Without a doubt, this is one of the best museums in the U.K. a very large and well maintained collection tells the tale of WW1, WW2 and beyond. The air show is a real thriller.

Paul Singleton

A great day out £17 each but worth every penny. Every aircraft you can think of and tanks. A piece of the twin towers and the Berlin wall..great day for kids young and old

Nick Lee

Museum is of its kind in Europe, houses the largest collection of U.S. vintage airplanes outside of the U.S., including Boeing airplanes such as the Stearman, F-15 and the museum 's centerpiece, a B-52

Spiros Apostolopoulos

Great place for the kids to play, and a great day out for all the family!!

Gyuzel Zarieva

Good attraction for kids and adults. It's perhaps 10th time we were visiting the IWM Duxford and its always something new to see. Also they are building a new playground !

Paul Hughes

Lots of walking for young children-saw a family with scooters today. Brilliant idea! Also food is poor so bring a picnic-there's an M&S at a nearby garage (Sawston) with a good sandwich etc selection.

Battlefield Historian

Personally I think this is the best military museum I've visited in Britain; there is so much to do & see here, with friendly & helpful staff , and excellent facilities. Not to be missed!

Steve Smith

Excellent place to visit, make sure you get there early and can spend the whole day there. It is a huge site.

Keith Lenthall Wells

This was a fascinating days out. So MUCH to see, walk round Concorde too!! Eight hangars in all, and well worth the effort to see all

James Regan

Fantastic displays covers the whole of aviation from invention to modern day.

Ward Hills

If you visit in a week prior to airshows you can watch the practice flights. Sometimes better than the show! But the shows are worth a visit also. One of the best collections in the World.

Andy R

Great new exhibits to see even when no air show on (you may be lucky to catch some though). Food and drink a bit expensive though.

Simon Bloomfield

Good day out with the family. Long walk to see the tanks but worth it. Restaurant was shut for refurb - which was a bit of a disappointment.

Patrick Phillips

Expensive, but with it for a day out. All children under 16 are free which is good for families !

David Duncan

Brilliant place to visit great information for kids

Home to the only member of the Blackbird family outside the United States . SR-71A, serial number 61-7962, set a flight altitude record of 85,069 feet in July 1976.

Sorin Sbârnea

Where there is a show, arrive before 9:30 to avoid the queues. Also go to the car before the show is officially over, to avoid loosing another 1-2 hours due to the traffic.

Ian Thompson

Never get tired of Duxford. Well presented, great staff and exhibits , added bonus of seeing a Spitfire practice!

Julian Bye

The American hangar is amazing. Loved the land warfare area.

Wendy Mawson

Use the park and ride. No hassle getting in or out. Brilliant day well worth the money.

Ben

Go to the American hanger first and work your way back to avoid the crowds.

Catherine Pickworth

Really good collection and you get free admission at the Duxford air show

Each exhibition hall takes up 20 to 40 mins. Allow a day to visit the whole museum

Jaroslaw Marciuk

A museum in the air. Be prepared for a lot of walking.

Kelly Goh

The best place to see old warbirds fly...airshows here are not to be missed especially if you like B-17 Flying Fortresses, Spitfires , Hurricanes and Lancasters

Amber Books Ltd

It's a trek to the American hangar , but well worth it to see the B-52 and other classic US warbirds .

Jonathan G
