Very informative, £11 admission each for adults, that lasts for a full year. Loads of memorabilia from helicopters of old, to modern ones of today. The biggest helicopter museum apparently, in the world? Was good to have a browse, take pictures, and stand alongside the real helicopters that have seen real life action. Videos to watch with previous footage of the helicopters in action in Britain and overseas. Posters and wall write ups also. Very educational, and some of the helicopters are huge, especially the sea kings and royal ones used previously by royalty and politicians. Then there's a separate hanger with over 80 to view, and an outside section also for a stroll and look at other old relics. There is a café and toilet there also, free parking spaces right outside the museum. Brilliant few hours out, then a quiet drive down to Weston Super Mare pier, for fish n chips and people watching. Take a camera also, that museum will not disappoint.

Absolutely love it here, nice and localish to me, I have taken my little one many times. Today we went to the open cockpit day which was really good, not been to one before, my little one loved sitting inside some of the helicopters. £12 for adults and free re entry for a year, which is awesome whichever way you look at it! Under 4's free. Our next visit will be for the dinosaur event in July if not before! Café also does a great range of food and drink, all very reasonable, clean and modern.

I came with my son and husband, it's great on a wet day as its all indoor and there are so many different helicopters. My sons favourite was budgie but he is 2 so no surprise there. One of the helicopters is attended and has sound effects for the engines starting and winding down. The helicopter from black widow is featured as well as my husbands favourite the hind.

It was absolutely a wonderful experience here. I can understand the frustration of those who didn’t get to view closely or sit in any of the helicopters that is why you need to find out the open cockpit day so that you can have the best experience. So many units to see and feel. Will surely visit again.

Today we decided to visit the helicopter museum in weston super mare! Since our last visit in September we could see more helicopters had arrived and more things had been added to the displays. This time of year is a good time to visit to see the helicopters and look at the displays without the crowds! We had a great time looking at them all in detail today. Throughout the year there are different events held which are always good. We have previously visited on the world at war weekend where there is a lot going on including military displays, veteran parades and lots of military vehicles to look at. I have always enjoyed this event. The next one is planned for the 2nd and 3rd of April 2022. On another visit, we came to see the vintage buses and displays which I found to be a great day out! Numerous old buses and some new buses arrive at the helicopter museum. Throughout the day, the buses take people on mini tours around weston. Some of which stop on the Seafront so you can hop off, have a bit of a jolly and an icecream then hop on another to travel back to the helicopter museum. We visited another time and the owls and birds of prey had come along for the day! We enjoyed this day out because you could visit the helicopters plus see the birds up close. A fascinating day out we thought! Throughout the year, there are numerous days in which you can take helicopter rides from the museum which I believe travel across weston and along the Seafront. Hopefully in the future, this will be a fun adventure for us on a sunny day. All in all, if you like looking at helicopters and getting an idea of their uses or even how and why they are built then you would enjoy the helicopter museum. Or if you wanted to have a look at them and visit on one of their themed days then you would also enjoy visiting the museum.

What is there to say, it's a museum full of helicopters! Ranging from the oldest to the largest to the wackiest, they have it all. Staff were lovely, gave us lots of information when we arrived. Lunch on site was good! Everything was clean and very well maintained If you're into helicopters or things like that like to spin, this is a must to visit.

Took my son for a helicopter ride, whilst there, we looked around the museum & had some great chats with the staff, who previously worked at Westlands. Great staff & an interesting visit.

Great visit here! We went on national helicopter day, lots of the aircraft had open cockpits with very knowledgeable volunteers. We all had a fantastic time. The staff were lovely. The museum was very clean and is wheelchair accessible. We had lunch in the onsite cafe, again great staff and the food was really nice. I recommend the flapjacks 😋

A very large range of helicopters here. Great if the weather is not good outside. Lots to see and read here. Friendly staff and reasonable prices in the shop. There is also a pilot who you can ask about the helicopters and you can sit in a helicopters with him and he explains how it works and you can put of the headgear etc too.

