We were welcomed at the reception counter and made feel very welcome. Eddie the owner gave us a guided tour of the museum, he was very informative and interesting and you could listen to his stories for ages. He recalled his own career as a Senior Aviation Engineer in the RAF.
Our guys got the opportunity to put on real junior aviation suits and we had plenty of time for photos.
Great place for anyone with and interest in the Aviation industry.
Thanks for sharing with us.
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.

My two boys gave me a voucher for a flight simulator experience for my birthday. I had to ring up for a booking date and time. So here I was... read more in the centre, greeted at the door and brought into a room upstairs to get briefed about the aircraft they use for the simulation. A Boeing 737-800NG. I was shown a large sheet on a wall showing me the controls and dashboard and overhead elec. panels of the 737. Very important as I am now going to go into the aircraft downstairs. My first tutor accompanies me and I'm introduced to my flight instructor for my time in the Boeing.
This simulator is a cut down 737 as far as the front galley area with a large screen in front of the nose. It is exactly what a 737NG should be in the cockpit area.
I was given further info about the instruments and what the flight was going to be that day. My time in the Sim was to be 1 hour so a quick learning curve. I did a take off from Shannon runway 24, climbed and then we did go arounds and several landings with different parameters ending in a very low cloud landing with decisions to land based on what I could see of the runway, made by me with sweaty palms. I found the whole experience fascinating and pretty exact from what I know about flying. This simulator is as near to an airline one as you can get but it cant compare to a multimillion dollar/euro professional one so you cant get the full professional feel with correct noise, movement and landing jolting etc. For the cost of my day in it, thanks to my boys, I thought it was well worth it, if only for the entertainment value and the education given to me which was invaluable. My instructor was brilliant.
After I finished my wife and I went for a walk around the center as there were loads of exhibits like engines and aircraft. We stayed around enjoying the whole centre in the company of a guy called Sean who was fascinating to listen to as he had been working in aviation in Shannon. He was very educational and entertaining and we learned a lot about aircraft and airports. Time went on and we ended up being there for nearly 3 hours just looking around and talking and hanging out with the staff. They're are all good fun and in the end my wife and I had a great time in Atlantic Airventure. We had now to return home to Dublin but I had memories of that special day, for me and also my wife in Shannon Town near EINN.
Celebrated our son’s 15th birthday here and it exceeded our expectations. Plenty of information generously given by the pilot and hands on flying experience made for a great day. Highly... read more recommended.
To engage and enthral 6 'hard to please' ten year olds for a full 2 hours is no mean feat, yet the crew at Atlantic Airventure managed it with aplomb.... read more The ease of booking, the super-friendly telephone conversations and the helpful suggestions about bringing the cake and organising take-away food made it the easiest party ever to organise. The boys and girls were equally interested and totally excited by the simulator experiences, the lifejacket demonstration and the viewing of the planes. To cap it all, they even took photos for me and emailed them on afterwards. Cannot praise the team highly enough. We will be back.
