Emirates Aviation Experience Review

The museum was very small, although our son did enjoy sitting in the plane cockpit. There are a few interesting interactive bits but not a great deal. To be fair, the main experience is the cable car ride across the river, so don't worry too much about the museum bit at the end!

Great experience. Also check out the coffee and gift shop.

I might be spoiled but when someone claims "state of the art" simulator there should be more to it. First of all it does not crash... You may drive trough the trees and buildings, etc. secondly, it is very basic simulator. Indeed it has stick/yoke, rudder pedals, working throttle, flaps, landing gear level and speed brakes. The rest is fake. Organisers did not even bother to get real-looking panels that are easily available on the market. Therefore there is no autopilot, no ILS, no "state of the art" as far as I can see. However, if you have never flown in the aircraft cockpit as well as never seen X-plane or that fancy P3D , it is good experience to do with a family or on your own.

Small but interesting museum that was included in the price of the cable car ride. The lady in the cafe was very friendly and the food was good. Also has free wifi

A quick ride back and forth great! Later sightseeing and flight if someone willing in the Boeing simulator for an additional several dozen euros or sitting behind the controls of the dummy for free. Interesting impressions.

Really informative and good fun. Staff are super friendly

Interesting place. Was included in the price of Emirates Air Line.

Gives you an experience of the Emirates Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircrafts. There is a Rolls Royce aircraft engine model, seating and cockpit. It houses a flight simulator with realistic cockpit controls. You can pilot an A380 or 777 More

Good value as it's free to enter if you buy a cable car ticket but not worth it otherwise as it's quite small.

A great educational place for children special Emirates Emirates

Had a great time on the cable cars, thought the actual experience would of been bigger with a bigger shop but still enjoyed it.

This is my second time visiting and I've had really nice experiences! The staff is helpful and friendly and the facility is really clean. Really enjoyed the cable cars, it's roughly 10 minutes each way. The aviation museum is included when purchasing a round trip ticket on the cable cars and although it's quite small its perfect if you want to get to do more stuff in the city. Overall greatly enjoyed visiting!!

Okay, my review will be coming from someone that already has a pretty good insight of the aviation industry.

The simulators are very very basic, it does help the visitor gain a basic insight as to how big an actual cockpit is, it helps to understand some of the flight instruments on the panels and a feel of the steering yolk (or column). The distance of the pilot in command and first officer is very accurate.

Where Improvement are needed: it does not offer the visitor the feeling of wearing the three point seat belt that flight dedk crews wear, it does not offer headset for simulated air traffic control instructions. It does not vibrate during the course of flight and the jet engine sounds are very quiet. The place is fairly small and could do with a nice expansion.

Nice place for a tourist visit, great coffee, and by the tames river. After the cable car, you can have an aviation experience.

Fun and a good experience for young kids to have a go on a cockpit plane. Cinematic and fun for everyone. If you ride the cable car you will have a good bird's eye view of Central London

It was a wonderful view. Loves it. I only wish it was slower

What a great place to visit. Had a life long memorable experience.

A pleasant place to visit after going across the Thames. My son really enjoyed it. Didn't take long yo look round.

Clearly not meant as a viable mode of transport, but fun nonetheless.

Very good. Very interesting experience. Cose to the O2. Reasonably priced for London.

Well worth it! Tickets are reasonable, staff helpful and the actual experience is awesome. The way the cable cars work is very slick. If you want to save queuing time buy the tickets first.

after living the experience in the teleelectric contemplate at least 40 min to know how to operate, and what is behind a flight on the lines of Emirates

Amazing, my son loved seeing the skyline from the cable car.

My granddaughter asked to go on it again, as the first time she went on EAE was with her school.

I'm sure this isn't London's smallest museum, but in terms of square footage and number of exhibits it's got to be up there with the more bijou museums. The cockpit with all its buttons are intriguing and will interest curious people who like detail. The immersive video experience downstairs might be a bit full on for very young children. We didn't spend very long in here despite it being empty bar the staff.

I was disappointed. One is in a dismal dock area on the South side of the Thames, only to be transported to an even more dismal area on the north side where there is very little to do.
This should be in a more interesting place.
No wonder it seemed deserted when I went.
Not cheap either.Takes for ever to get here from central Londonby
public transportation.
There are so many interesting things to do in London, don't waste your time here.

Got to see what happens to our luggage once checked in.i enjoyed the emirate cable ride;it was an unforgettable experience in my trip to the UK

Every aviation enthusiast should visit here after taking a ride on the Emirates skyline

Short trip but great views over the Thames. Remember to show your train ticket for a reduced fare

The overall experience for me was good, this experience gives an insight knowledge about the 2 aircrafts B777 and A380.

The detailed layout structure is nice and bright and well presented with touch screens.

The simulator experience was fun but it could do with some improvement. Such as the feel of more controls, switches etc..

Very nice experience, reasonable price. I bought the 360 tour experience which gave me access to the Emirates aviation experience too. Cup of espresso at the end of the tour which was fairly good.

Great experience, children loved pilot cockpit photos

Much more entertaining than I thought it would be. Great for kids.

Nice to have experienced, but the ride was shorter than I thought

Quite small but a good break and sit down. Looked good if you booked the flight simulators. Kids enjoyed it.

A different angle to see from London...all the people who work there are very nice

Staff are brilliant, kids loved the exsperience. Something abit different or getting the kids ready for there first flight abroad.

Amazing experience. But you have to pre-book the simulators.

Fun experience. Only takes a few minutes to get round as small museum

I like going to Emirates Aviation because it best place to go.

Small but interesting exhibition suitable for both young and grown-up kids. Has got some really cool stuff, for example a cockpit where you can pretend to be the captain for a few minutes.

Kids and Adults with time to spend will enjoy this.

Fantastic London views

Friendly environment and super friendly staff.

Tickets are priced reasonably.

Just used cafe before going on cable car. Service terrible very slow for 2 teas and a coffee. Assistant thought we were invisible as she kept trying to serve everyone else but us

pure garbage, feel sorry for the staff as they know it doesn't work, only instrument that worked is the throttle, also better graphics on the sega mega drive.

The crossing and beautiful, very nice view, but nothing on arrival
