The Royal Air Force Museum in Cosford offers a fun, entertaining day out for all the family. Entry is free and we’re open daily from 10.00am.
Things to See and Do
The new Bomber Command Exhibition is now open. Visitors can explore and engage with stories of the crew, technology and raids that were crucial to Allied victory in the Second World War.
Flight Simulator, 4D Experience and Virtual Reality Zone – come and try the 4D Experience, Black Hawk simulator and the Virtual Reality Zone in the Test Flight hangar (charges apply).
Discover the fascinating, sometimes surprising, array of aircraft and objects in the collection.
Alongside the aircraft are free exhibitions, flight-related memorabilia and interactive displays. View a variety of flight-related artwork in our art gallery. Some of these are available to purchase if one takes your fancy.
In the National Cold War Exhibition look out for the life-size Russian dolls and for those with a head for heights, take the lift to the top of our viewing gallery and look down at the mighty Belfast Transporter.
In Hangar 1, you will find the 1:1 scale Airfix Spitfire – which was featured on BBC2’s James May Toy Stories – complete with a model pilot.
Family friendly facilities include extra wide aisles for push-chairs, baby buggy parks, baby changing rooms in each of the Museum’s Hangars, plus a Changing Places Toilet in the Museum’s Visitor Centre. Don’t forget to drop in on Flight Zone, where for a small charge visitors can either paraglide down a virtual course, take the pilot’s seat in a virtual Spitfire, or ride a Typhoon Jet through the Cumbrian countryside in our simulator.
