IWM Duxford

Great family day out though is expensive entry and everything you buy onsite is expensive food etc. I can put up with though as its a museum and they keep these vintage aircraft airworthy. There is tons to do and see here. There is a decent park for children to play on.

Not too busy when we went, and prices are reasonable given you can spend all day and explore.Great that it's still a live airfield, so you can stand and watch general goings on, and the occasional aerobatic display.Only (minor) let down is the food areas aren't brilliant, and choice is a bit limited.

Visited recently having last visited as a child and I was worried it wouldn't live up to my memories, but it definitely did! A fantastic collection of exhibits laid out with lots of great informational content. And if you go on a busy day you'll see all kinds of interesting aircraft flying overhead. Highly recommend

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to fly into Duxford, as it provided me with a unique experience. Upon landing, I walked straight off the runway and into the museum, which immediately immersed me in the atmosphere.Accompanying me on this visit was a disabled passenger, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the museum offers complimentary onsite wheelchairs. This thoughtful provision made the entire experience more accessible and convenient for my companion.We spent a significant amount of time exploring the various hangars, each filled with captivating exhibits and historical artifacts. The sheer magnitude of the collection was awe-inspiring, allowing us to delve deep into aviation history.After our museum tour, we decided to take a break and enjoy a delightful homemade meal. We found a comfortable spot on one of the many benches or tables conveniently located outside, which offered a picturesque view of the active runway. As we dined, we had the privilege of witnessing numerous visiting aircraft and even witnessed some impressive aerobatic displays above the runway. However, the highlight of the day was undeniably the exhilarating sight of a Spitfire soaring past in a breathtakingly fast flyby.Although our visit was thoroughly enjoyable, there was one minor inconvenience we encountered. The distance between the various hangars proved to be quite significant, especially considering our limited time and the presence of a disabled passenger. Unfortunately, the shuttle bus service that would have facilitated our movement between the starting and ending points was out of service during our visit. It would have been immensely helpful to have this service available.Despite this small setback, our overall trip to Duxford left a lasting impression, and we are already making plans to return. I wholeheartedly recommend this museum to everyone, whether you're interested in exploring the exhibits or even considering the unique opportunity to fly into the airfield itself. The experience is truly remarkable and is sure to leave you with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for aviation history.

I have been to Duxford many times and it is always as good as the first time. The aircraft collection is amazing with a wide range from WW1 to modern day fighters such as the F15 and Tornado. There are many tanks and it is so cool to see the evolution of technology in something that would seem so simple. My favourite area is the Flying Aircraft" hangar

Amazing exhibits! I like how they have fitted all the aircraft in, especially the ones suspended from the ceiling - it gives a sense of drama. I have been there a few times, but there is always something else to see. As Duxford Airfield is very exposed, I recommend bringing a windproof coat, as the wind can be very strong and it can feel chilly even on a warm day. Also, if it is a hot day there is very little shade, so bring a hat and don't forget the sun cream...

Went with my 5 year old and 10 year old. Enough to keep them both interested. Well thought out museum. Fascinating aircraft and individual exhibits.The kids loved the interactive science of flight area so a shame a few of these exhibits were broken.Superb knowledgeable staff who were happy to help.Electric shuttle bus a really good addition to help with transport between hangars for tired young and old legs!Most exhibits have access for the disabled if required.Loved the fact the museum is next to the live Duxford runway so the kids could see spitfires and others taking off every half hour or so.Lots of areas to sit to eat lunch - we took packed lunch to save on costs.Took us about 6 hours of a leisurely stroll around the museum to feel we had seen enough (and the kids first mention of can we go home now").Great day out and will return."

Really enjoyed it. Not too crowded and lots to see. I was lucky on the day, as weather was great and there were a lot of planes flying around so we got to see some Hurricane aerobatics and some other WWII planes flying about. Would recommend.

Absolutely stunning experience. You can see all types of war vehicles, from aircraft (my favourite was the SR-71, beautiful one), through mortars and artillery to tanks from WW1, WW2 and modern ones. Also, boarding Concorde and seeing it in real life was amazing. When you are walking from one building to another, you will have an opportunity to see beautiful airplanes perform breathtaking acrobatic stunts. Although the t-shirt I picked in the souvenir shop was already sold out, they have a nice collection of items that are worth buying. 10/10, not visiting it would be a massive mistake.
