We are open every day of the year apart from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day. We recommend that you take three or four hours over your visit to appreciate the Museum exhibits, the aircraft and vehicle displays that make up this historically accurate RAF Bomber Base.

We are currently in summer mode and so the museum opening times are 10:00-17:00, last admission 16:00.

Before visiting the museum and especially during bad weather, we strongly advise you to check our website and social media channels, to make sure the site is open for visitors. There will be regular updates on these platforms.

We’re located on the eastern outskirts of the city of York. The postcode for your sat nav is YO41 4AU.

Travelling from A1/M1 or A19 – head towards York, then as you approach the York Outer Bypass /A64, follow the National brown Air Museum signs around the bypass toward the A1079 (Hull) junction. Follow the signs to the Air Museum along the B1228 along Elvington Lane – 2 miles. EASY!
