Classic Flyers Aviation Museum & Cafe — Restaurant in North Island

Classic Flyers NZ is an absolute gem for the entire family! We had an amazing day exploring the fascinating collection of airplanes and engaging in a variety of activities. The kids were thrilled with the hands-on exhibits and interactive displays, and the fire truck ride was a definite highlight—completely amazing! The cherry on top was the incredible water blast welcome from the Tauranga Airport's $2,000,000 Fire Truck, which was an unforgettable experience.

The café offers delicious food, perfect for a break between all the fun activities. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall fantastic experience. Classic Flyers NZ is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fun and educational day out. Highly...

Not just for people who choose not to eat a certain food, but most importantly for people who are actually allergic to foods as the consequences...

I dropped a ⭐️ for not displaying enough info on Jean Batten. An amazingly courageous woman and a huge inspiration - in the museum she was dedicated an itsy bitsy A4 and tucked away in a corner. I’m sorry but that’s not good enough considering your museum is located on Jean Batten Drive! There’s so much more on her life and my teenage daughter and myself would like to have seen her given as much credit as all the men in the museum! Many many women played a huge part in the war effort but hardly a mention-...
