The British Airways Concorde is open for private guided tours and is available daily; however, the visitors can view the outside of the aircraft at any time. Click here for more information.

Growler is subject to close one hour prior to the Museum closing.

Beginning July 1st, the Concorde will be temporarily relocated offsite for necessary maintenance. The experience and exhibit will re-open to the public in Spring 2024.

No, group reservations must be paid in full two weeks prior to your visit. Bookings within two weeks are acceptable, with payment due upon booking. 

There are two dining facilities on the complex: one on the Mess Desk level of Intrepid (where the crew would dine) and one on the second level of our Welcome Center. For your convenience, we offer pre-arranged boxed lunches, which include a sandwich, beverage and snacks—please ask your Group Sales Representative for options and pricing. If your group purchases a lunch package, we can reserve seating in our Mess Deck.

You are welcome to bring a "brown bag" style lunch on board; seating is on a first-come, first served basis. You are not permitted to bring picnic baskets, catered foods (including platters) or alcohol beverages. Food must be eaten in the Mess Deck area or outside on our park-like pier.
