   Something different to do on a very rainy day!! Everything you see is inside! Plenty of free parking. 4 hangers in the museum and the last Concorde it another hanger. It was very interesting to go inside the concorde and guides to ask questions. There is a cafe but prices are very high. If you have a family I would definitely recommend talking your own food. Also a gift shop. Tickets are valid for a year and are worth buying online as you get a small reduction in price.

   I visited the museum with my wife specifically to see Concorde. This didn’t meet my expectations- the whole experience FAR surpassed them. A lovely few hours out. Concorde pretty overwhelming, and very well cared for. Whole experience made very special by a lovely, lovely volunteer called Dave, who knew his stuff and clearly loved the plane. Also found the Cafe lovely. I will almost certainly be going back.

   Free parking is always a good start. The Concorde is, of course, the star of the show – a stunning reminder of what happens when British and French engineers armed with little more than paper, pens and a shedload of maths decide to do something extraordinary. You can go inside, walk through it, and marvel at the detail. Ideally, visit on a weekday – it’s quieter and you’ll have more time to take it all in. You get a small discount if you book online in advance. The defence section is both fascinating and a little terrifying. Toilets are clean, the gift shop is well stocked, and the café is large with a good selection (if a bit on the pricey side). In short: go. Buy some fridge magnets and postcards, and show your kids what real innovation looks like. As the UK slides further behind in engineering, it’s never been more important to inspire the next generation with things that actually matter – not whatever political junk is trending on TikTok. Support this place. It deserves it.

   An amazing experience if you find anything to do with planes interesting. Spent 3 hours there and could have done more but had another event to attend. There was an amazing amount of history in one place on how aerospace evolved over the years. If you find planes and their history interested this is definitely one to go to! Highly recommmend it!

   The Aerospace complex is an amazing place, lots of history, lots of technical info, volunteers are knowledgable and very helpful. Tckets bought once are valid for 1 year, so we can come back and visit this place again, which is amazing. The complex is situated in ULEZ free area of Bristol which is the main important thing for us from the outside Bristol area. I do highly recommend it as a day trip with or without children.

   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