Had a great day. Helicopters were fantastic to see . My kids enjoyed sitting in one and having it explained to them. Shop was well priced as was the cafe. Only one thing that let it down . No outdoor eating area or covered area to eat when wet as it was when we went. Had to have a picnic in the car park Still a great day and worth a visit.

Took our 3 year boy and loved it, great collection is the hangers, which you are able to get up close to. We went on a day with an open cockpit day, the team were extremely knowledgable and very welcoming! We didn’t eat however on reviewing the prices they seemed very reasonable along with the shop. We will be going back for sure, especially as the tickets are valid for 12 months!

Well worth the £11 (each) entry fee! (Not often you will read that from me!). Never realised how big helicopters really are (were!). No Chinook unfortunately, but my favourite the Huey is well represented (watch Apocalypse Now! to get what I mean). Some fantastic early historical examples. Definitely include this place on your itinerary if you are in the area. Don't forget the airfield outside, not much going on whilst we were there but there is an old control tower building with some amazing informational exhibits. Easy to park.

My 2 little boys loved exploring all the helicopters. I LOVED the Hind! Brings back James Bond, Metal Gear Solid and now Top Gun vibes! Most of the site is undercover, parking is free, pricing is cheap to reasonable and tickets last a year. Awesome value. There is a cafe on site as well as a shop. Going in half term gave the boys a chance to see a kids entertainer and sit in some helicopters which they really enjoyed. I've been a couple of times over the years and it is nice to see more helicopters added.

Fantastic Museum. Really interesting if you are interested in helicopters of varying descriptions besides the engineering of them. Parking is free. I booked a helicopter flight which lasted 8 minutes, great value and should not be missed. Best purchase your helicopter ticket (Includes the cost of the museum entry) in advance as places on the day of your visit could be limited.

Great place to visit on the edge of weston, ticket lasts all year. Huge range of helicopters to see including a Russian hind. Gift shop cafe and toilets on site.

Great place for kids who enjoy helicopters, could do with more interactive items to really capture the kids .one of its helcopters was in the film black widow and flown .its got a cafe with great service and good clean restroom. and you get to go back free as many times as you want during the 12 months from your ticket purchase date .

Spent the day, looking at helicopters and attending the invasion dalek event. Staff is very friendly. The guys showing and letting you sit in the helicopters were very informative about the history. The event was very well organised.

An interesting place to while away a few hours. There are some interesting exhibits, like the passenger helis with luxury seats, a Huey from Vietnam, and some that have been in films. Don’t miss the white building outside, has a dog fight simulator and clothes to wear. The cafe is very reasonably priced and homemade pastries are good. Tickets last a year so even if you’re down for the weekend you can split your visit. Wasn’t busy either.

If you are interested about helicopters then this is a really good place to visit. Hangers are not heated so if visiting in cold weather, then have warm clothes on. So many different types of helicopters from different times restored to very good condition. Staff were very friendly. Good facilities and plenty of parking.

Took our some who wanted to see the hind, he loved every minute of it... There's lots to see and a ton of information. I'd have to say the hind an Huey is the main thing for me . If you register for vat then you get a year on your ticket... Well worth a visit.

In most of the museums, helicopters are always act as minor role of other war machines. It's really appreciate that some people are passionate to helicopters and build a museum for them. The volunteers have great knowledge about the operation of the helicopters & their own history. I've talked to them for a while and learnt something that not mentioned on the information board. If you have a chance to visit the museum, make sure you spend some time to talk to them and ask them so questions. I'm sure you will learn a lot from them and can understand their dedication to the helicopters.

Popped in for an unplanned visit whilst the M5 was a standstill and I was blown away by the sheer number of exhibits that have squeezed into the hangar! A great selection of vintage and modern helicopters are on show, whilst the restaurant is reasonably priced and large (not to mention it is open to those who don't want to enter the actual museum section).

A great day out, we went to see the Darleks, took our grandson was a bit on the pricey side, but still worth the visit.

