind-the-scenes workings of the museum, this time was more of a scoot about to take some pics.Now although it might not be the biggest collection of aircraft I've seen, I have to re-iterate that everything in here is very kiwi-orientated and an emphasis has been put on installing quality displays with a lot of relevant information.Sure, I've seen and been able to clamber in and over some exotic craft in other parts of the world, but in reality are they museums or small-scale graveyards for people with good intentions but without the resources or wherewithal to carry out the desired task? Discussion for another time.It's a very clean and easy to navigate environ, mountains of information in various media, with a very historical and proud mien.Visiting on a non-descript Monday morning there was a range of people from a school-group and parents with kids to one or two old blokes, so good to see it populated but still more than enough room to poke about without feeling harried.Give yourself an hour or more to have a browse; it's not only aircraft so will appeal to most with an interest in militaria, plus good parking and access make it worthwhile trying to make sense out of Christchurch''s roads to get here.

This is truly amazing and well worth a visit. Situated on part of the old Wigram Airforce Base it has a cafe, workshop and wonderful display of WW1, WW2 and later models. It really is very impressive. Restoration continues on many planes awaiting the caring attention of the engineers. Unfortunately following the Christchurch Earthquakes the complex is used for conferences and other activities which can rather take over the complex at times. It maybe a good idea to check before you visit.

My wife and I took a guided tour with four or five others and had a really great time. The guide knew exactly what he was on about, and kept us moving along though the exhibits (aircraft, engines, refurbs) and workshops, all of which was very interesting.All displays are well signed and explained and there's always something to learn in a place like that. I take pride in knowing my history and could not fault them at all - excellent all round and highly recommended. I even found a Biggles book in the shop!
