Traveler reviews
Wonderful museum and one more item off the bucket list.
I have been meaning to visit for years. The museum is well laid out and is a wonderful experience. A trip down memory lane for anyone interested in that period of history. Just slightly disappointed that the simulators didn't appear to be working but that didn't detract from our overall enjoyment and I have just purchased the relevant addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator so that I can try to fly the Yankee Clipper on my home setup.
Imersive experience
Great museum. An overlooked chapter of aviation history. Great displays and memorabilia. The star of experience was the full scale plane.Being allowed to board the exhibit was unique and gave a true perspective.
We visited the museum, our favourite part was the movie theatre on site and the real life replica of the Boeing 314.
We had a fantastic visit to the Foynes Flying Boat Museum. The staff in both the museum and the restaurant were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The museum offers a unique and fascinating experience, with plenty to see and do for visitors of all ages. It’s an engaging attraction that combines history, interactive exhibits, and great hospitality. Highly recommended!
Great little museum
Brilliant little Museum. Spent nearly 2 hours going around the building. Thoroughly enjoyable time well spent here . Well worth paying a visit.
A museum not to be missed
What a great place to visit. The Foynes flying boat Museum is a great place to visit. It was very informative, with a lovely guide and also AI. It's so nice to see so many items saved from the past from a passport, menu to the original uniform. You can even go inside a remake of the clipper. It is so spacious compared to todays planes and the seats were surprisingly comfortable, even though they do not look it! Climb up into the cockpit and see the pilots view. There is also a section devoted to Maureen O'Hara. Finish your trip with a wonderful Irish coffee, with or without the whiskey!
