With plenty of indoor and outdoor space for children to blow off steam and no need to whisper in the exhibition areas, the Imperial War Museum Duxford is a particularly family friendly Museum with lots to see. As Europe's top aviation museum and heritage complex, Duxford's world-famous collection of over 200 historic aircraft draws visitors from all over Britain and all the facilities needed for a great day out are available, including ample free parking, a licensed restaurant and shops.
"We very much hope that people will take this opportunity to come and discover IWM Duxford over the holiday period." says Tracey Woods, Duxford's Marketing & Public Relations Manager. "On average, visitors will spend some 5 1/2 hours exploring Duxford and enjoying all it has to offer. There's plenty to see including the dramatic new £25 million AirSpace exhibition telling the story of Britain's civil and military aviation, past, present and future."Â
The Museum is open from 10.00 am every day except 24-26 December and is FREE for children under 16 years. Duxford is located just south of Cambridge on the M11, being easily accessible from the A14, A1, M1 & the North.
