This is an absolutely wonderful place to visit. The whole set up is very well thought out, lots of interactive areas and the tour, with info, from the tour guide is well worth doing. Plus a lovely indoor cafe with plenty of seating and a shop area that has memorabilia to buy. The history of Bomber Command really opens your eyes to the terror they faced and the bravery of everyone of them.

Lived up to expectations from comments received from friends and other reviews. Very friendly staff. A very informative exhibition and a poignant memorial. We aim to return within the year and perhaps have one of the popular Sunday Lunches - having very much enjoyed the full breakfast on this visit. (NB small discount for booking exhibition entry and parking in advance).

A superb memorial. The free guided tour was excellent, with lots of information about the Centre, Bomber command, and those who flew. Good cafe too.

Brilliant way to spend a couple of hours educating yourself on unsung heros who deserve more of the spotlight. The free tour with Andrew was a highlight!

This is a true masterpiece of an attraction and provides a lovely moving magnificent tribute to those who served in Bomber Command during World War Two. There are several things to see at the Centre all of which are very moving, thought provoking and amazing tribute to those who served in Bomber Command and the main features at the Centre are The Chadwick Centre, The Wall of Names, Peace Gardens & The Spire. The Spire is a steel memorial Spire which lies at the hear of the site and is joined by the Wall of Names which runs around the edge. The Spire is an impressive iconic structure and a lovely fitting tributes to those who served in Bomber Command and across from the Spire you can enjoy spectacular views of the city of Lincoln and it's iconic Cathedral and the Cathedral was a sighting point for flying crews flying from Lincolnshire. The height and width of the Spire is also based on the Wingspan of the Lancaster Bomber making it another excellent tribute to Lincolnshire and it's aviation history. The Wall of Names is a collection of Steel sheets that surrounds the memorial Spire and is a lovely moving tribute to 58,000 men and women who lost their lives during World War Two when serving for Bomber Command and the Wall of Names lists some of the names of those who fought valiantly and selflessly for Bomber Command during World War Two. Whilst you are in the area of The Wall of Names it feels very peaceful and seeing the names listed gives you a moment of reflection of the current time and to those who bravely lost their lives during their service in Bomber Command and enabled victory in World War Two and the following generations of people to have the way of life we have today. The Wall of Names is also a wonderful fitting tribute to those who served in Bomber Command and the Wall of Names at the Bomber Command is the only place in the World where the lives of people who died whilst serving for Bomber Command are commemorated. The Wall of Names consists of 23 walls in total and the names listed are represented from 45 Nations worldwide. The Peace Gardens are quiet contemplative place for people to remember those who served in Bomber Command and the Peace Gardens are divided into two Gardens which are the Lincolnshire Peace Garden and The International Peace Garden. The Lincolnshire Peace Garden has 27 native lime trees which mark each of the Operational Bomber Command stations in the county of Lincolnshire. There are location markers at the Base of each tree that identify the stations, the squadrons that served and the number of losses and the Lincolnshire Peace Garden is the host of the Ribbon of Remembrance. The International Peace Garden is the larger of the two Gardens and pays a lovely tribute to the 62 nations from 5 continents who served and supported Bomber Command during the Second World War and also includes the Jubilee Grove which is a nice space for a private quiet moment. There are some informative information panels detailing information about the different nations around the world who served in Bomber Command and their contribution to the War Effort. In the Peace Garden you can see a Dig for Victory Garden and an interesting display about how these gardens came about and you can also an example of an Andersen Shelter, which is marvellously displayed and there is an interesting display panel about how Andersen Shelters came about and the conditions inside them. The Chadwick Centre is the large building at the entrance to the site and houses an interesting informative exhibition about Bomber Command, The Hub Cafe and Shop. The exhibition is a wonderful exhibition about Bomber Command over two floors where the ground floor has some interesting displays about why the bombing took place, the opposition to it and also the politics along with some interesting panels about the stages of a bombing raid before and after giving an idea of how they were conducted, the risks involved and how people involved felt in the aftermath. Overall a brilliant and unforgettable place to visit and makes for a great day out
