Aeropark Exhibits
The static aircraft that we have on display are all outside which gives a better viewing and photographic experience.
Internal viewing of the aircraft is made available subject to prevailing weather conditions and staffing and serviceability of aircraft.
Facilities
Accessible parking spaces are available in the car park directly next to the entrance gatehouse.
In addition to the aircraft on static display there are very popular viewing mounds where you can view the movements at the International East Midlands Airport, there are picnic tables on the viewing mounds and throughout the site.
Toilets (male/female/accessible) are located in Romney Hanger 1 as is our shop "The Aeropark Cabin" which includes catering for teas, coffees, cakes light snacks soft drinks and confectionery as well as a range of gifts, models and toys.
The Aeropark is accessible to all however open aircraft are not accessible by wheelchair or motor scooter or pushchair. The viewing mounds are grassed areas and therefore are subject to the prevailing weather conditions and therefore may be inaccessible to wheeled vehicles at times.
With the exception of assistance dogs (Guide Dog's etc.), dogs and other animals are not permitted in the Aeropark.
The use of kites and playing of ball games etc. are NOT allowed in the Aeropark due to the danger of these going on to the airport land and causing a hazard to aircraft landing or taking off.
The Aeropark is in a restricted red flight zone so the flying of drones of any sort is strictly forbidden.
Please retain your entrance ticket as proof of purchase as any member of the Aeropark staff can ask to see it at any time whilst you are on site for security reasons.
Enjoy your visit.
