Very interesting and informative visit to the Flying Boat museum. I wasn't keen on going but my husband was and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had no idea about the history of the planes but the exhibition was very well done and even had a mock up of the inside of a flying boat you could go in.. Maureen O Hara married the pilot and there was too much devoted to her but otherwise very good. The area and scenery on the Shannon is interesting too.

We found this museum to be so interesting in recalling the Flying Boat era. There's a video in addition to all of the exhibits inside. One large exhibit pays tribute to Maureen O'Hara who was married to one of the first flying boat pilots. The highlight of the museum is the full-size replica of a Boeing 314 Flying Boat. It's interior ceiling height is amazing! You can go up to the top floor of the building, which is where the original control tower was located, and look out into the bay where the planes landed. There is a gift shop and a lovely cafe area, both near the entrance. Parking is free just outside.

Well worth a visit - especially the Maureen O’Hara section. The memorabilia and overall presentation is top class. As a movie lover I really enjoyed it.
I’m sure Cong are jealous. Unfortunately they haven’t a museum like this.
The Aviation part was really interesting and I particularly enjoyed going around the “Yankee Clipper” .
Great value for money.

10 of us paid a visit to the Flying Boat Museum - today 01/01/2023 - and it was wonderful. Adela was our Guide and not only was she knowledgeable but had an excellent way of telling us about air travel.
We also eat there and I had an excellent Toasted sandwich and a generous cup of coffee. After the guided tour, Adela showed us how to make an Irish Coffee. Many thanks Adela, Julie and all the wonderful catering Ladies for a memorable experience.

Well worth a visit if you have the slightest interest in aviation history. The replica Boeing 314 is worth the visits alone not to mention the fabulous Maureen o Hara memorabilia. Highly recommend.

A wonderful multifaceted opportunity for the entire family to explore the history of Foynes – an important corner of Co. Limerick. This recently expanded and updated museum is a fun and interesting way to spend a morning or afternoon in West Limerick. It has something for everybody of all ages. It is officially called the Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum and the title should be expanded to include a reference to it wonderful exhibit featuring film star Maureen O’Hara who was actively involved in the establishment of the museum. After walking through one of the best museum exhibits I’ve seen about the flying boats you are treated to an exhibit based on Maureen O’Hara’s life. The exhibit is really for movie buffs because Maureen O’Hara’s life encompasses decades of films and roles that include an amazing array of famous American actors. Then, you can actually walk through a replica of the awe inspiring Pan American Yankee Clipper which is the only one in the world. You will be amazed at the size and sheer spaciousness this airship afforded for its’ few lucky passengers that included movie stars, U.S. Presidents and the ultra-wealthy. But do not miss two wonderful opportunities after, or before, your visit. First, a meal at O’Reagan’s Restaurant in an informal café atmosphere. They have gluten free options too. And, an Irish Coffee. If you can you should take advantage of the Irish Coffee center where you learn the history and actual taste of the wonderful drink. After all Irish Coffee was invented in the very building.

We were greeted with delicious hot scones (a group of 50 ladies) and tea or coffee excellent friendly and efficient staff. We then proceeded to the tour which was fantastic. The Maureen O'Hara collection is beautifully displayed. The flying boat brilliant. A great morning was had by all.

We took a day trip to the Flying Boat Museum. Everyone enjoy the a drink in the Cafe. Then off to the Museum. Natalie was full of good advise on how to navigate the museum for the best experience. And after, while making our Irish Coffee, she continued to entertain us with more stories of the Flying Boats and Maureen O"Hara. We highly recommend taking this tour.

A little out of the way but a wonder with the only Boeing Clipper in the world. You can tour the entire plane and spend ages in the museum 's collection. The history of trans Atlantic passenger flying here is amazing. It is also where Irish Coffee was invented. Make sure you have one

Museum is amazing. Well set out and so interesting from start to finish. Clients were absolutely delighted with their time in the museum and the interaction with all the staff. Loved the Irish Coffee presentation by Natalie and really enjoyed their Irish Coffees after
