Nice wee outing with the family (5 adults) and two dogs. Loved that it was dog friendly as we were able to wander round with them while still enjoying the exhibits. Parents who are a bit older liked the displays and the spitfire talk. Run completely by volunteers and definitely worth supporting this local museum.

We absolutely love coming here and make sure we visit everytime we are in the area. Its wonderful to see all the ongoing improvements, we are hoping that bumblebee will get a refresh soon, as shes our favourite. A great place to visit for all ages. You learn something new on every visit. The volunteers do a marvellous job

We came to visit as part of a few days visiting family in the area. I was very impressed at the friendly and helpful volunteers who were there in large numbers. We listened to Peter's talk on finding the Spitfire which was very interesting. There are a lot of different displays - some of which would ideally have some additional information/context. More could also be made of the cafe if there was money available to do so. Well done, you are keeping this history alive for future generations and that is important work.

Visited for the first time today and was well impressed about everything I saw and the wonderful volunteers who keep the place going - every single one of them. Great exhibits and information is displayed clearly. Brilliant and informative talk on the Loch Doon Spitfire. Excellent exhibits in the Flying Control tower. The Café ladies did a splendid job supplying refreshments with a cheery smile, accompanied by period music. I could go on for ages. I shall certainly be paying another visit to this absolutely fabulous museum.

Hi I was greeted by a volunteer who was so knowledgeable. As Ex Army we discussed many aspects of the Museum and it's history. The highlight was the talk about the Mk2 Spitfire, what a great historical story, it's quite amazing what the volunteers have achieved. This is must visit when you come to Dumfries there is so much to see

What a great aviation and history museum run entirely by volunteers all of whom are friendly, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable.lots to see including the wonderful aircraft, smaller exhibits and a tremendous collection within the three floors control tower. The Loch Doon Spitfire is a major highlight and the short talk on the aircraft is absolutely not be missed. We had a wonderful visit, thank you to all volunteers, especially, Gavin who was painting the Lighting, for his time and knowledge on the Lighting and Meteor. Truly recommend this place and I’m already looking forward to a return visit .

What a great few hours we had here. We went as a family of 3 adults and 2 children. Staff were very friendly and made the adults and children welcome. Some hands on activities as well as lots to look at. Lots of interesting information for both adults and kids. The gift shop is also very reasonable prices. The on-site cafe looked good but we didn’t use it. Our 13 year was talking about his day all the way back to our caravan. Definitely worth a visit.

Hidden gem but well worth a visit. Staff were all amazing and so friendly, lots to look at and talks on the Spitfire that was retrieved from lock Doon. Very interesting. Must try the tea shop before leaving.

Cracking little museum that is a bit of a diamond in the rough. Some really interesting displays of various aircraft and some war time displays. My 8 year old had great fun playing inside one of the aircraft. There's so much to learn here, I feel like it's one for people who are into aviation. If you are wanting lots of interactive displays with all the bells and whistles you'll be disappointed but if you go with the knowledge that it's volunteer run and has some great history you'll really enjoy it. A must do for me is the talk about the spitfire found in Loch Doon. So interesting and actually made me quite emotional thinking of the history of the aircraft and the men that flew it. Its so clear the staff are passionate about the museum. I hope it can grow in the future. I also must say it was very reasonably priced and the tea room made a lovely cuppa.

We loved our visit to the Aviation Museum. It was showery weather but there were lots of displays under cover to dodge the showers. Friendly, knowledgeable volunteers who run the museum. Spitfire talk was very interesting and it was a lovely well kept exhibit. It was also great to be able to bring the dogs with us too so one of us didn’t have to miss out. Blue Light discount was an unexpected bonus. Thank you for an informative visit.
