Aviodrome: aviation on the ground, up close

In Lelystad, aircraft, simulators and a 4D theatre are set around the development of aviation, with a Boeing 747 you can go inside as a major anchor.

Inside the 747

The Boeing 747-206 PH-BUK lets you experience the cabin and its scale. Look at the seating layout, doors and technology, but bear in mind the stairs and limited wheelchair access.

Flying without taking off

Simulators translate control into actions. Compare the instruments, view and feedback with a real cockpit, and follow the safety instructions on age or height.

Film and collection

The 4D theatre offers an experience, while objects and aircraft provide evidence. Use the spectacle as an entry point, then read the type, function and origin of an aircraft part.

Before you go

The venue is largely wheelchair-friendly, but cabins and some aircraft require stairs. Monday opening depends on the season and school holidays.
