What happens if it's a poor weather
forecast this spring/summer?
Don’t forget that our site has extensive under cover displays including two aircraft display halls that house more than 52 aircraft, helicopters and cockpits.
In addition to these airframes the museum displays (under cover) a diverse display of more than 30 aero engines. On site there is an excellent Café, which is always warm and welcoming; plus an extensive Shop, which was once described as "An Aviation Enthusiasts Dream!" It's also been described as an #AVgeekUtopia
Here’s what on visitor said on TripAdvsior on 30 July 2014: “Visited on a day of torrential rain but with two large display hangars as well as plenty of external exhibits, not a problem. The aircraft are mainly Cold War era, latest type on show being a Jaguar. Particularly striking are the Vulcan and the Lightning in its new paint job. Two MiGs and two Saab's (Draken & Viggen) provide foreign interest.”
We’re open 7 days a week, 10am to 5pm throughout the spring/summer - last admission to museum 4pm, last access for shopping 3.40pm (closed 24, 25, 26 Dec and 1 Jan) – with free car parking right outside the museum site – so don’t let the weather make you stay at home – visit Newark Air Museum.
Last admission to the museum 4.00pm and last admission to the Museum Shop for shoppers is 4.40pm.
