  My family had a great time touring the Concorde plane. Especially our three year old-He was so sad when it was time to leave. We had initially read reviews that it was underwhelming, however we did not find that to be the case at all. Our tour guide was fantastic. Also, it is easily accessible by public bus and would make a good activity to do on the day you fly in or out of the Island as it is connected to the Airport.

  Fun, you get to tour inside the concord and then self tour around the outside. The place is air conditioned so it's nice and comfortable for us tourists. They have viewing platform to watch planes land and take off at the air port, but I suggest going later afternoon if you want to see planes coming and going.

  It was super cool, and it was amazing to go into one and look at what it'd be like 20 odd years ago.

  Great way to get on board a real Concord and learn about the engineer marvel this was for its time, and even now. Walk down the aisle, sit in the seats, and get plenty of pix to show your friends. Queen Elizabeth reportedly rode in seat 1a so go feel the vibe.

  It is a very nice experience. We can enter inside the Concorde and see histories about the airplane. The price is a bit expensive but it worths.
