    Excellent little museum, made even better by the volunteers who impart their knowledge with such enthusiasm. Like many small museums they're trying to get by on donations and volunteers. We'll with a visit. Thank you Keith and chaps.

    Located just off the Carew roundabout on the A477 to Pembroke Dock this WW2 control tower has been restored to form the basis of an excellent museum. Open on Wednesday and Thursday 10-3, July to October and most Saturdays 9.30-12, the site gives you a glimpse of what was once a WW1 Royal Naval Airship Station and then WW2 airfield, in which it performed a number of roles. Easy to access with free parking, wheelchair friendly and toilets on site. Recommended.

    An incredible hidden gem! We saw the roadside signs and decided to stop by, and so glad we did! The volunteers were all so friendly and happy to chat and answer any questions about the history. The 'museum' has so much memorabilia, much of which I hadn't seen similar before, and within the control tower we were able to have a talk about various elements of what went on at the site during WWII. Very good value for money for what a lovely experience it is. Loads of parking too.

    A lovely museum, it isn't a large place but still lots on display. Staff were amazing & I enjoyed listening to the real life experiences of the war.

    Time it right to see the volunteers and you’ll have a lovely walk through history… you can see a lot of effort has gone into keeping the place alive….

    Brilliant museum. The pride the workers take in ensuring your visit is fulfilled is awesome. Plenty of knowledge of the place ! Definitely worth the visit. Great job in restoring the watch tower!

    Can't recommend this place enough. Its small but its full to the brim with interesting stuff. The people who work there are absolutely some of the friendliest and knowledgeable people I have ever met. Price to get in is cheap and 100% worth it. We gave them a donation and I think once you see the work and dedication that goes into the place, you will too.

    Lovely staff who had a wealth of information about the site and local history giving free tours to small groups whilst maintaining social distancing. A fiver for adults and we were there for a couple of hours, there’s a great deal of memorabilia to see and experience. Highly recommend for adults and young adults alike. Not recommended for very little children. Dogs welcome LGBT+ welcome Some areas not suitable for wheelchair access.