Wide selection of interesting helicopters from their early history, but no Sea King! Informative displays on how helicopters work and control systems. A lot of info available using QR codes, but need to use your phone and data to view. Cafe and gift shop ok.

We started with our morning coffee which was very good. Great exhibits with good descriptions for the exhibits. Very friendly volunteers. Satisfied my ambition to see a US Huey, veteran of the Vietnam war. Must return.

Visited today, and was rather disappointed. No doubt the volunteers and the preservation of the helicopters is fantastic, however the museum was a bit dull. I'm not saying that we should be allowed to climb all over the helicopters, however if at least a few could be opened up to allow more interaction that would have made the visit more enjoyable. Especially when you have variants that include a civil passenger helicopter with a toilet? That would have been cool to see. I'm aware of the open cockpit days, which I would say would be the best days to visit on. Alright for a stop off if passing, however don't make a special trip for it. Did not feel it was worthy of the entrance fee. Would have preferred to travel and spend a few pounds more to visit concorde. Sorry guys, great work, just a bit dull.

We had an absolutely awesome day at the Helicopter Museum during the dinosaur weekend. Didn't take many photos of the helicopters this time but we will be back for another visit before the summer is out. Good value day out I would say and my dinosaur mad daughter had some great interactions with the dinos!

Our first time visiting the museum... Had a wonderful day, very interesting and informative... Our children enjoyed the dinosaur exhibition, but mostly enjoyed sitting in the cockpit of the various helicopter types! Unfortunately the simulator was having technical issues, so we never got the opportunity to experience this. The cafe onsite offered various hot and cold drinks along with a variety of homecooked foods which were really yummy... Kim the chef was extremely friendly and went that extra mile! She is a credit to your establishment! Would recommend, thanks for an enjoyable day! Linzie, Rob and the Children (Greater Manchester)

We spent +2 hours there. Well recommended. Tickets are well priced and there's loads to see. Staff very knowledgeable and give you all the attention for 1 on 1 conversations. Kid friendly.

I decided to take my two daughters aged 11 & 14 and 2 nephews aged 13 & 15 to visit this museum as my nephew loves planes and helicopters and hopes to become a pilot. On entry we didn't feel welcomed and felt a awkward vibe. I asked Wendy who was the receptionist if there was a entry fee as i couldn't find anything on their website prior to going there hence i thought it might be free entry. I was told in a very abrupt way the prices which were £15 per adult and £6 for children. My 11 year older daughter looked at the prices and expressed her opinion that it feels costly. This was taken very negatively by Wendy who then almost gave my daughter a lecture of why it wasn't costly. In my opinion along with all 4 children with me feel that it was costly. Other fellow members who have left reviews also feel the same. Bless Wendy who looked in her late 80s and who appeared to be doing this job on a voluntarily basis is super passionate about the museum but not allowing & accepting & listening to a child's opinion is very wrong. Times are difficult but I was happy to pay the price so i decided to have a look at the shop so that i can ask the children what they think. All 4 children responded saying they felt a sense of racism. I was shocked & didn't think this way at all. They made me think more carefully and its them who made me realise that this place made us feel unwanted. Without any further thought we left. I would have paid the money had the person been friendly. I would like to suggest to The helicopter museum that if at all possible to reduce your prices slightly and if this is not possible then to employ people who can make paying customers feel welcome. Please remember we have worked for our money, it doesn't grow on trees. May i wish you the best of luck in achieving this.

What an amazing place to visit , that staff a great and welcoming, they also have a great café where you can have hot food and drinks. This place is a must for anyone who love helicopter's or are just a fan in general of aviation 10/10 a must .🚁🚁

We visited with the grandchildren on a wet Saturday afternoon. The staff were lovely The museum is very informative. I was interested in visiting as my friends served at RAF Locking and my father was also in the RAF. The price of the ticket is good value especially as it is for a year long revisit. The gift shop is very good value.

Very interesting place, we were able to enter 3 helicopters as well, friendly staff who spent some time explaining everything. Ample parking available. Entrance fees is decent, the place is well managed overall. Highly Recommended.
