This is an incredible museum and memorial to the bomber crews that flew from here during the war. Lots of interesting stories and artifacts and the volunteers that work there are enthusiastic and have an extraordinary knowledge of the history of the base. Couldn't recommend more highly. I've been multiple times and have a jumper too!

Would definitely recommend Africa Alive. The park has a great collection of animals and a clean environment. Highlights included the Amazing African Animal show and the lemur walk through which both enable you to get up close and personal with the animals. I Recommend bringing your own food as there are limited facilities for eating and not a great range of options for gluten free.

We came here with my 4 year old and 4 month old and our dog :) this is such a lovely place and you really get a sense that the workers here love what they do. Upon entry the greeting we received was lovely and welcoming. I asked if we could bring our dog in and were informed that the location was very dog friendly with lots of fresh water dotted around. The teams and displays are so well looked after and you really get a sense of the history of the vehicles. My son went on the little train and the driver made his day by allowing him to sit in the drivers seat. The place is run by volunteers and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The gentleman who served is in the little cafe was jolly and very friendly. I fully urge people to visit and keep this location going, it’s a tiny piece of history that is kept alive by amazing people.

Christchurch Park

Reviewed By RodF143 - Ipswich, United Kingdom

This park is certainly a Jewell, it is a wonderful open space in the centre of Ipswich. The arboretum is well tended and full of lovely shrubs, flowers and magnificent trees; squirrels that are quite tame are in abundance and a variety of birdlife; the outside tennis courts that are nestled in the trees are well utilised. The large ponds with their many species is of wildfowl and if you are lucky you may see one of the many turtles or terrapins that frequent the wilderness pond, that's if the commorant sitting high up in the tree at the edge hasn't picked them off. To cap it all, the highlight of the park, that is the Christchurch Mansion, free to all to roam and see it's many displays of art and artifacts, and indeed I was very fortunate to see Rodin's sculpture "The Kiss" on the day I visited. The park was bustling with people of all ages and backgrounds. What a joy.

Step back in time and look with wonder through Victorian Eyes. a purpose built museum from the mid Victorian era with stuffed animals, egyptian mummys, and fossils from far and wide. Lots of workshops for families and young children. Close to Christchrch Park with Christchurch Mansion.
