A very nice museum with a good selection of various aircraft and helicopter types on display. Also several buildings with both local and general aviation related displays. The shop stocks a great selection of models and merchandise . Refreshments are also available , in all a very nice day out for all age groups.

This is one of those like museums that on first arrival doesn't look especially big but it actually has enough exhibits that it takes several hours to see it all properly. You enter through the gift shop where I got a very friendly welcome from the person behind the counter. As you enter into the museum itself, there are several smaller aircraft in front of the main hanger. When you enter this hanger, it's an absolute aladdin's cave of all sorts of aviation exhibits and information. Whilst there is a lot there, it is well laid out and it's easy to get photos if that's something which interests you. There are some smaller rooms divided off inside the hanger itself including one with a couple of simulators and one with engines. This alone would be a great museum but there's a lot more. Out the front are more aircraft, some being restored, some already restored and others awaiting work. But still there's more. Out of the other side of the hanger there are many cockpit sections including the largest collection of Canberra Cockpit sections possibly anywhere! There's also a Vulcan Cockpit Section looking spectacular in it's own shelter at about the height it would be if it were still an intact aircraft. There's also a crashed Nimrod section. Amazingly that's still not all, there are two further buildings with all sorts of exhibits and displays including more aircraft and information about wartime in the area. The Uk is very lucky to have many excellent volunteer run aviation museums. This is another that definitely deserves your visit. I intend to return in the not too distant future despite it not being at all local, probably to attend one of their open cockpit days when you can see inside many of the aircraft.

The museum had an excellent selection of aircraft for the size. I was especially impressed with the Avro vulcan cockpit that has been painstakingly repaired by the members of the museum. One of the tour guides was kind enough to walk us through the function and history of the vulcan, accompanied by an ex RAF engineer who provided unrivalled detail into every component.

So much crammed into a pretty large space. Every turn and angle there is something new to see. Lots of hands on stuff, want to step into a cockpit or work out how the controls of a helicopter effect the rotor blades? Very well documented, you will learn something new.

Me & a fellow resident of a local care home (both wheelchair users) +2 carers recently visited the Aircraft Museum - not knowing what to expect. We all found it very interesting & informative. So many different out-buildings to explore & normal wheelchair accessible. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED & Good Value for Money. Gift Shop well stocked with Memento's of visit. TO Tracy who manned the shop & cafe thanks for your help.

An incredible museum which is far bigger than it looks from the outside. We spent a morning here but could have spent much longer! Unlike other museums there was so much to do for younger visitors, the 2 and 4 year olds in our party loved climbing in the cockpits, exploring the air raid shelters, watching the model railway and dressing up! Plus a huge amount of detailed information which my plane enthusiast Father enjoyed. Overall a wonderful visit, amazing value for money and would highly recommend. Staff were so friendly and knowledgeable.

This place is incredible. We went there as a family to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday and had a brilliant day, Our two young grandsons had the time of their lives. There is so much to do and see, and unlike other air museums we have been to, you can get in many of the planes and touch the controls. There is a model railway, dressing up clothes and so many planes as well as displays of equipment and uniforms from war time. I think we could have stayed here for a week and still not seen it all! Plus it is so reasonably priced. If you are anywhere near Doncaster it is so worth a visit. I can't recommend it enough! Thank you to all the volunteers that give their time keep this great place going.

On arrival to Doncaster in the pouring rain we stumbled across this museum and thought it would be a way to pass a couple of hours whilst the weather was bad. So glad we visited on the recommendation of the glowing reviews on here. The museum is much bigger than we expected and has some really interesting wartime exhibits. There's lots of different types of aircraft to see, both inside and outside, and even for non-experts/enthusiasts you can't help but be impressed by the size of some of the planes and helicopters. We enjoyed our visit more than we anticipated and the lady at reception gave us a lovely welcome. Many thanks!

Found this place by chance. The gentleman who served us was very friendly and helpful. We found it very interesting. Was a bit like entering a tardis as so much in one area. Love been able to sit in some of the cockpits. My son thoroughly enjoyed himself.Was nice to see somewhere providing free feminine hygiene products in the toilets.

This is a fantastic ‘hidden gem’ for aviation enthusiasts and others. The museum is entirely volunteer run and I was amazed by what these volunteers have achieved. Based on a part of the former Doncaster Airport the museum has a varied collection of complete airframes both indoors and outside, along with a vast collection of displays, artefacts, models and information. There were a small number of cockpits that you were free to sit in, and I discovered that, from time to time, the museum holds ‘Open Cockpit Days’ when the majority of cockpits are accessible. There seemed to be an unending series of rooms each covering some aspect of aviation from the earliest days to the present, with excellent information and displays. We kept discovering rooms we’d missed. There’s also a small aviation shop with a good selection of models and a basic café. I visited as part of a family reunion and Alan at the museum, could not have been more helpful in supporting our event both with arrangements before we visited and during the day. From eldest to youngest everyone in our group found lots to do and see. We had fairly good weather and whilst some of the aircraft are outside, there’s lots to see even if the weather turns sour. It’s run by volunteers and their passion for what they’re doing clearly shows.
