School Tours at Shannon Aviation Museum

Aviation is a fascinating subject and children are especially curious about the wonders of flight. Our primary school tours are designed to introduce school students to the science behind flight in a fun ‘hands on, minds on’ format. Student’s will learn about the four forces acting on an airplane in flight and how airplanes are flown and controlled.

Now it’s time to test those theories during a simulated flying lesson with a real world pilot. Teams of two students work together to navigate a course around New York, with a few loop-the-loops and barrel rolls along the way. Then, take a cool guided tour of our Museum and experience 100 Years of rich Irish Aviation History!

Get up close to aircraft, cockpits, engines and memorabilia such as the Blackburn Buccaneer XX897 Fighter Jet, Fouga Magister CM170 ex Irish Air Corps,  Spitifre Replica & CFM-56. 

Duration: Approx 2.5 hours (depending on class size)

School Tours with Scattery Island Tours Clare

comment

A visit to Scattery is like no other school tour!

Primary School Tours

The excitement begins as we exit the marina through the huge lock gates! The children will watch in wonder as the powerful water flows in and out of the gates. Once out on the estuary, it is just a short 15 minute sailing to the island as the children spot the various wildlife on route.

During the sailing, we will give each child a special treasure trail map colouring page, which includes information on the rabbits and birds they will learn about on the island.

On arrival, our tour guides will take the children on a spellbinding tour of the island’s monastic sites, where they will learn all about St. Senan and his battle against the monster Cathaigh.

After the guided tour, the children have a further 1.5 hours to enjoy their packed lunch and explore the southern end of the island where the lighthouse and Napoleonic artillery battery are located!

Scattery offers a safe playground and a fascinating learning experience for these young minds!
