Been to visit here to view planes at the airport (mainly) but was genuinely surprised by the number and variety of planes in the museum area. There's not a huge variety or quantity of aviation traffic at East Midlands Airport so having static displays in the Aeropark makes for a really nice distraction.There is a drinks machine and toilets, a raised area to watch planes at the airport, lots of aircraft and associated equipment in various states of restoration, a kids play area, small museum area. All very nice. Don't expect it to be a highly polished museum, but it is well kept and worth a visit. On hot days, and therefore busy days, parking can be limited but only due to the volume of visitors.
A great free way of entertaining the kids, park up and watch those planes
Wonderful place to visit if you are interested in aircraft, and a good place for kids. The team work hard to keep the aircraft in good condition and if they are able to open the it up, you can sit in the cockpit of the VC10. Shop with souvenirs and refreshments and a good view of EMA to see planes land and take off.
Excellent day out, lots of historic aircraft, including the Vulcan and Lightning. Friendly staff. Look out for the open days and check out the viewing mound over the airport. Apps such as flight radar will give you departure and arrivals, so its quite nice to see where aircraft have come from and are going to.
Great place for a bit of plane spotting. Clean and tidy, good selection of planes to look at. Take a nice pack up and chill for a few hours. Great on a sunny day.
