What visitors say
A fantastic little museum that is well worth visiting. Despite its size, it has an impressive collection of aviation and military exhibits with plenty of interesting history about the Isle of Man. The displays are well presented, and the volunteers are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions. It's an enjoyable experience for both adults and children, especially if you have an interest in aircraft or military history. Admission is free, making it excellent value. Highly recommended if you're visiting Ronaldsway or the south of the island.

My 10 year old daughter has declared this “The Best Museum She Has Ever Been To!” & she’s been to a fair few. The highlight for us all (2 adults & 3 children was getting to go aboard & explore the restored Manx Airlines passenger plane. The staff are brilliant & my 16 year old son was in his element & found loads of interesting books to buy. We highly recommend a visit to this gem of a place. Free to visit (donations welcomed) & you are right by the runway for the airport & can watch planes land & take off at closer proximity than I think you’d find anywhere else! Very well priced gift shop& refreshments & lovely little memorial garden too. Well worth a visit if you are on The Isle Of Man.
