Activity Detail Page

Situated just off junction 21 of the M5, this is the only helicopter collection in the country and the largest in the world. Over 70 full size aircraft on display ranging form an impressive Russian gunship to a massive Super Frelon 36 seat helicopter, and from the Queen's own helicopters to the veterans of the Vietnam conflict. The museum also hosts regular "Helicopter Experiance Flights". During the 15 mile flight along the local coastline passengers get the opportunity to view Weston-Super-Mare and the surrounding countryside from a totally unique new angle and at the same time learn how rotorcraft work and fly via commentary from the experienced pilot. All flights take off and land from the museums very own active Heliport (where you can often observe visiting military and civil aircraft). Also on site: Cafe, Gift Shop, Themed Childrens' Play Area and Free Parking. Group bookings, Birthday Parties and Corporate Events catered for. Flight Prices are £26.50 plus museum entry. Flight dates are scheduled throughout the year.
