IWM Duxford

What a fabulous place, we had our Christmas party here. It was awesome . Friendly knowledgeable staff, great atmosphere, good food but most importantly amazing planes. What's not to love?! Also if you are a visitor in the day time the sunset is stunning

I love this place.We went as a family to the flying legends airshow and it was absolutely fantastic.The sights, sounds and smells are amazing. A true aviation enthusiasts dream.There is so much to do, the main hanger, the American museum and the land warfare museum will fill a day easily.The only one thing I would say is if on flying days there was more for the younger girls, happy children would be made.My daughter loves planes but she wants pink and fluffy things lol. And I am sure that goes for many 6 year old girls.

very good time spent here and lots to see, helpful stuff to answer any questions even depending when you go they have some good shows and events on. but in general see few odd planes take flight.unfortunately only down side is, where its so big its spread out to far and inbetween, it can be a struggle for elderly people to walk it all. rented mobility scooters would be ideal for the elderly just because purely on the size of the place just a suggestion.

Battle of Britain Day. What an amazing place Duxford is. It's a brilliant day out on any day of the week but today took this to another level.We arrived early to take in the hangars and stands. The American Hangar is my favourite. The flying started at 1pm and there was a tremendous array of WW2 aircraft to enjoy.The Red Arrows put on a great show towards the end but the icing on the cake was the Lancaster and Sally B flying together for the first time in decades. The cherry on top was the 16 Spitfires and Hurricanes that made up the big wing who performed two passes.Having flown in a Spitfire, the next item on the aviation bucket list was to go inside a B17. As luck would have it and for 20 very happily spent pounds I was given a very thorough tour inside and out by a super enthusiastic crew member. It was quite a humbling experience to actually stand in the place that countless brave airmen risked their lives whilst under fire. A similar feeling to when I flew in the Spitfire, the B17 is a truly wonderful aircraft.The only slight gripe was being forced to turn left out of the carpark added a rather large detour to our journey, not that it mattered. An awesome day and I will be back again... and again... and probably again!

We loved every minute of our visit. There is so much to see that we didn't get to go to all the hangars. We will definitely be going back again. The staff are amazing and the tour we did of the Lancaster was so informative and interesting. Wonderful day out if you live History and aviation.

Duxford is a truly wonderful place to visit with a huge range of aircraft that are both static and flying, and a fantastic land museum with a range of tanks and vehicles from multiple eras. There is so much to learn and you can spend a long day here so I'd highly recommend getting there early, say to start the day 10am to 10.30am, as this gives lots of time to look around in a relaxed and leisurely way. There's often planes flying around too so you can often see a mini air show on days that are not official airshows. Really amazing and very special place that played a crucial role during the Second World War. Highly recommended and a great place for kids and families to visit.

If you love aircraft, particularly military, then this is definitely the place to go. Spread across 6 hangers is a massive collection of aircraft along with displays, engines, propellers, and one dedicated to land based military equipment with a setup unlike anything I have seen before.The staff on hand are exceptionally helpful and the gift shop has some really great stuff in it.I am disabled and use a large mobility scooter to get about, and barring the control room I waa able to get everywhere. You can see they have thought about accessibility a lot and that is great for me so I have to give a shout out to them for that.

Fantastic experience and weekend!It's definitely worth visiting and exploring several museums for the whole day. Airshow was amazing with excellent line-up of fantastic historical planes. Live Battle of Britain and the Red Arrows have put a fabulous show...

Amazing museum! so much to see, a mile of runway with hangers filled to the top with different aircraft and memorabilia. The only thing I didn't like is the almost forced donation even though they describe it as voluntary along with gift-aid during entry, and the food in the cafe was not great, my salad looked very old and the whole thing looked like it had been prepared a long time ago. The coffee was good though.

If you love planes, tanks or history this is an amazing day out, great displays with good write ups that interest all ages. The workshop hangers are incredible to watch a spitfire or hurricane being restored or given inspections. The workshops also smell amazing.It's a lot of walking and lots to see, we got distracted by everything and went for lunch late, by which time the food choices were limited. Go, enjoy, read and by the end of the day you will be able to recognize which is a hurricane or spitfire, P51 or thunderbolt
