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.
We dropped in here on a wet morning while holidaying in the area for a few days. My wife and I and two kids 7 and 4 really enjoyed the... read more experience. 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.
What a surprise we had in store at Atlantic Air Adventures. I’d booked an hour on the flight simulator for my dad who is afraid of flying and who at... read more nearly 80 is unlikely to take to skies himself. I shared this information in advance when I booked online and the team couldn’t have made him feel more special. He flew the 737-800 with Harry at the helm who was brilliant with Dad and allowed him the experience of a lifetime & certainly one he has been talking about constantly since we did it. Taking off from Shannon to Singapore and landing in New York with a sneaky flyover the Statue of Liberty was amazing. Jane and team are brilliant, we enjoyed our time so much. They offer a range of options, we did an hour’s flight which was €150 but they offer lots of other options. The building may not look much from the outside but if you’re into planes this experience is unmissable!!!!
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.
I got my boyfriend a voucher for a go on the 737 simulator for his birthday.
After booking online, I got a very promt, professional and friendly email from... read more Jane at Atlantic AirVenture, which set the tone for the service we got at every stage. I have no knowledge of aviation or engineering but I found our visit really interesting and enjoyable. We got a friendly welcome, were invited to have a cup of tea if we wanted, etc, but we were also left alone to wander around and see the planes and different artefacts at our own pace. There was room in the simulator for me to sit in as well which was great. The pilot who went into the sim with us did a great job of assessing my boyfriend's skill level and interests and tailoring his experience. The place really has the feel of being run by enthusiasts who are happy to share their interest with visitors. It is really worth a visit even if you don't have the time or money for a go on the simulator.
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.
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.
I got this for my boyfriend as he loves airplanes. I though it'd be fun for me too but I didn't expect it to be as good as it was!... read more
We got to compete against each-other on the flight simulator. Then my boyfriend did the 737 take-off and landing which was actually amazing; it was the cockpit of a real 737 and he got to use the same controls a real pilot would use. The experience was very realistic.
Then they demonstrated the inflation of a life vest and we got to keep it afterwards!
There's also a museum with some retired airplanes from several different countries, some are former war planes.
Most of all, the people running it were just brilliant. They were so knowledgeable (they're all volunteers - it's a not for profit organisation). One is a pilot, the other a former member of the US Air Force. They really took their time explaining everything and you could feel the love they have for all things aviation.
A really fantastic and enjoyable day out.
