Well worth a visit

Spent over 2 hours in the company of the wonderfully informative Jane, She has a passion for aviation and is at ease passing on her knowledge. Any questions were answered and the time genuinely flew in her company. Lots of audio prompts throughout the exhibits. Lots of small aircraft and sections of larger commercial liners on display. Would genuinely recommend to anyone interested in aviation or history.

Brilliant wwe went with our two grandchildren. The flight simulator is fab. Adam was the guy who explained everything.

The flight simulator and the museum both brilliant. The flight assistant Adam was brilliant in explaining and helping.

Definitely visit here!!! 10/10!!!

Recommend the 737 experience! I visited today with my 3 kids aged 16, 11 and 3! All ages thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Huge thanks to Adam for the 737 experience with my son Lucas who is a nervous flyer! He's not anymore after today! He had so much fun and we all learned so much! Thanks to Jack for the discovery tour! Very informative! All staff were so nice. Special mention to Jane and sarah also. Thanks again. Highly recommend all to visit here! You won't be sorry!! I would have added more photos but didn't want to ruin it for everyone else. I have about 150 photos🤣

A nice museum with some irish plane-specialitys

It‘s a small museum with a variety of different kind of aged airplanes. We had a nice guided tour from a young fellow. He had a hard tour with some older flight „afficionados“ :-).
