New Playground at Cosford Air Museum ready for take off

Following months of closure, the RAF Museum Cosford is preparing to reopen its doors to visitors on Monday 17th May, with the addition of a brand-new family friendly outdoor interactive area. Families visiting the Museum will have the added excitement of an RAF themed playground to explore, along with huge hangars packed full of aircraft.

The Museum has used the closure period to complete work on the outdoor playground, designed to introduce its youngest visitors to the RAF, by inspiring and engaging with them through play. Children and young people who dream of becoming pilots and ground crew alike, can roleplay as they delve into the new bespoke airfield-inspired playground, complete with a mock control tower, mini hangar and even aircraft to climb onboard.

The new playground will offer an interactive RAF experience like no other, from physical training instructor stations, air traffic control, through to refuelling missions. Packed full of interactive activities including audio posts and playful information panels, children and young people can learn about the RAF while they play. Of course, no playground would be complete without a slide and climbing frame, these features have been incorporated into the bespoke Handley Page Victor.
