What is the RAF Museum website?

Updated

rafmuseum.org.uk is the official website of the Royal Air Force Museum, a free-entry aircraft museum with two sites in England: one in London and one in the Midlands. It is the place to check before a visit, since it covers what each site offers, opening times, and how to support the museum.

What you'll find on the site

The museum presents itself as a family day out as much as an aviation attraction. According to the site, both locations offer:

  • Historic aircraft
  • Interactive exhibits
  • An outdoor playground
  • A full day of family activities

Entry is free at both sites, and the museum states it is open daily from 10.00am. Those two facts are the main practical details the homepage leads with, under the heading "Get ready for take off."

The two sites

Site What the site says
London One of two museum locations; free admission, open daily from 10.00am
Midlands The second location; free admission, open daily from 10.00am

The homepage treats them as parallel options rather than ranking one above the other, so the choice comes down to which region you can reach.

Beyond the visit

The site also functions as a donation and retail channel. It invites visitors to make a donation to help continue sharing the stories of the RAF, and points to an online shop whose purchases support the same goal. If you want to support the museum without visiting, those are the two routes the site offers.

Who it's for

  • Families looking for a free day out with children's activities
  • Aviation enthusiasts interested in historic aircraft
  • Anyone planning a trip who needs to confirm locations, opening hours, and cost before travelling

If you are deciding whether the museum is worth a visit, the site's own framing is straightforward: free entry, daily opening from 10.00am, two locations, and a mix of indoor exhibits and outdoor play.
