Aeroscopia, located in Toulouse, is a treasure trove for aviation enthusiasts and curious minds alike. This aeronautic museum offers an immersive experience, showcasing an impressive collection of real-size planes and providing unique opportunities to step inside iconic aircraft such as the Concorde and Airbus A380. My visit to Aeroscopia was nothing short of extraordinary, and here's why. The highlight of the museum is undoubtedly the chance to explore the Concorde up close. Stepping into this legendary supersonic jet feels like entering a time capsule, allowing visitors to appreciate the sheer engineering marvel that defined an era of aviation. The meticulously preserved interior, complete with the luxurious seats and cockpit, offers an authentic glimpse into the golden age of air travel. The Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft, is another star attraction. Aeroscopia provides an interactive and educational experience by allowing visitors to wander through the interior of this giant. Walking through the spacious cabins and peering into the cockpit, one gains a profound understanding of the scale and complexity involved in creating such a colossal flying machine. The museum's presentation is both informative and engaging. Exhibits are accompanied by well-curated information boards, providing insights into the history and technological advancements that shaped these remarkable aircraft. The knowledgeable staff members are also readily available to answer questions, adding a personal touch to the overall experience. What sets Aeroscopia apart is its dedication to preserving aviation history. The attention to detail in maintaining and showcasing these aircraft is commendable. The pristine condition of the planes, coupled with the opportunity to go inside them, makes for an immersive and unforgettable visit. The museum's layout is user-friendly, with clear signage and thematic sections that cater to a diverse audience. Whether you're a seasoned aviation enthusiast or a family looking for an educational day out, Aeroscopia caters to all age groups with its varied exhibits and interactive displays.

A380: what a breathtaking airplane. Beautiful museum in Toulouse, my boyfriend and I are huge aviation geeks and flew to Toulouse just to see the Concorde and the A380. We’ve both flown on A380s and I can assure you that until you see it up close, you don’t grasp how MASSIVE it is. It’s our favorite airplane and it was such a great experience to walk around it in awe. The reason why I’m not rating it 5 stars.. is the gift shop. Please Aeroscopia, hear me out: WHY THERE IS SO LITTLE A380 MERCHANDISE? I’d argue that MOST people who come visit the museum are huge a380 fans, ready to spend A LOT of money on A380 related merchandise. Both me and my boyfriend left without buying anything, despite being ready to fork out even 100 euros each. No t-shirts, no caps, no bracelets, no posters, no magnets, nothing. And the a380 models you sell are… too small. I’m sure that if you sold bigger models there would be people forking out hundreds of euros.

The tickets are a reasonable price, as the museum displays planes throughout the ages. Furthermore, there are many child friendly spots which include activities ,such as designing a plane, and colouring. Overall, the unique display of aviation from the past present and future provides a pleasant experience of viewing and discovery. It also worth noting lots of information is provided about each and every aircraft. Many of the worlds aviating wonders such as the airbus A380 and the lightning quick Concorde are on the display with the option to go inside. Unfortunately, it is not an exact replica of the former planes but you are able to see the behind the scenes. As well as this you can see the possible renovations of planes and how people of the past flew. Throughout the tour there are many videos ,translated to English, that provide useful information as well as visually pleasing display of aircraft’s and airports.

Treat for Aerospace enthusiastic. Well organised museum with flights such as Airbus Concord, A320, A350,A380, A400M, Mirage fighter, DA Falcon F10, ..etc. Some of the aircrafts had a transparent shield which will allow to see the electronic routines inside the aircraft which was good. Usually they will charge 13 euros per person, if you are combining this visit with Airbus visit, then museum visit will cost 9 euros. I took Airbus XL tour with cost of 20Euros, but I could say it is not totally worth it. They took me to Airbus campus, but we were roaming and seeing only buildings where aircrafts will get assembled. Entered into Final Assemblh line of A320, but we were standing on watch tower for few minutes and went back to bus. As a summary I could say it is worth to see museum but not Airbus visit. Staff were co ordinating well, and speak English too, which makes tourist easier for communication.

Right after the Manatour bus tour to Airbus facilities, we went to this museum. For aviation enthusiasts, it’s a must visit. There is lots of information on early ideas and origins of human flights and how people conceptualized flying over the centuries. Inside there a lots of planes including the famous Concord and A300. You can go inside the planes but they have sealed everything. Overall a nice experience. We also went inside an A380 which was standing outside in the tarmac along with an ATR. We cannot enter ATR but can go inside A380 and it’s both decks. Again everything is sealed. There are information booths inside the museum to keep people/children occupied and know more about technology used in the planes. Overall I’d recommend visiting this museum with the bus tour of Airbus facilities. You’d also get a discount on museum ticket if you do both.

Quite a fun experience though no discovery tour to join without reservation two days in advance for non-eu passport holders. Enquired the staff but they also do not know why it takes extra time. There are various types of aircrafts with facts and the timeline showing how the industry is built. I am very grateful for living in the world that we can travel around so easily. Thank you to all who contribute in it. There are 2 aircrafts available to enter and you can see how spacious it was in the old days. Interested in a simulation game and it costs €4. However I don’t think i can remember the instructions given. There is a free game which is quite fun though :) Overall its a lovely museum but as someone who knows nothing about aviation it can be quite difficult especially not knowing what details you should look at and compare.
