Aeroscopia Entry, Day Ticket

Aeroscopia sits beside the Airbus plant at Blagnac, holding two Concorde aircraft and the odd Super Guppy. A prebooked ticket saves the queue and covers the full collection of historic aircraft.

Overview

Aeroscopia sits in Blagnac, at the centre of Europe's largest aeronautical hub and a short hop from Toulouse. This ticket, sold by operator MANATOUR, is valid for one day and covers full access to the 7,000 m² exhibition hall and the entire collection of more than 40 full-size aircraft.

The museum traces over a century of flight, starting with Clément Ader's Eole and ending with the E-Fan, Airbus's electric prototype. In between stand commercial, military, leisure, scientific and experimental machines. Two Concorde jets, the Super Guppy, the A300B and the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft, are the headline exhibits. Visitors can climb aboard some of them, including the Super Guppy, a Concorde and the A300B, and take in the view from the belvedere. Military aircraft such as the F-104 Starfighter, F-8 Crusader, MiG-15 and Mirage IIIC complete the line-up.

The ticket suits families, school groups and aviation enthusiasts. Workshops, animations and events run year-round. Free visitor parking and free luggage storage are included, while audio-guide rental and a virtual reality flight simulator cost extra.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Boarding aircraft. The listing confirms you can climb aboard some of the machines, including the Super Guppy, a Concorde and the A300B. Reviewers said the planes you could see from the inside were a highlight.

• Luggage and extras. Free luggage storage is included, handy if you arrive with bags. Budget separately if you want the audio guide or the virtual reality flight simulator, as neither is in the ticket.

Common issues. One reviewer found parts of the experience outdated and expected more aircraft open for boarding and more interactive activities. The audio guide and the virtual reality flight simulator are not included and carry extra charges. No pickup or transport is provided, so visitors must arrange their own way to Blagnac.
