Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre — Attraction in East Lindsey

What a fantastic place; a brilliant way to spend a good few hours! There is so much to see and learn, and it's run entirely by volunteers who are friendly, passionate and ready to share their knowledge. I visited with my husband and our 7 year son, who was fascinated by it all. It's definitely worth checking the opening hours before you go, as it only opens Sundays and Wednesdays to work around the volunteers.

Highlights were trying out Morse code, seeing the bomb shelters, the Lancaster Bomber (look for the photo of the dog!) and of course riding around the camp in one of the old jeeps.

We were very glad of the Spitfire Tearoom, where we stopped halfway round for a rest - it's simple but just what you need and very fitting with the surroundings - a lovely slice of cake with a cup of tea.

There is also a fab welcome pack for children with colouring and activities, as well as quiz to do as you go round, which made it fun looking for the answers. They also do different quiz levels (we did Bronze) which is a great incentive to go back! I found out after that my Grandad had helped build one the radars on display there, so must go back again to find it. Thank you for a lovely afternoon, and we look forward...

Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre is good to browse in a day but to really take in all the exhibits you need two days as there is sooo much to see. Part of RAF Woodhall Spa, the camp is the WWII Communal Area, whereas the bomber crews were based on the aerodrome at Woodhall Spa itself . From this base the Dambusters 617 Squadron flew off on the Dams raid and attacked at least 3 German dams over the Ruhr using the Barnes Wallace Bouncing Bomb. Amongst the squadrons at Woodhall Spa were 97, 619, 617 and 627 Squadrons. WWI, WWII and other era's are represented here at the camp. Here they have a complete WWII Link Trainer Simulator which is awesome. There is a Memorial on site, inside the grounds and at the entrance to the camp. There is sooo much to say that the best thing to do is just visit here and see for yourself.

My personal rating for Thorpe Camp is 10/10 and since this review was written over 2 months ago, I also award Thorpe Camp my Gold Star for Excellence.

I attended and has a great time, and was offered to take part in a Easter Egg hunt with my 4 year old where we had to find the letters,then create a phrase. Sadly I struggle reading and writing and approached.the lady at the cafe (The Egg Keeper) With all the letters but one where I was unable to get the correct word..I had a go at what I thought it was and she said no, looked at my like ### and not willing to help me so I had to pull my boy away from the Chocolate Eggs and say Sadly you can not have one..when every child was getting one..clearly their parents had a better education than me.

There was a people behind and I felt so embarrassed

Real shame as this ruined our day where I love WW2 History and enjoy paying my...
