Great day out from Limerick

Fascinating look at the beginnings of trans-Atlantic air travel, complete with a full-size replica of a Flying Boat. Don’t miss the view from the top floor. You don’t need a car to get there, as the bus from Limerick stops right out front.

A Museum you really have to visit.

Without doubt the most incredible, interesting and unexpected trip to a museum we have experienced.

Blown away

The interactive space was wonderful. I was blown away by how engaging all the aspects were especially for small children…this is not just for adults.
