Traveler reviews
Sviatlana.B
★★★★★2 months agoWe visited the museum for the Cercle Festival on the last of its three days.✌️ The grounds were transformed into a massive stage, with performances taking place beneath an A380, a Concorde, and directly in front of an authentic Ariane rocket. Amazing, very cool experience! If you're not against large crowds, I'd suggest arriving closer to sunset, when the bigger-name artists are performing and the light show really comes alive.
Paul Biggar
★★★★★a month agoOne of the best museums to cover full history of flight from balloons to space exploration. Museum appears to be very well funded and run. Plan for several hours to see it all. The cafeteria was surprisingly good. The place is huge so I cannot imagine crowds are an issue on busy days.
