Reviews of Aerospace Bristol
"What a great place to go! It's huge and full of great historical items, stories and facts. So well maintained and reception staff very helpful. Children will love it, there's also a task book for children to complete and find tasks as they go around. The concord exhibit is just wow. So much history around it and the fact you can walk through the plane is great. I'd highly recommend the online cafe. Lovely hot food with plenty of choices, kids menu and snacks plus cream teas. It was raining when we visited but I think there was a small outdoor play area for little ones. Plenty of car parking to and there's also a retail park nearby"
"Excellent museum. Many interesting exhibits which will interest everyone and chance to get hands on experience with the numerous interactive displays . Lovely cafe and facilities. Adults and children of all ages will not only learn but enjoy the day. Of course the highlight is Concorde which is presented in pristine condition. You can view the flight deck and move down through the cabin and savour the luxury . Staff are friendly and helpful and clearly enjoy their work. We had a great time and you are able to have free admission for twelve months."
"Absolutely amazing! Book in advance £18 adult or £19.50 on the door. You can then return anytime free for a whole year! 3 Hangars in total, amazing food from the cafe. Hangar 2 just Concorde and you can actually get onboard it, fabulous 3 to 4 hours to cover everything. Tues/Weds/Thurs watch live restoration going on in Hangar 3."
"I'm no plane geek but I really enjoyed visiting. The information on display was really interesting and all exhibits set out chronologically. Interactive bits for kids to keep busy on too. The restoration hanger had enthusiasts working hard to restore a plane and the guides were so knowledgeable. We spent a good while in there listening to their stories, David in particular had such fascinating tales to tell. I could have spent hours with him. Top exhibit obviously is Concorde. Beautifully displayed and pristine. Actually felt quite emotional seeing it, such an iconic aircraft. Absolutely recommend anyone to visit this fabulous attraction."
"Really welcoming friendly knowledgeable staff, lots of hands on for the children. Great displays and detailed information, love the fact we can use our ticket over & over again for the next year. Lots of free parking. Really good cafe with choice of hot and cold food, and excellent service. The gift shop has a wide choice of gifts but is very expensive it needs more pocket money priced souvenirs for children. We will definitely be back"
