You are then led into the antechamber, and through into the main chamber. The final part of the museum contains replicas of the famous jewels including the legendary golden mask.

We bought a joint ticket for the teddy bear museum and dinosaur museum, this was the best of the 3. There was a half hour film telling you all about how the warriors were first discovered by farmers and all about the story of the empourer who first had them built. It was a small but very nice and interesting museum, I don't think any of the warriors on display are authentic but they're very good copies.

The kids are given a sheet where they have to hunt for hidden toy mouses. Hint take a small notepad and pencil for the kids to keep count. The videos showing the forte throughout the years as well as videos showing how it was nelected but saved and shows the progress of the restoration. Various displays as well as equipment are all there to see and to touch, as well as mock up of events all help to make the experience a enjoyable one.. The cafe that is situated inside does a lovely cream tea. Also does kids boxes as well a hot and cold meals. The prices you would think would be over the top but I was very shocked at the price as they are very cheap, and the food is lovely..

A very interesting assortment of fighters and bombers including Prototype #2 of the English Electric Lightning, the first Mach 2 fighter in the world.

I also noticed a shop near Salisbury Train Station that sold such model kits.

Really interesting volunteers all eager to talk about anything related to the aircraft , they ranged from a retired Vulcan pilot, retired ground crew to anoraks helping restore some of the planes! Virtually everything could be touched, played with, sat in so I think this would be a great place to take kids - although you'd need to keep a close eye on them as it is a little tricky scaling ladders and getting into some of the cockpits. I really puts a different view on many of the aircraft. We also got to have a go in the Link trainer at the end of the visit which was a good fun and I assume gives you some idea of what it is like to fly (I'm not a pilot). If you are an enthusiast of have kids I'd say it was a great way to spend a couple of hours if you are passing by!
