Aerospace Bristol offers a fascinating and accessible journey through over 100 years of aviation history, celebrating Bristol’s world-leading role in aerospace innovation. The highlight of any visit is Concorde Alpha Foxtrot, the final Concorde ever built and flown, proudly displayed in its purpose-built hangar. Visitors can explore historic aircraft, helicopters and interactive exhibits, learn about the pioneers of flight, and enjoy hands-on displays designed to inspire visitors of all ages.
Accessibility is well considered throughout the museum, with level access from the car park to the entrance, galleries, Concorde hangar, café and outdoor areas. Lifts provide access between floors, and wide pathways make it easy to navigate with wheelchairs, mobility scooters or walking aids. While the Concorde aircraft itself has a narrow interior and limited access, dedicated viewing platforms, lifts and projection experiences allow visitors to fully appreciate this iconic aircraft.
Accessible toilets are available across the site, including a Changing Places facility, and seating is provided throughout the galleries for those who need to rest. Assistance dogs are welcome, and hearing loops, subtitles on videos, and staff trained in disability awareness and BSL help support visitors with sensory needs. Free wheelchairs are available to borrow, and accessible parking spaces are located close to the entrance.
Families will also enjoy the accessible outdoor play and picnic areas, with level paths and wheelchair-friendly seating. With its combination of historic aircraft, interactive exhibits and excellent accessibility, Aerospace Bristol provides an engaging and mobility friendly day out for visitors of all ages and abilities.
