The kids loved to go inside the pilot cabin. Also so much info about war world 2 and so many planes used during the wars

I loved seeing all these old fighters up close and personal and it's right next to Williamtown AFB so you can watch fighter jets take off and land which is a real experience if you haven't see this before. We managed to see 2 x F35s take off in the 90 minutes we were there.

Very friendly volunteers, knowledgeable and happy to give you tips on how to make the most of the place. There are two hangars with the newer planes in the entry hangar. There is also a viewing area and platform to allow you to watch aircraft taking off and landing. Great to spend an hour or two here.

Returning after many years was still a very good experience. Things have not changed much here since the last visit but that's what makes it great. The children are able to experience the place differently as they look at the detail and history of the planes. The cafe staff are very friendly and the facilities are clean and well maintained. It was good to be back!

This was a great experience. The facility includes multiple hangers with aircraft, posters and documentaries. It also had a viewing deck with a great and uninterrupted view of the runway used by both commercial planes and Air Force planes. There is a small cafe and a gift shop.

On the road between Newcastle and Nelson Bay there’s a slew of signboards about Fighterworld. So, we took a drive out from Nelson Bay to look at the museum. Closed. Only the café was open as of 27th October 2021. We could still look at the outside exhibits which only teased at what we missed inside. Checked the website and sure enough there was a note on the homepage that the museum is closed until 1 Nov. Suppose the moral of the story is to ignore any roadside signage and look online before travelling. Whilst we were outside, we did see one of the fighter jets taking off from at the airport however and that in itself made the trip worthwhile. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area for a proper visit.

Even if you are not all that intriguing in planes stopping for a look at all the military aviation history is really worthwhile. The aray of planes is fantastic from early days, and through the conflicts such as Korea, Vietnam and beyond with the F-111. The kids young or old (and dads) will love the chance to sit in the cockpit of a Mirage! Fun for all the family!

Great morning spent . Awesome seeing the planes take off and landing . Very interesting planes . Awesome to see them up close Great food at the cafe

It is worth stopping and visiting this museum:) Interesting to see the fighter jet planes for real and what does it look like at a closer look. My 10 year old son really loved it! Fu and educational with kids around:) We were also lucky to see an actual practice of jet planes in the sky at the look out:)

Visited on wet day with a toddler who loved seeing all the big planes and climbing up the stairs to view the cockpits. Great selection of historical aircraft and interesting information boards about the displays. Viewing platform over the airport to view planes a bonus. Cafe next door had good coffee. Gift shop was reasonably priced.

A really interesting afternoon for everyone, not just for the aviation enthusiast. Extensive displays and helpful staff. The food and service at the cafe was fantastic. You can opt to watch the RAAf planes land and take off from the viewing platform, or sit outside. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating with a complete view. Newcastle airport shares the runway with the RAAF so you can also see commercial aircraft too. The whole facility was also well organised and very Covid safe.

If you’re mad about aircraft or just have a passing interest this place is really interesting and the staff are very generous with their knowledge and time. Cafe does great coffee along with decent lunch.

Stopped in and had a look. We had a great time. While not huge it was still very entertaining. The viewing deck to watch the jets land was outstanding.

Popped in here while staying in Tea Gardens. Well worth the visit. My four Grandchildren were amazed, especially the two boys aged 11 and 12. Well presented displays, clean and well kept. You can feel the love from those who have obviously worked tirelessly to set this display up for everyone to enjoy. Well worth the money....

Lots of jets for viewing and lots of informative information on display over two hangers. Viewing platform overlooking Newcastle airport. Small gift shop with reasonably priced souvenirs. Felt it was a bit expensive for the amount of time spent there but the boys enjoyed themselves.
