One of the Best Places To Visits in Dax Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. A large museum set in two hangars containing 30 helicopters of many types. This was on my list of 'Must see' places and was not disappionted. If you ask an official they will let you sit in some for a photo'. Too many photo's to post. Large parking area outside. Even if you aren't specially interested in helicopters this is a very good afternoon out. It's an excellent presentation, with a guided tour available, which I strongly recommend. There is a short film to start, then the small exhibits, then a hangar full of some most impressive aircraft. You don't need to wait until it rains, go anyway as you won't regret it. Entirely run by volunteers, who are passionate about what they are doing. Very interesting and well done. There is an entry video and self-guided tour in English. Some of the machines are truly impressive. I brought my 11 year old son here. The exhibition is great. Lots of historical exhibits and two hangars full of aircraft. There is a gazelle heli which has a flight simulator in it. I asked if my son could try it but there was nobody to operate it. I think some more interactive exhibits would be great, such as a helicopter which can be sat in and 'operated'. Some bilingual signage would be useful too. Due to the lack of interactive displays my son wasn't too interested in this museum and as a result I had to hurry along which was a pity. This museum is well presented and very impressive. Very nice but small museum. The helicopters and planes are stationed in two separate hangars. Interesting collection of helicopters and small planes. Great to discover the beginning of helicopters ! They shut down the museum without any notice. Very inconvenient.
