Visited here as part of the Inspire 26 ride out. Fantastic place and really friendly staff. The guides are super knowledgable and it is well worth engaging with them. Very poignant to see the numbers lost and the very young age of most of them. An incredible responsibility on such young shoulders. If you are in the area well worth a visit. The Lancaster " On Freedoms Wings" is only a short drive away and worth a stop.

A really interesting place that I thought gave a really good idea of what life was like during WW2 for people from all walks of life during that period not just the members of bomber command. As for the pilots and crew and the thousands who supported them you got a real sense of how they were all just people who dug in and pressed on under extreme circumstances in order to hopefully preserve the freedom of our country. - The facilities at the museum are excellent. The toilets are clean and well maintained. The cafe/restaurant was fantastic, so clean that it looked as though it had only been in operation for a few days rather than a few years. Their are plenty of food choices and what I ordered was delicious and piping hot when it arrived at my table. All the staff throughout the building were fantastic, friendly and helpful. I would however say it's not really a place for children below teenager years because much of the information is presented as large swathes of text needing to be read and not so many artifacts to look at, although their are a few video presentations to be watched that they would hopefully find engaging.

Great few hours here. We had it gifted to us from family. It included an organised tour of the site, the exhibition inside and an afternoon tea. The tour was very informative and thought provoking. The exhibition was small but everything explained. If this subject interests you then I would definitely recommend it

I spent a full day at the IBCC in May and loved every minute of it. The modern building is a testament to excellent design with its position overlooking Lincoln Cathedral. A volunteer guided tour of the centre including the excellent gardens emphasised the history of RAF Bomber Command, and the significance of the 31m tall spire, as well as the monuments and the geopositioned lime trees. I enjoyed the cafeteria very much, and had the best ham, egg and chips ever! Attention to detail is a feature of the IBCC, with classic wartime music being played in the background, with the occasional sound of a Lancaster’s four engines to remind you of the aviation heritage of Bomber Command. So to the centrepiece of the centre, over two floors, the ground floor has two huge screens putting the role of Bomber Command in the context of World War Two. One memorable display involves seven digital display screens, allocated to each of the aircrew in a Lancaster. Their role in a bombing mission is recreated skilfully on screen. A timeline of a single bombing mission flows around the room, describing the acts that took place before, during and after a raid. Life sized video screens showed interviews given by actors dressed in character portraying their role, whether air crew, ground crew, or WAAF. The display of artefacts such as a log book, and a collection of musical instruments (!) was superb. Overall my visit was extremely uplifting and reminded me just how young so many of the air crew were who gave their lives for the greater good. A big thank you to the IBCC archivist Peter Jones, who gave so generously of his time to go through my late father’s log book, and ensured that it was digitised, adding to the excellent IBCC’s online archive. Put simply, a day I will never forget.

Great visitor experience whether you enter the exhibition or not. Humbling place for reflection and great views too. Added bonus of the cafe serving amazing food and great value for money. Exhibition , parking and food/drink does make it a very expensive visit (£50 for me and my dad) should be concessions for those paying for exhibition entry too. Will revisit for entry of grounds and cafe only
