Overview
Whether visiting as a family, an enthusiast or just plain curious, we offer something for everyone! Overlooking the seafront at Lee-on-the-Solent, and based on the old Daedalus naval base, we are the only Hovercraft Museum in the world. One of Hampshire’s unique attractions it’s a collection of international significance and is entirely volunteer-run.
The Hovercraft Museum is an interactive place where everybody can participate in a wide variety of activities and even get hands-on with the displays. There is something here for everyone, from climbing aboard the huge cross-channel hovercraft to playing air hockey or getting a photo with James Bond’s Hovercraft.
