Although I'm not very interested in aviation, this is a fascinating place to visit from a historical point of view. It is well organised and even though it was busy, everything worked well. All in return for a small donation. Well done to the volunteers who run it. Good for all ages.

Such a treat - Welcoming and enthusiastic volunteers take you into and around this amazing slice of history. If you are interested in air transport, 30's architecture, the way Britain ran in the 30's this will be a real eye opener.
You need to book in advance as only open once a month adn the trips do go at a pace but such a joy that the airport building has survived and that this charity is keeping its memories alive.

I am 16 and i doing my GCSE’s, they are not at all nice but I am getting through them. I am covering ‘flight’ as a design topic for an art project in which I need to create a mural design for a airport. Many students are taking Heathrow and Gatwick, and some other airports from different countries. But what I found out is you don’t need to create a mural design for a currently operational airport. So I chose Croydon airport, to embrace the history, culture and still manage to be using the same specifications that the other students use.
My time there was informative fun to learn about these sorts of things and has given me a good insight into the airport’s history. I have to thank Neil for touring us. He was very knowledgeable and helpful with my understanding of the airport’s history and culture.
I recommend going there to anyone who is interested in the aviation history of Croydon and it will help preserve Croydon’s legacy.

Very valuable experience. Loads of historical facts. Great guide - Neil.
I very much recommend it to everyone. Not only those living locally but everyone willing to learn something new.

I throughly enjoyed my visit to Croydon airport with my family. The tour guides were superb - so knowledgeable and dedicated. Neil was excellent and had an exceptional level of knowledge about the site. Roger’s videos were really excellent - such a brilliant way to show what the airport used to look like. I will try and find his other videos on YouTube as they were fascinating. My daughter really enjoyed the flight simulator in the control tower.
I will definitely tell friends and family to visit. I wish it was open more than one Sunday per month. The volunteers are all so great. I bought a couple of souvenirs to take home - a mug and a magnet for me and a glider toy for my daughter. What a lovely afternoon we had!

Fantastic visit led by brilliant tour guide Neil — supported by wonderfully knowledgeable volunteers throughout. This should really be a national museum, such is its significance in the history of aviation. Thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.

This was a fascinating experience for anyone interested in early aviation. This was virtually the birth place for civil aviation transport and direction finding for aircraft. The guides were very well informed and fully engaged in explaining all aspects of early civil aviation. This was my second visit and still learnt more. Despite the period of time passed and the many changes in the building and area much has been done by the Croydon airport society volunteers to demonstrate and explain how it all was and how it all worked. Very interesting.

I first drove past Croydon airport in my fathers car in 1958 and watched an aircraft lumber into the air. So it would be some 65 years before my grandson asked me to take him to see the museum which is only a 20 minute drive from where we live.
It was well worth the wait though. Like everyone we had a timed entry and were requested to make a small donation to its upkeep. The enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers dotted about couldn't have been more welcoming while we waited for a tour guide Neil. My grandson took great delight in addressing the questions in a quiz gaining answers from a variety of sources during the 45 minute tour which took in both the exterior of the building and the control tower. There are no actual aircraft to see apart from the Heron by the entrance so most of the interest is either related to the building itself or the numerous artifacts from the golden age of flighting as well as photographs and computer generated imaginary.
Once the tour was complete there was plenty of time to walk around the control room and adjacent exhibits. All in all a very presented preserved piece of aviation history.

Always driven passed in the car, saw an advert for a tour day and went along. I can highly recommend this, tour guides were very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. £6 donation to attend, very reasonable to help with the upkeep of the museum.

Hello.
Thank you for your enquiry.
The museum is located on the top two floors of the Control,Tower and also has a large display area on the ground floor of the main building. The ground floor has full disabled accessibility and there is a lift up to the museum level. Only one floor of the museum has disability access.
I hope the above helps and we look forward to seeing you.
