Why visit
It gives children big aircraft to explore, enough indoor hangars to keep the visit structured, and enough scale to feel like a destination day rather than a short museum browse.
Access
Wheelchair loans, sensory backpacks, and calmer Relaxed Mornings are available, but some aircraft boarding is still stairs-only.
