VISIT HANGARS
Important Notes to the Public hoping to visit us:
-
All applications should be made at least 2 weeks prior to your visit date.
-
Please note that family visits are only usually available between March and October. We are normally closed to any visitors between November~February due to winter conditions (as the hangars are extremely "baltic" cold during winter months).

You can either come along and walk around the Collections yourselves, or an even cooler way is with a Volunteer Tour Guide.
Volunteer Tour Guides generously offer their time to show you around and tell you stories about the aircraft collection. To guarantee a Guide for your visit, please book your tour slot in advance via E-mail.

Tours are ideal for families or small groups up to 10 people. For larger groups of 11 to 40 people, please contact us for special arrangements.
