Trying to plan for school holiday days out, one of my boys loves F1 (he’ll be 13) but not sure whether they’ll be enough there for his age group or whether it’s firmly aimed at adults.
Grateful for any feedback

Brooklands Museum is closer, you can sit in an F1 car that runs as a simulator and for just an extra £6 you can go and sit on Concorde too…4

Yes, he’ll love it. Just down the road from me took my then 9 yr old daughter she had before that no interest but enjoyed the visit and there was plenty of interactivity for kids.AFKABartram said:Trying to plan for school holiday days out, one of my boys loves F1 (he’ll be 13) but not sure whether they’ll be enough there for his age group or whether it’s firmly aimed at adults.Grateful for any feedbackTook a couple of hours for us, she left saying she’d love to see a race one day and felt she got something out of it
the staff are fantastic, and will give you a nod if there’s any testing you can sometimes get a vantage of.
over at the Hilton garden in there’s a massive shop on the ground floor and in the lobby of the hotel a f1 show car - well worth a look and only just further down the road1 -

If you go to Brooklands on a Saturday you can do the parkrun 1st which takes place on parts of the original track2

Went to Silverstone on Tuesday, would really recommend. Spent 3hrs+ in the museum, loads of interactive stuff for kids but also lots for adults too.Glad we went2

@AFKABartram, if you haven't done it, Mercedes World at Brooklands is worth a visit as part of a trip to Brooklands itself. Izzy had a couple of driving lessons there when she was younger and seeing the skid pan display of the Mercs power drifting is worth a watch too.DamoNorthStand said:Fumbluff said:Brooklands Museum is closer, you can sit in an F1 car that runs as a simulator and for just an extra £6 you can go and sit on Concorde too…
