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“ :-).
