Sinsheim/Speyer Museums

I am visiting both museums next month. Does anyone have a view about how much time to allow for each (or both) of these German aviation-related museums? Trip Adviser and other sources proffer between half and one day each. And are there any special advice/hints about making a visit?

Thanks

If you are only into the aviation things then you only need a half day or less at each. There are countless bikes/cars/trucks/tanks/boat/submarines etc that take up space but if your not overly keen, they are easily bypassed.

Make sure you take the walk onto the wing of the 747, and exit via the slippery dip!

Was there a few weeks ago.

Did Speyer in the morning and Sinshiem in the afternoon. Nothing special to look out for. You pay for parking at Speyer, and there are road works at the entrance to Sinsheim.

Also did the Deutches Museum aviation annex in Munich. Worth a look.
It's at OberschleiBheim between the airport and Dachau.

Enjoy.

If you want to see some warbirds and how they are restored, you might try to arrange a guided tour at

Start

Contact them in advance and you might be lucky to fit into their schedule.

Personally, I would plan a full day for each one.
