The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I wanted to talk to someone about donating some of my Dad's WWII memorabilia and was introduced to Heather. She went out of her way to talk to us answer all our questions. She made our trip from Arizona very special. What a great museum...very touching. My dad was a bombardier in the Bloody 100th bomb group & was also a POW for 18 months. He talked a lot about the war & the museum brought him back to life for me. Thank you for all you do.

A simply amazing museum with free entry. I would highly recommend a visit to this venue as it has a very important history lesson to share. The heroic sacrifice of the young men who served in the USAAF 100th Bomb Group of the Eighth Airforce is writ large within this superb museum. There is a lot to see and on the morning of our visit the volunteer guides provided a very useful explanation of many of the exhibits.

Great dog friendly museum and memorial to the 100th Bomb Group. Before our visit, I’d emailed to check if dog’s were able to visit the museum as we were holidaying at a cottage nearby with our dog and received an incredibly quick response. I was told that dogs were encouraged to bring their owners! We had a great time visiting the museum. All of the volunteers were incredibly friendly and so knowledgable about the airfield, the surrounding area, and the men stationed there. I was pleasantly surprised at how much there was to see and the wealth of information available to read. Being able to visit the tower was definitely the highlight of the visit. Looking out over the fields and imagining how it would’ve been in the 1940s was quite moving. The volunteers are doing a fantastic job of keeping the history of Thorpe Abbotts alive and I can’t believe it’s free to enter! I would’ve happily paid an entry fee and not been disappointed with our visit.

Having watched Masters of the Air we were surprised to find that the original base of the 100th was close to where we were staying and now a museum. We spent a very interesting and informative afternoon there, helped by the knowledgeable volunteers who told extra antidotes. Life on the base was really brought to life by reading the original accounts the airmen wrote of life there and their missions, tragically from which many never returned. Standing up on the lookout post one can imagine the suspense felt as they waited to see who of their colleagues made it safely back. Definitely worth a visit. Good facilities, parking and gift shop.

Absolutely wonderful museum, credit to all who played a part in reconstitution of this historic monument to the Greatest Generation. They greet you with a smile and so helpful, and thanks for tracing our hero and photo too ! . Stand on the tower and look East as they did to watch for them returning, you're walking in history, so emotional. Thanks to you all for a wonderful visit it made our day.

Absolutely worth the time to see this historical site. Obviously the profile has been raised due to the new series covering this group and deservedly so. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and really willing to share all they can with you so you get the best experience from your visit. There is lots to read and for me it will take more than one visit to appreciate all the exhibits fully. We spent around 2.5 hours there but you can easily spend more time. There are refreshments hot & cold available to purchase. Facilities are very clean.

We came across the museum after my husband watched Masters of the Air on Apple TV. Staying in Suffolk we wanted to have a look at the 'real' place behind the tv drama. This museum is so well cared for and has so much to offer. I found it quite emotional from the very start. The volunteers are amazing and know their stuff, willing to share stories, historical information and check that you are having a good visit. This is one NOT to be missed. Food on site - simple but lovely, toilets available and important to keep sharing the stories from this time.

Great day out, visiting 100th Bomb Memorial. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. Plenty to see, good cafe and gift shop onsite. Plenty of parking available. Worth visiting.

Visited today as a result of watching Masters of the Air and finding myself in the area. What a fantastic experience it was. The volunteers are so knowledgeable and passionate about the site and it's history. Make sure you allow time to read the stories and take in all of the information, some of which is really emotive. Nice little indoor cafe run by the volunteers and an outdoor grill run by the local pub. Well worth the visit. Thank you to all those people who take the time to run the site and allow us to visit.

Visited on a Wednesday morning with my wife, 9 year old, 11 year old, mother & father-in-law. This is a must for any fan of military history. Run by volunteers but run really well. We were greeted with a smile & really knowledgeable people. There are many displays & information about how the airfield was used during the war. You can go through & up the control tower. On your walk through the control tower theres wall to wall war memorabilia. There is a small canteen, shop & toilet with educational videos running. We spent 2 hours looking around & found it fascinating. There are not many signs directing you there & it’s only really open summer months on a Saturday, Sunday & Wednesday. Check online before visiting.
