Airworld Aviation Museum — Attraction in Llandwrog

We visited Airworld Aviation Museum at Caernarfon as a family and had a brilliant time. The museum might look small from the outside, but inside it’s packed with history and interactive exhibits. The highlight for the kids was being able to climb into the cockpits of some of the planes, it really brought the displays to life and made it feel much more engaging than most museums.

There’s a great mix of aircraft, from vintage jets like the Hawker Hunter to helicopters and even a Harrier. My partner and I enjoyed reading about the RAF history of the site and the origins of the mountain rescue service, while the children were more than happy exploring and pretending to be pilots.

Staff and volunteers were friendly and happy to answer questions, which made the experience even better. Admission was very reasonable and we felt it offered excellent value for money as a family day out.

The only thing to note is that toilet facilities aren’t inside the museum itself – you need to use the café across the car park – but the café is a bonus in itself, with lovely views across the runway and good food options.

Overall, this is a fantastic little museum for families. Whether you’re into aviation or just looking for an affordable, engaging activity near Caernarfon, I’d highly...

One of the things I loved about this museum was that you were able to sit inside some of the aircraft, now this is not at all common anymore and I didn’t expect to be able to, to my surprise though most of the cockpits were open !!! My daughter loved climbing inside the aircraft and taking the controls of an actual aircraft (the first she has ever sat in!) after calming her down when then went to the Morse code station (which was possibly new…) and I sat there and taught her how to spell her name in Morse code. we moved around the museum and I was imparting my (very limited) knowledge and she was loving it taking in all of her surroundings and all of the interactive exhibitions.

Just before leaving we viewed the Dambusters tribute and then made our way out through the model room, my daughter's draw dropped when she saw how many models were in there and she even managed to name a few, then as we were leaving she spotted… The T.A.R.D.I.S (Time and Relative Dimension in Space for the uninitiated) from Dr Who!

We stopped briefly in the shop which had quite a lot of aviation themed gifts very fairly priced including some Corgi Aviation models which i absolutely love !

I've added two pictures one of me and one of my daughter sat in the same helicopter 20...

Airworld Aviation Museum at Caernarfon Airport is a unique, special museum offering a great insight into Britain's RAF plane / aviation history etc. There's lots to see and do here for such a well priced attraction and I particularly liked the RAF Rescue display, the small model planes, and other World War Two items of great interest. Thank-you. :) The shop and cafe, and toilet facilities were also very good. However the highlight for me is the actual location of the museum, on the very scenic and beautiful Llyn Peninsula, here in North Wales. Wonderful to visit on a sunny day! :) The museum is near enough accessible from at the end of the new Caernarfon by-pass, as you leave Caernarfon. Just be careful on the sometimes narrow approach roads leading up to the museum. I hope that you have a very nice time here, should you decide to visit....
