Very cool planes and a lot of information about them. Cafe and gift shop at entrance. Needs pass which you need to acquire at the start, simple process. Very friendly staff, no complaints about anything really. Very nice hangers and wow these planes are huge compared to what they look like in the air. I took some photos to show the inside of the heritage centre.

It was a work visit with clients for me. The process was very simple and the staff were very helpful. We were fully escorted to the museum. Security was top notch. The guide volunteers were very kind and helpful. There were lots of information available and much from world war. Besides, I believe that the sheds aren’t very appropriate infrastructure for such preservation of historic antiques. There needs to be stable permanent structures. The lighting was poor. This place won’t be much of wonder if there is rain or storm during the visit. The sheds needs to have rain cover walkway to make it more weather friendly. The cafe was closed. We couldn’t eat anything inside because of that. Can’t blame on that as it was a weekday.

Plenty of aircraft to check out, from planes to helicopters. During weekdays you'll have a better chance to see military aircraft operate, whereas weekends you'd be lucky to see any. It's free, but donations are welcome. Onsite mini Cafe with hotdogs and chips. The length of wait just refers to the visitor induction. Wait times aren't really a thing here

Absolutely brilliant! Really well done to the RAAF for putting this all together. Everyone was so friendly and hospitable. Plus all personnel were so engaged and eager to share stories and give an interesting background on all the various exhibits. Definitely recommend this for everyone young and old. Just remember to use the "South Amberley Rd" gate as Google took us to another one.

What a wonderful place. So many beautiful aircraft displays and the staff were so informative. We watched the F111 fire video which was quite well done. If you are interested in aircraft, this museum is well worth the effort.

I was on a work visit with clients, and the entire process was remarkably straightforward, thanks to the exceptionally helpful staff. Our visit to the museum was accompanied by a full escort, and I must commend the top-notch security measures in place. The guide volunteers were truly kind and informative, offering a wealth of information, particularly about the World War era artifacts. However, it's worth noting that the storage sheds, which currently house these historic antiques, might not be the most suitable infrastructure for their preservation. Stable permanent structures could better safeguard these treasures. One aspect that could use improvement is the lighting within the sheds. In case of inclement weather, such as rain or storms during the visit, the lack of rain cover walkways could potentially hinder the experience. Regrettably, the cafe was closed during our visit, which prevented us from enjoying a meal inside. Understandably, this was a weekday, so it's not something to fault the museum for.

An excellent aviation collection relating to the RAAF, well worth a visit. However, it is only open on the 3rd Sunday of the month and due to being located on an active RAAF base security restrictions apply, you can only apply to visit by using the online system. but worth the effort

A bit of a process performing the induction but understandable and highly worth the effort, because the personal tour conducted by the friendly and knowledgeable staff/volunteers is very informative/interesting. The aircraft and information on display is fantastic.
