Spent a nice morning here. The exhibits were excellent and there was plenty of access to all of them. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful and they were all volunteers! All kinds of planes here from bi-planes to jets including the Halifax bomber which had been rebuilt from scratch. Well signposted and easy to find. A good trip... More

This place was fantastic so many things (not just the aircraft) to see and it wasn't really busy you could wander round in and out of the shelters without being distracted by others. My partner had a go of the gunnery simulator and it took me ages to get him out of the opened cockpit in one of the hangers... More

A fine selection of aircraft and 20 acres of parkland and gardens makes this an enjoyable day out. Easy to get to, in fact the number 36 bus takes you from the middle of York to the museum entrance, also plenty of car parking space available. More

Brilliant day out. Plenty of fantastic planes to see up close and personal. My personal favourite as a fan of Vulcan is the plane that refuelled the Vulcan on Black Buck mission to bomb Port Stanley runway in the Falklands in 82, the Victor. Lots of other exhibits to see and loads to read. Great place. More

My wife, 8 year old daughter and I visited this attraction today. It is a nice potter with lots of history and an abundance of old, and quite new, military aircraft. The must see is the Halifax bomber which really is a sight to behold. The downside of this attraction is there doesn't seem to be any staff/volunteers around for... More

This is not a kind of place i'd go out of my way to spend half a day but because it's my son's 9th birthday, he likes airplanes and visiting museums, any kind of museum, so i took him here and i'm very glad i did because i've learned vital and truly magnificent part of British history, acquired knowledge about...
