Aviodrome Lelystad

In Lelystad, just a short drive from Amsterdam, you'll find one of the most exciting aviation museums in Europe: Aviodrome. This interactive air and space museum is a true celebration of flight, offering a fascinating journey through more than a century of aviation history. With over 100 aircraft, themed exhibits, a large outdoor area, and plenty of hands-on experiences, Aviodrome is perfect for families, school groups, and aviation fans of all ages.

As soon as you enter the museum, you're greeted by a world of flying machines. From early biplanes and wartime fighters to helicopters and passenger jets, the collection spans decades of innovation. One of the top attractions is the massive Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. Visitors can explore this iconic aircraft inside and out, take a seat in the cockpit, and imagine what it’s like to soar above the clouds.

Children will find plenty to keep them busy. Interactive zones teach how airplanes work, what pilots do, and how airports operate. The outdoor playground has an aviation theme, and the 4D cinema offers an exhilarating virtual flight that engages all the senses. There are also scavenger hunts, guided tours, and live demonstrations that make learning fun.

Step outside and discover a reconstructed 1930s airport terminal, complete with vintage decor and details from the early days of commercial air travel. Surrounding hangars showcase historical aircraft, many of which are accessible to visitors. Some planes are still in flying condition and take part in special flight demonstrations on selected days.

Aviodrome also offers seasonal events, family workshops, and opportunities to take real sightseeing flights from nearby Lelystad Airport. Whether you’re watching a vintage aircraft take off or participating in a hands-on activity, every visit is memorable.
