It's been a while since I last visited the museum during one of the gaps in the covid pandemic. They've done a lot of work and it's looking so much better. You can book online. Your ticket allows you multiple visits a year. More in keeping with expectations. The NAAFI cafe is very good. Decent coffee to go with a slice of cake or a full meal. It was busy on the 29th of December. The presentation of exhibits has also improved. The hangers and buildings looking good. Mostly done by volunteers. Nice one.

This museum is a little gem. We have been before but this was particularly special visit. We were a mixed generational group (young adults, 50 somethings and 80 somethings!) and we were there to celebrate my father's 84 birthday. There was a talk on by one of the volunteer guides (they are all so knowledgeable and keen to share their passion) about the RAF in the Falklands War which was thoroughly enjoyed by us all. We then had lunch and cake (we had phoned ahead and a cake had been very kindly arranged by the café team) - it was low key in the best way and perfect. We all loved it.

This museum is packed with intersting aircraft and exhibits. The staff are very helpful and keen to share their knowledge with visitors. The exhibitions are spread around several WW2 buildings, an original Air Traffic Control tower, and two hangars. The main hangar contains an interesting mix of aircraft, centered around one of only two Halifax bombers left in the world. I mentioned that my father piloted one, and the guide couldn't have been more helpful in explaining the aircraft. He even took ius to another building where we found a picture of 77 Sqn with my father in it. It's well worth a visit.

We have visited a few times now, especially as our eldest son is a plane fanatic. He loves being able to explore inside the Dakota. The museum is really interesting and historically so important. There's such a sense of peace here too. We visited in half term and ate in the cafe. Staff were amazing given how busy it was and the food was delicious. Really friendly staff & volunteers across the site who clearly love what they do. Thanks to all!

We were staying in York in our motorhome and looked for places to visit. This place came up on a list of things to do. We were not disappointed, there's lots to see. Well laid out exhibits, with lots for children to pick up on. The Cafe on site is very well run, with great food and drinks on offer at very sensible prices. We spent about 4 hours looking round, and could have spent longer. A nice touch is that if you can Gift Aid, your tickets let you re-visit as often as you want in the year.

Another fabulous day! Thank you Derek Earp for your patience, humour and incredible knowledge when taking my dad around the Halifax bomber. He had an amazing afternoon. The cafe was great as always giving service with a smile and tasty food. Allowing dogs in the cafe now very welcome! We’ll be back again for sure!

We have visited multiple times with our two young boys. It’s a great place to visit and has lots to entertain vehicle obsessed children. We last visited on the Emergency Services Day, this was fabulous. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again.

This has been on my list to visit - we went last weekend. An interesting collection of aircraft, both outside and in hangars. A lot of other exhibits to see. The NAAFI restaurant was serving hot and cold food and the service was friendly and efficient! Your ticket is valid for a year, so we didn't look at everything, we plan to go back again!

Visited for the first time today with my 2 boys, had a fantastic time. Lovely helpful staff, lots to see, the Halifax gave me chills thinking about what it (and the crews) had been through. Looking forward to seeing the control tower! Well definitely be back.

Very well put together and an interesting insight into local and wider military aviation. A former airbase with lots of stories to tell. Some good displays and a bargain for the price, as you can return numerous times. Nice tea room - good cake - full of old characters. I shall return.
