Simulator Adventures Manchester - Salford

Amazing Experience – Highly Recommended!

We travelled from London to Manchester for a 60-minute full motion flight simulator session, and it was 100% worth it! After doing a lot of research of multiple places. I booked it through Virgin Experience as a birthday gift for my partner, and it was an unforgettable treat.

We flew from Innsbruck to Salzburg with added challenges like zero visibility, which made it even more exciting. The full motion made it feel incredibly real, and the team were so friendly and welcoming from start to finish.

If you're into aviation or just want a unique adventure, don’t miss this and bring someone as a passenger!

What a fantastic afternoon. This was a surprise 65th birthday present off my wife Gillian and I wasn’t disappointed. Just a short walk from Media City this is a wonderful experience. We were welcomed by twins Alan and Stewart, both experienced pilots. The A320 simulator is state of the art and exceeded my expectations. I flew the A320 from Belfast to Glasgow utilising all cockpit controls and the traffic collision avoidance system. I landed the aircraft firmly and controlled, according to Alan 🤔

Purchased as a 30th Birthday gift for my partner who loves everything about aviation! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel super welcome, Alan spent time talking to me about my fear of flying too which is far above and beyond what we expected from the visit. My partner had the most AMAZING time in the simulator which was a jam packed hour to make sure we got the most out of the experience - even simulating two engines being switched off mid flight to show me that it would be ok! Please don't waste your time or money going anywhere else!

I took my niece for a simulation experience as part of her 21st birthday.
We met both Alan and Stewart, they are the most friendly and down to earth guys you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Alan was our instructor, he was so informative and professional throughout the experience. He really went out of his way to make it special and memorable. The simulation is surreal, it was just epic! Although I was just a passenger, he got me involved at each stage which was just an unexpected added bonus. On the day, we took a Polaroid camera along with us, we couldn’t understand why it was playing up. Alan helped to figure this out and sourced some new batteries - we were extremely grateful for this. It was just truly amazing from start to finish. We learnt so many interesting facts about flying and the engineering side of things - if you have fear of flying then I would highly recommend
going along to this experience and learn more. It definitely helped me with the nerves I experience when flying. This whole experience really added a special touch to my nieces special day. We will definitely book again. If you’re thinking of booking, you won’t be disappointed.

This was a Christmas gift for my husband from my parents. He absolutely loved it! Amazing set up and feels so realistic. The brothers are extremely friendly and knowledgeable (and even have two lovely doggos to great you at the door). We parked at media city but there is parking available right outside. Highly recommended and will definitely be going back.

First of all Really appreciated the A320 cockpit crews and all staff's. Me and my wife with 2 year old baby visited on October 2nd. We book the simulator for 3 hours session. The Captain Alan was very friendly and helpful. Really there is no words to describe about the twin brothers Mr. Alan and Mr. Stewart Russell who is behind this Simulator Adventures.
Once again Thanking you all.
Thanks for the hospitality.

Amazing experience from beginning to end. Great welcome and such friendly people both Alan and Stewart who own/run the business. Both are ex commercial pilots and really know their stuff. The atmosphere is so friendly and relaxing, making the experience so much better, the sort of people you feel you’ve known ages after minutes of knowing them. The equipment/simulator is top notch, 100% realistic, with actual Airbus parts and likely the best you will find outside of commercial airline training facilities. They really have invested in the simulator to make it the best full motion simulator experience. I couldn’t recommend this enough, even my wife enjoyed it as a spectator within the simulator. Will be booking again.

Simulator Adventures is a great place to experience the thrill of flying a plane without actually leaving the ground. The simulator includes a full replica cockpit from an Airbus A320 and an advanced motion system, which really adds to the experience. It feels like you are actually flying the plane.

There are a variety of flight scenarios to choose from. During our 90 minutes we flew from Manchester airport to Liverpool and back again, in real-time.

The staff at Simulator Adventures are very friendly and helpful. They will give you a brief safety briefing before you start your flight, and they will be there to guide you through each step of the way and answer any questions you have.

An all-around fantastic experience, already can't wait to go back!
