If you don't want to pay parking , there's a bus for £2.50 return from Wilmslow Station. Drops off at visitor park .

Was expecting to see the plane above us. But nope! Could only see planes take off and touch down from the side. went during aviation weekend, more things to see especially for aviation enthusiasts!

The second mound to the right near the Nimrod is the best for photography .

Great place to introduce fearful flyers to airports and planes .

Beware the parking fee! We didn't notice £3.00 per hour, and despite spending over £30 there, still had a £12 parking ticket to pay!

Check flight schedules are visit when there is an A380 due to take off.

Take you own lunch , food in restaurant isn't the best.

Terrible on-site signage. Turns out that the toilets are in a portakabin hidden behind the conference centre, and to pay for parking it's card only at reception, or cash on exit.

Bloody awful information and management. Ruined my day, and cost me significantly when I had to cancel plans. Might be a good place for taking photos from but don't trust them for events :(

Do an afternoon at the Runway Visitor Centre at Manchester Airport .

£3.40 for 2 bottle of water is a complete rip off. Fun day but profiteering ruins the experience
