Barbados Concorde Experience
Grantley Adams International Airport
Bridgetown, Barbados

Barbados is the final resting place for one of the iconic Concordes, the world’s first supersonic commercial aircraft. This is the first museum that allows visitors to sit in the actual aircraft. Projected onto the exterior skin of the plane is a 6-minute multimedia show which uses a combination of special effects lighting and audio, including the powerful ‘Sonic Boom’. Visitors can also visit the exhibits where they can experience a flight simulator, learn about the evolution of supersonic flight, the history of aviation in Barbados and its status as a Concorde destination.
