Located in Blagnac, a few minutes from Toulouse, the Aeroscopia museum is a place of memory and life that traces the history and missions of aviation: commercial, tourism and leisure, military, scientific or even experimental. Embark without further delay, alone, with family or friends, on this aeronautical adventure full of surprises and activities for everyone!
aeroscopia and its unique collections
A true aviation museum, aeroscopia lists no fewer than 40 aircraft in its XXL hall and on its tarmacs. Find the A380, the A400M, the Transall, the Concorde Fox Charlie, the Super Guppy, the Gazelle, the X-Wing... So many legends of the sky to discover on this exceptional site located a few minutes from the city center of Toulouse.
A few steps away, take a break at the aeroscopia restaurant: a flight of flavors direct from the Ferme de Pinot. Then, extend this moment of aeronautical history by pushing open the door of Ailes Anciennes, a real workshop for restoring aircraft or by embarking on a tour of the assembly plants of the European aircraft manufacturer: Airbus.

… And themed stopovers
These themed stopovers are free events planned throughout the year, mainly on Wednesdays, weekends and during school holidays. Lasting around 20 minutes, they allow all those who are curious to learn more (particularly on the scientific aspect) about flying in Concorde, the underside of the A380, the Super Guppy or even the challenges of electric and military aviation.
VR flight simulator: in the shoes of a pilot
This is the unmissable VR experience that was launched in February 2024: aboard an Extra 300*, an aerobatic plane with remarkable performance, the most daredevils can now fly over the Ville Rose and its surroundings, alone or accompanied by up to 5 people (all equipped with seats and interconnected virtual reality headsets)! Accompanied by the chief pilot Fanny Viallard (French aerobatics champion) and a flight instructor, all you have to do is take the controls for an unforgettable 30-minute journey.
