WHAT OUR VISITORS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE MUSEUM
Posted on Tripadvisor Daren BVerified 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.Posted on Tripadvisor Jonesy21Verified 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.Posted on Tripadvisor SolmeisterVerified 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.Posted on Tripadvisor Sonia WVerified A great few hours at a great museum full of exciting aircraft We came on the way to holiday and it was perfect. A lovely tea room, tours of aircraft and a great view of Norwich Airport. A great few hours and we would love to come againPosted on Tripadvisor Travelcelt_10Verified 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.Posted on Tripadvisor Jack AbreyVerified 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 ☕️Posted on Tripadvisor j0andphilipVerified Worth a visit Worth a visit even if you are not really interested in aviation. Cafe, museum planes outside to see.Posted on Tripadvisor Explore663408Verified Small but fascinating air museum close to Norwich A fascinating museum with a wide selection of items on exhibit. Fabulous tours of the Nimrod and Vulcan with knowledgeable guides. Would highly recommend if spending a few days in Norwich.Posted on Tripadvisor Dawn BVerified Good place for a quick stop Great to look round kids never seen a plane up close so we’re really fascinated by everything. Good place to spend a couple of hours and easy to get aroundPosted on Tripadvisor deringerlowry68Verified Worth a visit if you love aviation If you're interested in planes and the history of recent wars, there's something of interest for you here. For £10 you can learn all about the bravery of aircrew in WW2, watch films/ documentaries and look at the planes outside. For £3.50 we went inside the Vulcan, learning so much about it from a very knowledgeable man. You could easily spend many hours there, have some refreshments and even see Spitfires taking off from the airport opposite. Great shop for souvenirs and models too.
