About this activity
Explore aircraft, military vehicles and transport heritage across the museum site. There is a small fenced play area for younger children, toilets near the entrance and disabled parking. Most outdoor paths are grass, concrete or gravel, and wheelchairs cannot access the aircraft interiors. The current visitor page lists daily opening from 10:00 to 16:00, but another public listing gives different weekly hours, so check before travelling. Last admission is one hour before closing.
