WHAT OUR VISITORS HAVE SAID ABOUT THE MUSEUM
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.Posted on Tripadvisor Edward JVerified A must visit First time visit to this museum, looks can be very deceiving there’s so much to see and the staff are on hand to give you different tours. Take your time to explore they have a café for lunch , you can explore the exhibitions outside and lots to see indoors. A small shop for souvenirs and model planes. I was very impressed.Posted on Tripadvisor D MVerified Fascinating and well worth the visit Was in the area for a festival and on the way home decided to visit. Great place to go if you are fascinated by engineering, flying or history of the base men and women who fought in the first and Second World War. Entrance fee is great value for money. Also had the (£3:50) tour of the Vulcan bomber which was equally fascinating and worth every penny. What a privilege to get close and personal to an icon aircraft of our time and understand how frightening it would have been to enclosed in such a small cockpit. Credit also has to go to those enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers who run the museum - well done.Posted on Tripadvisor DasBahnstormerVerified Thank you for a wonderful day! We had a wonderful day at the city of Norwich Aviation Museum, which our aircraft mad 11 year old particularly enjoyed!! It was a rare opportunity to get up close to and sit inside jets from the Cold War. My son is still talking about sitting in the Lightning, the Vulcan and the Jaguar as well as the tours of the Nimrod and BA146. Please keep up the great work and see you all next time! Great gift shop too!
