This place is a hidden gem! We had a brilliant time walking around the different aircrafts and listening to the guide’s talk. It was a real treat! When the guide asked at the end, what was your favourite part the response se was all of it (and this was not a cop-out answer) - truly it was great! Definitely well worth a visit.

Want here today 2nd April with my two kids 10 & 7. Ray was our guide with a trainee volunteer guide too. What knowledge & personal stories to be told which you would never get to know at a at a larger museum. Got too sit in a jet, take all the photos we liked and see everything that they had. Seen the workshop along with the hanger. Ray was So knowledgeable, detailed and a gentleman. The trainee volunteer guide ( whom I forgot the name sorry ) was brilliant aswell asking if we wanted photos etc. Amazing place that you have just got too visit if your in Northern Ireland & keep these stories and places alive for future generations. Will be back next time we're over.

Fantastic, simply amazing and how it has grown since I was there last is staggering considering it's a volunteer run enterprise. It's so good I am going to join after sending this review, I have honestly never seen better even in some of the airfields in England.... please go and leave some money to help the work, It is SO deserving of help, and Mike who gave our tour was fab....his experience flying was also a story in itself!! Many thanks Mike, GARY LECKEY

Thoroughly enjoyable tour organised by friends while visiting N.I. If you are interested in History or Aviation this is a treat not to be missed. Our tour guide Mike was exceptional and showed us all he could in the allotted time giving excellent background information on the exhibits and the society. The exhibits themselves are all fascinating and the layouts and models in the adjoining old canteen are brilliantly laid out. The work in progress was impressive. Cannot thank Mike, Ray and the Team enough, keep up the good work. Hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful time at the Ulster Aviation Society. Our guide Jane was fantastic. Enthusiastic and had so much knowledge about the aircraft. Plenty of time to look around all areas even after the tour had ended. We were made to feel very welcome. We had 2 teenage boys with us and they thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a great place to go own your own, as a couple and as family. So much history in the hangers and great that it is being preserved. Would highly recommend.

Incredible experience! One of the hidden gems of N Ireland. A real tribute to aviation and those who fought in WW2 from Ulster, Southern Ireland and wider afield. The exhibits here rival any museum in the British Isles. Spent 4 hours being shown round by Ray who has a wonderful in depth knowledge of all the exhibits, their history and links to N Ireland. Thank you Ray for taking the time and sharing your knowledge and passion with us.

A phenomenal collection of aircraft and aviation history. Having visited many aviation museums across the UK, I was delighted to finally arrange to come to the Ulster Aviation society. The hangers are filled with aircraft in fantastic condition, and exhibit spaces full of information. Our guide was superb, a mine of information. I will definitely be coming back in the summer to take more time as i could have spent the whole day there. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in aviation.

Definitely recommend this tour! Ricci our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable. He made the subject interesting, even to those in the group without a real interest in the subject matter. Wonderful interactive exhibits and guides who love what they’re doing! A hidden gem for sure!

Our family (my wife, 3 yr old, 6 yr old, and I) really enjoyed the tour. We have been to a few air museums, and this is one of the best, especially given the Ulster Aviation Society is a volunteer-run charity. It has to be one the most underate attraction in all of Northern Ireland. We will be returning again, and this will be a go-to place when visitors come from aboard. Lastly, there is a great balance of local, regional, island, and global history mixed into the awesome aircraft on display.

We visited during the Easter break and needed something that was cost-effective and would keep both our 11 year old and 4 year old sons interested, as part of my younger son's Birthday. Both my sons enjoyed this, as did my wife and I. Entry is free (which is great for families), and you can buy some gifts or donate what you want. It was a very lovely gesture at the end as the guide let my sons have a model plane each, and as my eldest is interested in History and War, was able to take a magazine and book also. Whilst admittedly, I don't have a huge interest in History or Aviation, even I found it interesting, and learnt a lot, the guide that took us around was particularly entertaining whilst also being informative. He was meant to talk for about 2 hours, and we got about a 3 hour tour in total, which was even better. Definitely worth a visit, but my only advice would be as it is based in 2 huge hangars and there is no heat, make sure to wrap up warm. There are also on-site toilets which is handy, if the kids need to pop to the toilet. All in all, a great visit was had and I'd thoroughly recommend you give it a go.
