Spent a very interesting couple of hours here on a wet morning. Our tour guide was informative and obviously interested in all things planes. In fact his enthusiasm rubbed off... read more on me. It had quite a good range of planes and other flight related items. A great place to go if you're any way interested in planes and great for a wet day.

  Went here last week with our four sons 8-17yrs on a family celebration. They all loved the activity, though the tutorial was a little technical for the younger 2,... read more it was necessary for them to realise that this was more than a sit in toy you would see in a shopping centre. They got great care and attention and our experience was made all the better from the wealth of knowledge from staff. They all enjoyed the experience and the museum, having left Shannon almost twenty years ago, it's nice to come back with my kids to share my memories of the planes growing up. Worth a visit.

  It's a great museum for all avation lovers at any age! The 737-800NG simulator is just like the real thing (except the hydraulic movement)! Great place to visit yourself or... read more with friend and family! Great fun!

  I had an hour booked in the simulator and was really looking fiat's to it. The briefing beforehand was fairly straightforward but there was so much to remember. It... read more didn't matter however as when i got to the simulator the pilot in charge was very clear in his instructions. I couldn't believe how realistic the simulator felt. It is a real 737 cockpit converted into a simulator. I started straight away into a take off and flew around before attempting a landing. It was so realistic that i was actually nervous. After the first landing i was given different scenarios culminating with an engine failure. I came out of the simulator mentally exhausted with the biggest grin. I can't reccommend this any more highly. If you ever wanted to try flying a commercial jet then this is the place to do it.
I couldn't recommend the experience any more highly

  It wa an over all good experience for me and my student I was with whom has autism but there one lady with glasses who works there was very abrupt... read more and rude to my young student. She wasn’t helpful and basically felt like we were unwelcome by her presence. Her sister showed us around the place and into some of the display planes was a great host and very friendly but her sister left a bad taste in my mouth unfort especially for kids with SEN

  It's lovely to visit somewhere where the people give the tour and demonstrations have so much passion for the subject. Our visit to the Air Atlantic Ventures was brilliant.... read more The kids got to dress up as pilots and aircraft personnel and we had almost an hour in the simulators. We then had a tour of the museum with many actual plane cockpits and memorabilia. Then a tour of the planes outside. There were seven of us from 8 to adult and all had fun.

  I went there on the 31 of August, i have to admit , the museum is small, but they have some very interesting planes and a lot of things to... read more see. I had the chance to have a very kindly Lady , to explain me the exposition. I have felt that, she is very passionnate and has an impressive knowledge. If you wanna see some grat planes and simulator , just go. We need museum like this one to keep this knowledge.

  We were on vacation in Ireland and as an aviation geek I never go on vacation without visiting a local aviation museum.
This one is much smaller than expected but... read more it's worth the visit for any aviation geek.
The interior section is well laid-out (although a bit too dark to me).
The few planes outside lack explanatory signs and I always find it painful to see a propeller aircraft amputated from its propeller.

My children aren't fluent in english to we didn't book any tour but they look great though.

  Visited on a Saturday morning with our three young boys whilst waiting for our flight home and what a fantastic little place. The people who work their are so passionate... read more about what they do was lovely to see. From the start they were great with the children letting them dress as pilots and our youngest a captain where they could then play in a plane. It is very small but we spent a few hours here and the children didn’t want to leave. We will be back when we return to Shannon.
