Here we’ll visit the Nationaal Luchtvaart-Themapark Aviodrome (short also Aviodrome), which is a large aerospace museum in the Netherlands that has been located on Lelystad Airport since 2003. Previously the museum was located at Schiphol Airport.
On its current location there are three buildings: the main building where most of the aircraft on display are located and where there's a restaurant and a cinema, a replica of the old Schiphol terminal building from 1928 and a hangar for aircraft storage with limited access for visitors. Added to the aviation theme were several artifacts from several Dutch space programs, such as the backup flight-article of ANS (Astronomical Netherlands Satellite), a mockup of IRAS and the high-speed windtunnel model of the Huygens probe. In doing so the aviation museum became an aerospace museum.
We’ll enjoy lunch at the Aviodrome theme park prior to head back to our planes and fly back home to Luxembourg .

There are 7 suites available for our club, rooms are distributed on first come, first serve basis (depending your date of reservation at info@aerosport.lu )
Optional activities:
-Cycling:Recuperate your bike at the airfield (classic, tandem or electrical). For those who rather cycle there are lots of beautiful cycle paths on
the island. Texel offers 140 km of cycling paths and some are beautiful routes.
A real recommendation is the cycle path alongside the Wadden Sea. Here you can
cycle over the dyke, looking out over the water, with the sound of the sea in
your ears. The old aalenburgerdijkje between De Koog and Den Burg is also a
beautiful route. Near De Koog and Den Hoorn you'll find lovely cycle paths
along the dunes...and if you want a rest there's always an inviting terrace or
café to be found along the way.
- Walking: Texel can best be discovered by foot or bicycle. In this way you'll find
the most beautiful locations. And you'll have plenty of time to experience the
sounds, scents and colours of the Texel countryside. You can choose a route
before you set out or find your way ‘en route'. There are many
“Wandelen_duinensignposted” footpaths -Excursions:You'll enjoy our vast nature reserves and the unique flora and fauna on
Texel whilst going on excursion with a guide.
A large number of excursions is available. For information and
reservations please take a look at the website of Ecomare (you have to book an excursion by yourself) -Museums:Texel's fascinating past is evident across the island. From the small
boulders on the beach to the bullet holes in the lighthouse, questions arise at
various places. The inhabitants of Texel are keen to describe the history of
their island in the six museums on the island. Wonderful stories, about seals,
beachcombing and a seaman's life -Shopping: Den Burg is the 'capital' of the island with various unique shops. You
could enjoy a nice shopping tour. Lovely old fashioned grocer or a modern
department store. There's something for everyone! -Sports:There is an amazing range of activities on Texel. Have you always wanted
to try parachute jumping? Now's your chance! For those who rather keep two feet
on the ground there is a 9-hole golf course in the dunes. The sea and the vast beaches are a true
challenge for beach and water sport enthusiasts.
-Confirmed activity:Saturday April 25th at 2pm: visit the now world famous “Wezenspyk cheese farm”
(11km or 35 minutes by bike from our hotel airfield), who won in 2014 the
prestigious “super gold” title at the World Cheese award with their Texelse
Orekees. (11km or 35 minutes by
bike from our hotel airfield).A one hour guided tour is scheduled where you’ll have
the opportunity to taste their award winning cheeses and maybe purchase some of
their cheeses to take back home to Luxembourg. Sheep cheeses are Wezenspyk's speciality. They have been making sheep cheese for 500 years on Texel. Besides sheep cheese, Wezensheep claims to offer delicious cow cheese and goat cheeses. The guided degustation tour starts at 2pm (as the farm closes after 4pm) (Cheese farm Wezenspyk - Hoornderweg 29 in Den Burg - Texel. If you get lost by bike, please call +31 (222) 31.50.90)
