What an incredible experience this was. Alan and Stewart are very welcoming and despite their incredible and interesting carreer, welcomed us warmly, put us at ease and made us feel very comfortable. I took the controls for an hour, expertly guided, prompted and encouraged by Alan. The simulator is exactly as sitting in the real aircraft and the full motion soon "tricks" you into thinking you are airborne. Controls, feedback and cockpit are exactly as the real thing as is the response from all the inputs and controls - incredible. I fully recommend anyone to try this, beginner or professional, I am definitely coming back for another hour at least!!! My record shows no spilt drinks or cabin lockers popping open on landing (thanks to the expert guidance in the other seat!!!) Thank you both, my passenger and I really enjoyed our day - thank you.

As a long-time lapsed PPL I came with some experience, but still very limited. Alan taylored the session perfectly so that I learnt a lot and had a fantastic time. The simulator is excellent, much better than a 'fixed base' equivalent, and gives a very realistic experience. I cannot recommend both Alan and Stuart highly enough. They are offering a superb package at a very reasonable and competitive price, and I wish them well.

Fantastic simulator experience. Both Stewart and Alan are so knowledgeable, and tailor the experience with you at the absolute forefront. You decide where you want to go, and all the detail such as weather, day or night etc, and then the guys deliver it perfectly. You are 100% in control from to he outset, and throughout Stewart and Alan explain what’s happening and why, and how you need to respond in order to make the experience completely realistic. The full motion sim gives a totally authentic experience from the movement to the noises and vibrations, you can’t tell the difference. Completely recommend Simulator Adventures to anybody wanting a fun and realistic experience with knowledgeable, friendly and likeable instructors. I’ll definitely be back!

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 🤔
