I got a deal off Living Social for this place and took a few of my friends. I did the Red Bull simulation as well as the 737 landing. The Red Bull one is rather like just computer game. It would be great to have at home but it is more like a game than simulation. However, the 737 was... More

We Visited the Atlantic Airventure Centre with our scouts for a day. Jane and Eddie thought us, in such an engaging way, about how planes take off, stay in the air and land safely. Then we moved on to flying the flight simulators which was great fun. To top the day off we all had a go at landing a... More

We recently visited the Limerick area and whilst looking for somewhere dry to go we found the Atlantic Airventure. We called in without booking and asked if we could try the small 2 seater sims. Jane explained very well the basics of powered flight to my 10 year old son. He was then allowed to take off and fly a... More

Spent an hour with Tomas in the 737 sim today and it was absolutely fantastic. We flew from Dublin to Shannon, then a different approach to Shannon with a touch and go, an engine failure on climb out and emeergency landing back to home base. The realism of the cockpit is amazing, it was a very enjoyable experience and I... More

Given a voucher as a present by the offspring. Finally got around to venturing down from Dublin ( stayed in the Old Ground Ennis overnight ). Met and welcomed enthusiastically.Brought into the 737 simulator and given a comprehensive and easy to understand briefing, sufficient for my total lack of experience. The hour of one takeoff, enroute maneuvering and three landings... More
