Questions parents ask
- How long should we allow for a visit?
- A typical visit takes around three hours, which gives you time to explore the aircraft collection, walk through the Comet fuselage, and visit the café without rushing. You can spend longer if you book the flight simulator experience or want to read all the informational boards in detail.
- Is there anywhere to eat?
- The Comet Café is on site and has been newly refurbished, so you can take a break during your visit. There's also an Aeroshop if you want to pick up aviation-inspired gifts.
- Which ages get the most out of it?
- The museum suits infants, juniors and teens, with a flight simulator experience that immerses you in a mosquito cockpit and hands-on activities like the Craft Table where younger children can make their own projects. The extensive collection of aircraft and historical exhibits appeals to different ages across aviation history.
- Does it work in bad weather?
- Much of the museum is indoors in hangars where you can see the aircraft collection and walk through the Comet fuselage, so wet weather won't stop your visit. However, the outdoor elements mean a rainy day affects what you can see outside.
