  • A great tour today with a fantastic guide Ray MBE at the Ulster Aviation Museum. Definitely Northern Ireland's best kept secret. Do yourself a favour and put a note in your diary for next March...

  • My husband, a private pilot, and I try and catch aviation museums in all of our travels. (We are from the USA) It was recommended that we try the Ulster Aviation Society while we were in Ireland...

  • I visited the Ulster Aviation Society yesterday with my wife and two kids. Alan was our tour guide for the morning. Alan and his colleagues are obviously aviation addicts! Their passion for all the aircraft and their knowledge of the associated events were amazing. You can’t help your jaw dropping with the magnificent displays when you walk in. You can walk around the aircraft and climb into most of the aircraft. My son is a massive fav of the Phantom F4. He was delighted to see it on display. Very informative and would visit again.
  • Excellent afternoon. I didn't realise you needed to book so make sure you do that via their web site. However, one of their volunteers kindly agreed to give us a personal tour. My fourteen year old son loved it. Especially being able to sit in an ex Royal Navy Phantom jet!
  • What an amazing and super interesting museum!! We had the privilege of being shown around by the Chairman himself, who is so knowledgeable about the details and stories related to each and every plane. We were totally enthralled and utterly delighted by this gem of a museum. A MUST SEE!!😍❤️
  • A brilliant museum to come visit if you're into aviation, particularly military. This is a charity organisation and rely heavily on donations. You have to pre-book before coming. I emailed and got a reply within the hour, despite the out of office alert. All the planes and helicopters we saw we're all once working. Many are restored and go on displays. Alex our guide was full of knowledge and very passionate, as so we're all the other volunteers. Theres no set time with the tour but I'd say a minimum 90mins. We were here for over 2hrs. We were fascinated with the stories, asked loads of questions and took plenty of photos. As well as the planes the tour includes the development of the ejection seat, pilot uniforms and a room dedicated to Czechoslovakia. The society is regularly approached by TV and Film studios. Pierce Brosnan recently visited and signed a helmet!! See my pictures. Highly recommend this visit. Gate 3, 94-b Halftown Road, LISBURN, BT27 5RF.

  • WOW!!! What a place, absolutely amazing. Brought my parents here who were visiting from the states. Wonderful Ricky gave us a tour, he was such a great guide, highly appreciated him, and the time he took to show us around. I can't reccomend this place enough to be honest with you, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you again!! ~Daisy, Brent,Virgil & Isabela (USA, Romania & Dublin)
