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

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.
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
I visited the air show last weekend with my wife and two children. My son is obsessed with planes so we were looking forward to the visit enormously.
We... read more were charged €18.00 to enter which was reasonable enough we thought but as it turned out the correct entry fee would have been €16.00
even so it was reasonable emough we though until we got inside and there was a charge for almost everything.
a simple sum. it cost me 18 in, plus €7.00 for a cardboard plane that a really nice young lad helped my daughter assemble. if my son had wanted to do the same thing it would have been €14.00. (i noticed as we were leaving that this had dropped to €5.00 per plane which was annoying)
there was a play bus there that cost €2.00 per child per ten minutes and face painting was another 2.00 so 20 minutes which is short enough was €12.00 for the two of them and they wanted to sit in to a couple of planes to get pictures taken each of which was charging €3.00 per child so that was another 12.00.
the total spend after about an hour and a half was up to almost €50.00 and had my son wanted the plane it would have been well over fifty with food to come.
I was really angry on the day and felt totally exploited to be honest.
I did speak to staff members about it most of whom were nice though one young girl at the reception desk had a lot to say about most of the money spent being my choice to buy or not. Considering the children were too old for the little planes that were available free there was literally nothing there for them to do that didn`t cost money other than maybe sitting in the passenger plane.
Having said that my son really enjoyed his day and loved the different things on show I don`t know if anyone else complained but there was a hell of a lot of muttering aboutthe costs going on.
It was a nice day, there was a very decent crowd there but i just wonder if it was an opportunity lost for the place due to short sighted revenue gathering
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!
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.
four of us, all in our sixties, spent two hours here yesterday. We had booked the flight simulator for thirty minutes and we all had a great time. Two of... read more us were able to attempt a take off and landing from Dublin Airport. It was really realistic and we both came out in a sweat with the tension. Our instructor John, who is real commercial pilot, was excellent and guided us through our flying experience. It cost the four of us a total of 87 Euro which included a tour of the museum. We all considered it a great experience, and well worth the cost.
