点评:Brilliant museum. Full of exhibits, information, interactive elements and knowledgeable staff/ volunteers. The museum is an shining example of how something can be informative, fun and well-run for a very small overall cost. We booked in advance so everything was really easy on the day - it was free entry with a £6.50 parking charge on line. We also paid for an advanced 4-token package for the virtual reality experience and saved again on the price (£14.40 for 4 tokens - this meant we could have 2 experiences each and saved over £5 compared with on the day prices). The VR experiences we chose were the Dambusters flight and RAF Duxford Spitfire flight - both were brilliant and we'd definitely recommend these. There is so much to see and read that you need at least 3 to 4 hours (if not longer) to really do it justice. We were there just over 4 hours but unfortunately had to cut short our time due to another engagement - we could have stayed a lot longer than we did and the time flew by (no pun intended!). There is also a RAF themed playground for smaller children and a cafe area serving basic lunch items, cakes, hot and cold drinks. The visitor shop is in hangar 2 and has a lot in it - I would have liked to also see a smaller range of those items on sale in the entrance/ cafe too in case you miss them. I also really liked all the thanks and 'nods' given to various volunteers that help run the place including ex-servicemen and women and the community based information that's displayed. It showed how embedded the RAF/ museum is in Cosford.
翻译:很棒的博物馆。展品丰富,信息丰富,互动元素丰富,工作人员/志愿者知识渊博。博物馆是一个很好的例子,它展示了如何以非常低的总成本提供信息、乐趣和良好的运作。我们提前预订了,所以当天一切都很方便——免费入场,在线停车费为 6.50 英镑。我们还为虚拟现实体验支付了 4 个代币的高级套餐,再次节省了价格(4 个代币 14.40 英镑——这意味着我们可以各体验 2 次,与当天价格相比节省了 5 英镑以上)。我们选择的 VR 体验是 Dambusters 飞行和 RAF Duxford Spitfire 飞行——两者都很棒,我们绝对会推荐这些。有太多东西可以看和读,你需要至少 3 到 4 个小时(甚至更长)才能真正体会到。我们在那里待了 4 个多小时,但不幸的是,由于另一个约会,我们不得不缩短我们的时间——我们本来可以待更长时间,时间过得很快(没有双关语的意思!)。还有一个以皇家空军为主题的游乐场,供小孩子玩耍,还有一个咖啡区,供应基本的午餐、蛋糕、冷热饮品。游客商店位于 2 号机库,里面有很多东西——我本来希望在入口/咖啡馆也能看到一些小范围的商品出售,以防你错过。我也非常喜欢所有对帮助管理这个地方的各种志愿者(包括退伍军人)的感谢和“点头”,以及展示的社区信息。它展示了皇家空军/博物馆在科斯福德的根基。
