What visitors say
Came here today and both my toddlers loved it! It’s a lovely little place with a small café, and they even had some activities for the kids, which was a nice touch. My little boy was absolutely obsessed with the jets and planes. We spent ages watching them flying in and out, and he loved every minute of it. The staff were all so lovely and friendly too. It made for such a nice little day out, and it’s free to visit as they rely on donations.toddler get to sit in the smaller aircraft’s too so my son just spent most of his time in one 🥰

I had known of this museum for many years and finally got to visit it, and I wasn't disappointed. Housed in a smart, relatively small modern building, the museum is like a Tardis as there is so much to see once inside. Very well laid out and with plenty of information on the items on display, there is lots to take in and I will be making a return visit or two to soak it all up. The staff, who are all volunteers, were extremely helpful and welcoming and the cafe, though small, has enough on offer to cater for light bites with indoor and outdoor seating. As promoted by the museum it is free to visit and relies upon donations to survive so I feel well worth a small consideration for all the hard work that has been put into this collection. Highly recommended.
