Spitfires, tanks – a whole load of history, the Imperial War Museum Duxford (just outside of Cambridge city centre) offers an opportunity for the whole family to take a look back at the years of war and the air crafts and get an idea of what it was like for those who experienced it. With play parks, cafes and a wealth of information to read, it really is a place for all. I wasn\u2019t too sure on what to expect with taking two toddlers to the museum as they both wont comprehend the actual story of it all, however I knew they would love seeing the aircrafts and of course the park. Well, it turns out that our four-year-old was absolutely mesmerised and had a lot of questions to ask!<\/span><\/p>\n

When we arrived we were amazed at how big the museum is (even bigger when we got inside!), with a huge car park and easy to find entrance, we made our way straight in! <\/span><\/p>\n

We arrived at around 11am, so an hour after opening and there was practically no queue. After the ticket entrance, you walk through the gift shop (this is also the exit) and then out into the open space. We weren\u2019t sure which part to head to first as there is SO much to see\u2026 so a coffee stop it was! There\u2019s a few options for coffee stops and the food looked delicious. We took a picnic this time but next time I think I\u2019d at least get a cake there, if not a toastie!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n
