Overview

It all began in Foynes. Walk in the Footsteps of Pioneering Aviators & Hollywood Icons in the Birthplace of Irish Coffee! Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum is located on the Wild Atlantic Way just 30 minutes from Limerick city on the banks of the Shannon Estuary. This truly unique visitor experience captures the story of how Foynes became one of the great aviation hubs of the world between 1937-1945. Walk in the footsteps of JF Kennedy, Bob Hope, Eleanor Roosevelt & many other dignitaries, movie stars & refugees who landed at Foynes. Experience Irish Coffee in the very building it was invented, and taste the original recipe in a quaint 1940’s setting (O'Regan's Restaurant - Irish Coffees sold seperately). Visit the new Maureen O’Hara exhibition dedicated to preserving the memory of Ireland’s most famous film star & explore the rich history of the River Shannon. Explore our new museum building which launched in 2023!

Excellent Stop!

Published on May, 2025

Fantastic museum. Was great for some in the family that loved the planes and some in the family that loved Maureen O'Hara! Some much too see and a great lunch.

A must see in Foynes

Published on Apr, 2025

A hidden gem in county Limerick. Received a very warm welcome. The displays are well presented, interesting and informative. The stories are engaging and some are incredible. We had to leave after 2 1/2 hours as we had lunch booked, otherwise would have stayed longer.

Well worth a visit.

Explore the history of the Flying Boat Service from Foynes on an excellent tour of the museum. We visited the museum early moring and it was quiet, so we had a lot tof time to talk to the recepton staff who were excellent - friendly and welcoming and so full of knowledge. We spent a couple of very enjoyable hours in the museum wwhich also includes a collection doneated by Maureen O Hara's family. You get the oopportunity to inspect a replica of one of the flying boats and can even try to fly one of them on the simulators. This is an ideal place for families to visit - dont miss it if you are in the area.

An Excellent Experience

I have always wanted to visit this museum and was lucky to finally visit it. It is such an interesting and very well laid out museum. The interactive aspects are excellent. I loved being able to go inside the plane and really enjoyed it. The Maureen O Hara exhibition is fabulous. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Thanks so much for a wonderful visit.

Fantastic experience ✨

Published on Dec, 2024

I had the pleasure of bringing my elderly parents to visit Foynes Flying Boat Museum last week, and I have to say the experience was fantastic. From the lady at the front desk, the film on the history of the flying boats, Maureen O' Hara's exhibition and of course lunch, the whole visit was wonderful. Many thanks to you all, I would definitely recommend this Museum ❤️
