Farewell A member of staff was very rude and snipy and has put us off from coming back. It is a shame as we had been coming for years and also bought alot from the shop and food area. It was the worst experience with my sons who both have Autism since we first started going there years ago. Anyway end of an era goodbye norwich aviation museum

A Great Place For Looking at Aircraft Close Up What a great museum for a whole day visit. Many displays inside the building as well as all the aircraft outside. Just a shame about the 'jobs-worth' who shouted at us before we'd even entered the site but we didn't let it spoil our day and she probably couldn't help it.

Good Price was very good for what you see. But was annoyed as when we was looking at the planes we seen signs that said “must have tickets for tours inside, buy in reception” if we was told this when we arrived we would of bought them but ran out of time as we never founded out till the end of our stay. Definitely takes 3-4 hours to see everything.

Vulcantastic Great museum if you have an interest in aviation, we spent at least 2 1/2 hours looking around even the kids enjoyed it and they don't like planes, but it was dads choice this time . The only downside and this was us not checking is they don't allow dogs so we had to have one person sitting outside with the dog. Great staff and well priced. Will come back again but without the dog.

Go visit and support this fantastic museum My son and I stopped off here last minute on our way home from the Coast, passed it several times on the NDR so thought we would see what it was all about. Neither of us are aviation enthusiasts but we still both really enjoyed the visit, its not all WW2 memorabilia but displays on past commercial planes that flew from Norwich which was really interesting. We made an extra donation for a tour of the inside of two planes with Mark which was really fascinating, my Son who is 15 really enjoyed it. Little tea rooms as well and we stayed for around 2 hours. Well worth a visit whether you are a big plane fan or not.

A place to visit on a cool day! We chose the museum as Trip Advisor stated it had very effective aircon but what we failed to realise was that the aircraft tours had been cancelled due to the hot weather! The museum is geared towards real aircraft enthusiasts and some interactive displays for younger visitors would have good.

Cold War on a hot day This is a lot better than the view of aircraft tail-ends from the NDR suggests. The main museum building with a cafe is a good space to start off. I booked a tour of the Nimrod and the Vulcan for about £3.70 each. Nimrod took 45 mins and the Vulcan 30 mins. Really fabulous and knowledgeable insights from the guides. The Vulcan is in much better condition than I expected and is undergoing a refurbishment. Highly recommended.

Flying high at CNAM! ✈️ Brilliant trip out to CNAM - the volunteers are super friendly and there was a lot more in the collection than we thought. Give the friendship tea room a visit while you’re here for a super tasty brew ☕️
