Having just experienced flying a Spitfire simulator over rural areas of the UK and then New York City, I gained a deep appreciation for the pilots who flew these planes during WWII, demonstrating extraordinary skill and courage. The Stoke on Trent museum's simulator is a must-visit attraction for WWII enthusiasts. Furthermore, having undergone this simulation, I believe I could take control of a plane if the pilot were to become unwell on our next flight, such as the one to Spain 😂😂😂 Thank you Jim Milgate-Scarrott xxx
I've been going to this museum since I can remember. I went as a child, I went as a teenager, I went when my children were little and now with teenagers. I love this museum. I took my children and niece to make some clay chick's for easter, we got there and the lady gave us an example of the clay chick but said we can make what we liked. My children and niece got creative and make chick's, bunnies and a highland cow. We had such a lovely time. It doesn't matter how many times we go we always enjoy it! Lovely staff, clean facilities and just a very welcoming presence.
Really enjoyed the Museum and the food! So much to see and to Marvel at especially the Staffordshire Hoard and all the ceramics. And of course, the Spitfire!!
Fantastic museum, my first visit and impressed with how big is was, had a nice cafe too and gift shop. Even had a natural history area with lots of info and animal displays. Children trails available.
There is a good collection here and it's free to look around. They have ceramics dating back hundreds of years. Also the Anglo Saxon collection is very good. Called the Stafford hoard I believe. There is a natural science section which is great for kids. There are species of birds and mammals on display, bugs and insects too. When visiting I had to pay because I visited for the star wars exhibition. The Toys strike back. It was very good to view this collection because I actually had some of these toys when I was kid, Great fun. There is a gift shop and also cafe. The cafe is definitely worth visiting as it is Also part of a spitfire gallery. They have a flight simulator there so you can discover what it was like flying a spitfire way back when. As for parking there is a carpark just opposite the museum and it's£1.50 for 1 hour, £2.50 for 2 hours or £3.50 for 12hours.
