Visitor and Education Centre
Manchester Airport Visitor and Education Centre is also situated at the Aviation Viewing Park and is currently based in the forward section of a retired Monarch Airlines DC-10 wide bodied jet.

The centre has been converted into a state of the art 'aviation classroom' complete with seating, flightdeck and audio-visual kit. With a genuine 'on-board' feel, perfect for;

  • Educational visits - from reception children to GCSE and A level students. It is also possible to arrange for student groups to visit the Airport Terminals
  • Birthday party visits for children aged between 5 and 12 years can be arranged and we also have tours available for cubs, brownies, scouts, guides and holiday clubs.
