I had a lovely morning there with my son.
It’s not a huge museum but you get really close, sit in the exhibits etc or hold the odd missile etc!
Very friendly staff many of whom served / flew the aircraft who will tell you as much as you want to know but equally delighted for you to potter about.
Very quiet when we visited on a glorious sunny day. Some exhibits outside in a lovely big field with nice views

Fantastic museum and crew! Mike, Jerry and the guys were affable, engaging and interesting hosts. Absolutely worth your time and a visit. Seen quite a few museums, but rarely does a museum have such a fun and informative set of volunteers. A must-visit!

Well this is a great little museum with great friendly staff and very knowledgeable volunteers. It may be small but is packed with information about the development of Gatwick Airport. A good collection of aircraft undercover and a few more outside. One of which the (Shackleton) is open for you to tour with aircrew that flew it this is included in the entry price. Can recommend a visit to this museum for both adults and kids alike.

I arranged for a group of 28 to visit the museum. As we were a large group, the museum kindly offered to open on a day when they are usually closed. Volunteers gladly gave up their free time to ensure that we all had the full experience.
On arrival, we were split into four groups of seven for the tour. The tour consisted of a guided walk through several interesting exhibits, ranging from the history of the area, a review of commercial operators that have used Gatwick, and many military aircraft.
The group were particularly interested in the new Virgin Airlines exhibit, with a full size, fully equipped section of the plane, and the Shackleton, used for surveillance during the Cold War. The range of aircraft in the hangar was most impressive.
All the exhibits were well displayed in the recently modernised areas, but the day was made by the enthusiasm and knowledge of the volunteers. All the guides had personal knowledge of their area and gave humorous and informative talks.
There really is something for everyone in this museum, and I fully recommend it for a fascinating visit.

Wonderful visit. The volunteers were extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Happy to answer any questions.
They opened the museum specially for our large group as they are not open every day.

Great little museum. Very accessible with plenty of parking. Staff are very friendly and knowledgable and thoroughly enjoy serving the museum. A few interactive opportunities for child, e.g. sitting in a Virgin cabin, helicopter. The shackleton is a highlight and Mike, who flew this aircraft around the world and is now aged 88 provided some fantastic insights. Kids tickets(U5) are free and so the limited items to keep the engaged is understandable. Adult pricing perhaps a little high given the size of the museum but it goes towards restoring the aircraft. A good afternoon and not too busy, which made for a pleasant trip.

Wonderful memories of my time flying as cabin crew. Engines, aircraft, pictures. Really enjoyed it. One of the volunteers took us round and explained some things. Then outside they have a Shackleton.

We had a Friday tour of the museum and exhibits. It was fascinating and we were amazed at the large display of post WW2 aircraft there was, including lots of information and aviation related equipment and displays.
The guided tour of the Shackleton Cold War search aircraft was a real treat and there's also a history of Gatwick Airport, with models, maps and photos for local interest.

Brought my 5 year old son here for the firs time earlier today, and had a thoroughly enjoyable morning out. The displays are well laid out, and featured some genuinely interesting aircraft (Saudi Lightning and RAF Harrier GR3), both indoors and out.
I would have liked to have spent longer than the couple of hours that I did, but there is no cafe or dining area (though there are picnic tables to bring your own) and so with the little one I have to cut the visit a little short. In fact, the absence of somewhere to sit down and eat was the only reason I didn't give it a five star rating, but I do understand that, as a relatively small organisation, they do not perhaps have the resources for this.
That said, would thoroughly recommend if you're looking to spend a morning or an afternoon looking at some fine aviation history.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit last Friday with our 2 year old grandson. Very friendly and knowledgeable volunteers who gave us a tour around the museum and had some interesting first hand stories to tell.

How long is the tour?

Give yourself an hour for a tour. The volunteers flex to suit your interest, but I’d give minimum of an hour.
How much does it cost for 4 people to go on a Sunday?

As of late 2021 it’s £10 per adult.

You will need a taxi or car. There are no buses to the museum.
