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 on our Special Event Days and occasionally at other times during normal opening hours subject to staffing and serviceability.
Facilities
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/disabled) are located in Romney Hanger 1 as is a shop (Opening not guaranteed due to volunteer availability) which includes catering for tea, coffee, light snacks soft drinks and confectionery as well as a range of gifts, models and toys.
All facilities with the exception of the viewing mounds are suitable for the disabled and children in pushchairs. The viewing mounds are grassed areas and therefore are subject to the prevailing weather 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 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.
