"Helicopter Experience Flights"

*All Experience Flights are dependent on the weather and may be cancelled at short notice. If you have booked a Flight you are strongly advised to phone the Museum, on 01934-635227, before starting your journey.

The inclusive cost of admission to The Museum and a 7-minute Helicopter Experience Flight, in 2020, is Ł50.00 for adults, with reductions for Senior Citizens, Students and Children.

The Museum has published a 12-page booklet, compiled by Elfan ap Rees, which is designed for members of the public who are taking their first helicopter flight or are thinking of doing so. Simple drawings explain how helicopters work and why they are much safer than many people think. The booklet will be issued free of charge to passengers who book Museum Experience Flights. It is also being sold at the Museum bookshop and is available by mail order at Ł1.25. Bulk orders are available to other operators and training schools.

Facilities and Opening Times

The Museum, with FREE on-site car-parking, has over 80 exhibits, all under cover, and a café, within the main hangar, which is temporarily closed while the construction of a new visitor entrance and facilities building is in progress.

Museum admission charges in 2020 are Ł7.50 for adults and Ł4.50 for children (4-15) with reductions for students, seniors and family groups.

The Museum Shop (HeliWorld) sells the largest range of Helicopter oriented books, magazines, models, model kits, toys, clothing and souvenirs in the UK.

On Open Cockpit Days our experienced and dedicated volunteers will be in The Museum's main hangar to talk to visitors and answer questions about the stunning collection of Helicopters. (See dates above.)
