First impressions weren't great. It kind of looks like a scrapyard from the outside. However once inside it is an Aladdins cave of interesting exhibits. My son especially loved the interactive cockpits and the plane simulator. We'll be back.

Visited here today together with husband and grandsons aged 10 & 12. I was impressed from the start as you could buy a family ticket for £18, bargain. Next, the amount of displays and memorabilia are excellent and the boys were able to sit in numerous cockpits which they thoroughly enjoyed. A room with a plane and a helicopter simulator in was real fun. Later we were able to buy a drink and cake, sit inside and recap, ready to carry on and see even more exhibits. It’s an excellent place to visit, I’m sure we will be back again.

Came here having read recent reviews and it more than exceeded our expectations, we came with our children and our 3 year old daughter loved it. There are many cockpits for the children to sit in and engage with and there are picnic benches around the place to sit and eat. I can’t comment on the cafe as we brought our own picnic but all the facilities were clean and tidy and the whole exhibits were well sign posted. all in all an enjoyable afternoon. My only gripe is the grassed area at the front would be best utilised for a children’s play area!

Within a relatively small area, compared to other aircraft museums, there is a great selection of helicopters, aircraft and exhibits which should appeal to all ages. The war related ones, especially the tribute to the four women from the WAAF who joined the Special Operations Executive, were particularly informative and moving. The woman on reception was very pleasant and friendly.

A fantastic museum, and well worth the trip up. Lots to see, some unique airframes, and some aircraft you would have seen before, but with interesting stories. Each aircraft (or part of) is accompanied by boards with a wealth of information, and areas are laid out to tell the history of early flight in the area, wartime activity, civil flying and a very well put together Falklands War section which is worth a good chunk of your time. Anyone with a particular interest in helicopters is very well served, with the museum being home to many different types and the Yorkshire Helicopter Preservation Group collection. While being less full of airframes than the other buildings, the Building 21 display is fascinating and is somewhere I could have spent a lot longer than I did on this trip if I had more time. Alongside the assembled aircraft is a brilliant array of engines, components, information, and more aircraft related paraphernalia than you could shake a stick at. I‘ve made a bit of a personal mission to visit a lot of aircraft museums this summer, but this one stood out as the one that put the biggest smile on my face as I walked around it. You can feel the passion and interest put into the whole site by the volunteers and exhibit owners, I’ll definitely be back next time I’m passing Doncaster.
