An amazing museum with so many exhibits to see and things to do. You can go on Concorde, drive a grand prix car simulator and so much more. There's the Bus Museum as well! Expect to be there for a good 3-4 hours.

Even better, buy membership. We’ve been going for years and the kids (now taller than us) still want to visit. One visit is not enough to see everything.
