Fantastic - and not just for Aviation buffs

Can’t quite understand why this isn’t much better known. It’s a fantastic, well presented museum. It’s really 4 museums- we spent two hours there and could’ve spent longer.

A Museum you really have to visit.

Without doubt the most incredible, interesting and unexpected trip to a museum we have experienced.

Blown away

The interactive space was wonderful. I was blown away by how engaging all the aspects were especially for small children…this is not just for adults.
