Had 2 great days out here. Really enjoyed it. It's free to get in so only have to pay for parking which was £3.50. There is an activity area with hands on things for kids to do. For a small fee there is a simulator and amazing 4d cinema which is well worth a go. Had a lovely meal at the cafe which had both hot and cold food and a costa coffee. There is also indoor and outdoor tables where you can take a picnic. My 17 month old loved looking at the planes. Mostly indoors so great whatever the weather!
