Wow, just Wow !... Stumbled on the place while looking for something to do after a night away in London with my children.
Outstanding facility with dozens of planes from all through history! A wonderful experience for my young family with loads for the kids to do and see. I would highly recommend it!
Absolutely brilliant. Free entry, so much to do and see. The museum was awesome. We took some children on a day out here and they haven’t stopped talking about it.
