5.00My partner and I visited in early November 2025. The visitor experience was absolutely amazing. Every aspect of the centre, both inside and out, have been so carefully and thoughtfully considered. The open air features such as the statues and planted areas have all been designed with precision and are a fitting memorial to The Fallen. Our guided tour, conducted by Chris, was excellent. Well done and thank you to everyone involved.
An interesting and thought provoking memorial with great facilities

5.00I and two family members had the pleasure of visiting the International Bomber Command Centre at Lincoln yesterday and were extremely impressed with the whole experience. The talk delivered by your very knowledgable tour guide Barry Steele had lots of facts, interspersed with some humour, was excellent. We had the perfect morning kicking off with breakfast at the wonderful cafe. Thank you for all the obvious hard work and dedication put in by you all.
Well worth the visit ,showing how others payed the ultimate price for our freedom today.

3.00Although the exhibition is quite interesting it could have been more informative about the actual people involved . It only touched the surface and left us wanting more and was expensive for the content. The cafeteria was over priced with chaotic service , dogs should not be allowed in where food is served ,making us think the management is not up to the job. The carpark , being , chargeable is ridiculous as there is nowhere else to park .
Lovely visit and a place that makes you proud to be British!

5.00We had a wonderful day exploring bomber Command and finding out about the history of this wonderful RAF service men and women who served our country and rescued Europe from the nazi killing machine. We had a tour guy called Andrew who was very informative and highly knowledgeable about the history of of Bomber Command. I would strongly recommend taking the time to go on a tour with a guide, it really was eye-opening and Andrew really was fantastic! I have been before, and this time took my parents and they thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to anybody and I’m sure it’s a visit you will not regret.
A Poignant and Superbly Designed Memorial

5.00Visited as a group of RAF Halton Craft Apprentice as part of our 55th Year Reunion - and this could not have been any more fitting. We had a tour with our guide Peter Cunningham whose wide and deep knowledge provided us with an insight to the history leading to the formation, need and local build up of the RAF Commands as well as giving background to the dire position we found ourselves in those times. Peter highlighted, superbly, the subtleties of the memorials' design and key elements which we wouldn't have experienced if we had walked around unguided. The whole experience was poignant and moving and more than demonstrated the incredible bravery and fortitude of often very young but 'normal' men and women, many who sacrificed everything. So well worth visiting to further understand and remember the debt we owe to the amazing crews of the RAF's Bomber Command. Thank you Peter.
Absolutly amazing!
