What can I see at South Wales Aviation Museum?

Visitors, young and old, will be thrilled to take in the vast array of military aircraft on display. These are more than just stunning pieces of engineering to look at. The preservation of these planes helps to tell the story of the history of British military aviation and the role of the RAF in keeping Britain safe in times of war and peace. 

In the exhibition rooms, you'll find loads of fascinating aeronautical memorabilia and artefacts to look at and learn about. 

Many of the aircraft on display at SWAM are located inside the aircraft hangar, making it an excellent place for rainy day visits.

Climb into the cockpit- try out the pilots seat!

At SWAM, it's all about the interactive experience, which is why you'll find a selection of cockpits open for you to climb in and look closer. Kids will love to climb into the pilot's seat and look closer at the switch buttons and lights on the control panels, an experience sure to stimulate young imaginations. This fab museum is bound to inspire the next generation of aviators! Of course, you'll want to take loads of pictures to remember your day for years. 

Before you leave, you'll also want to stop by the well-stocked gift shop and onsite café for a bite.  

We're sure your visit to South Wales Aviation Museum will be memorable and stay with you for years to come. 

South Wales Aviation Museum is open on Saturdays, Sundays and bank Holidays from 10am to 4pm.
