just a fabulous insight on flying and fighter planes well worth the time spent - This was a fabulous time with big sons and grandson, plus the added bonus of the cafe which had just about everything on the menu which could be done gluten free - definitely will be revisiting.

A lovely return visit - Returning after many years was still a very good experience. Things have not changed much here since the last visit but that's what makes it great. The children are able to experience the place differently as they look at the detail and history of the planes. The cafe staff are very friendly and the facilities are clean and well maintained. It was good to be back!

Feel the Need for Speed - Even if you are not all that intriguing in planes stopping for a look at all the military aviation history is really worthwhile. The aray of planes is fantastic from early days, and through the conflicts such as Korea, Vietnam and beyond with the F-111. The kids young or old (and dads) will love the chance to sit in the cockpit of a Mirage! Fun for all the family!

Good for Aircraft - There is a small selection of aircraft and historic items on display. You can sit in some of the aircraft and look into others. They have a raised viewing platform to watch aircraft at Newcastle Airport / RAAF Williamtown. They do also have a great little cafe attached, with great value meals and drinks.

Great family trip to see warcraft - Very friendly volunteers, knowledgeable and happy to give you tips on how to make the most of the place. There are two hangars with the newer planes in the entry hangar. There is also a viewing area and platform to allow you to watch aircraft taking off and landing. Great to spend an hour or two here.

Great visit - This was a great experience. The facility includes multiple hangers with aircraft, posters and documentaries. It also had a viewing deck with a great and uninterrupted view of the runway used by both commercial planes and Air Force planes. There is a small cafe and a gift shop.

Educational trip - It is worth stopping and visiting this museum:) Interesting to see the fighter jet planes for real and what does it look like at a closer look. My 10 year old son really loved it! Fu and educational with kids around:) We were also lucky to see an actual practice of jet planes in the sky at the look out:)
