Went they today, as have pass it very often but never popped in. Interesting place many aircraft to climb inside and explore. Could do with a cafe, they do have a drinks machine and selection of sandwiches. Would go back, staff are very knowledgeable and interesting to talk too.
Always a little sad because the exhibits are in poor condition but still quite interesting for an hour or so. All seems a bit amateur and run on a shoestring. The trident exhibit is the centre piece but pity you can no longer go into the cockpit due to vandalism
I took my 10 year old son to visit this museum. The staff were welcoming and there were plenty of places to park. The museum is small but does have interesting displays and you can go onto a number of the planes. On board one my son was able to have a go at flying on a flight simulator. However, having paid for us both to get in we had seen everything within an hour and were soon on our way. It is not cheap when you consider how long you may stay!
Visited as a family outing from toddlers to Grandparents. We all enjoyed the time spent (c 2 hrs) browsing the exhibits, our toddler loved climbing on board the planes/cockpit.Very family friendly, lots of young children whilst we where there too.My father is interested in aviation and this has been a must see visit for a while and he thoroughly enjoyed the exhibits and personal accounts.This is a small museum focused on the exhibits, good shop but limited cafe facilities (recommend bring a picnic).
A nice collection of aircraft, helpful and informative staff. Nice to be able to get 'up close and personal' with some real historical stuff.
Wonderful little museum for any aviation fan , very hands on with many aircraft open to view inside . The oldie worldie feel to the place only serves to accentuate the great history of the DeHavilland aircraft company . An absolute must visit if you are in the area and interested in aviation . No expensive restaurant , or tacky souvenirs , just a small tea shop with snacks , and a small but relevant gift shop . Totally run by volunteers who really do care about preserving the aircraft and the history .
We enjoyed our visit here. Bags of history with lots to do and see for both adults and kiddies alike.
Well, it is very small museum, with only 2 or three Mosquitos plus a few other aeroplanes, which unfortunately some of them were locked during my visit. I managed to see all exponents, take pictures of them and talk to staff in well less than 1 1/2 hour. Staff is very friendly, the whole place is tidy and pleasant, also there is a coffee machine, sitting area and a small shop where they sell aviation books and models. One huge benefit of visiting these small museums is that you can ''feel and touch'' the stuff as for example I was allowed to hold some rusty old shrapnel from WW2 :-) I mean you cannot do things like this in Duxford. Whole experience was great and I give it 4 stars.
Visited with our 6 year old Grandson who was very interested in all the planes, especially the one where the top rolls back. Staff were very helpful and knowledgable. There are ab tremendous amount of planes and memorabilia on show and my husband said if he had been on his own he could have spent many hours there.
Lots of men and women were enjoying looking and being allowed to sit in some of the exhibits. No where to get a meal there.
