Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum

Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum is a not-for-profit charitable aviation and maritime museum in the original Foynes Airport Terminal Building, preserving the pioneering North Atlantic flying-boat era and River Shannon port history. Its visitor experience includes the world’s only full-size Boeing 314 replica, first-flight and airline exhibits, original radio and weather interpretation, war-years history, B314 flight simulators, a restored control tower, maritime displays, the Irish Coffee story and a Maureen O’Hara exhibition. Current opening periods, seasonal closures, admission and tour-booking rules change; check the operator’s live plan-your-visit guidance, and book guided group tours in advance. Wheelchair access covers the museum except the B314 cockpit; free parking and toilet/baby-changing facilities are available. Guide and service animals are welcome; pets are not permitted inside. Visitor address: Aras Ide, Foynes, Co. Limerick, V94 T6C1, Ireland.
