A fine museum featuring British combat aircraft through different wars and conflicts. They have recently renovated large sections of the museum, adding more interactive elements to get kids involved. A good collection of aircraft with the highlights being the WW2 section. There are several cafes dotted around the site that are “reasonably” priced. Entry is free but they suggest a £5 donation. Parking is around £3 for three hours.

Amazing museum if you're interested in RAF history! They have a huge collection of planes on display, all the way from WW1 to today. The displays are very informative, and there are plenty of activities for kids too! You can easily spend a day (perhaps two?) there. Getting there is also really easy, as there are signs all the way from the underground stop. The walk is about 10 mins. Best of all: entrance is free! (Though donations are of course appreciated)

They recently given this place a big overhaul. I was very impressed with all the exhibits and all the cool interactive stuff for children to do. Food options seemed good. Plus there were lots of picnic spots. Entrance is free, although they suggest a donation.....either way it's a very good deal! There is a nice new outdoor playground for kids.

My daughter works there so it has to be 5 star. Anyway the exhibition is far larger than when I last visited about 25 years ago. I particularly liked the first world war hangar, the modern stuff less so. It is not especially easy to get to, it is free to visit which is good. The cafeteria is only adequate.

A very informative museum with quite a lot to read or listen to. It's child orientated with plenty of integrated ideas to try and an outside play area. The airplanes are wonderfully restored with many engines and other vintage vehicles on show. You can take some amazing photos. There is quite a lot of walking to do from hangar to hangar (5 in all). You can take a rest in one of the cafes under the wing of a flying boat.
