CANADIAN AVIATION MUSEUM REVIEWS
Fantastic Living Museum. Gorgeous historical airplanes. Amazing hospitality. We loved exploring this magical hanger and hearing the stories in great details and heart. Would definitely revisit this gem.I was skeptical of how fun a tour would be as I never took interest in aviation and this museum seemed insignificant, but the guides here are not your average guides, the history here does have significance, and the history here put tears in full grown men. The guides here know the history of not only aviation but deep knowledge of history and museums across the US and Canada. As you walk around, volunteers will be building planes in the center. You can tell that your guide isn't the typical museum guide who learned about the museum from textbooks. Simulators with advanced technologies for their day, souvenirs collected by pilots from around the world, affordable flights over scenic city & natural views, simulators that help visitors experience flight training, indoor and outdoor areas - really incredible history.
I had a great experience here. The mosquito bomber project crew were top notch. It was nice to see young people working there and at very knowledgeable group. I will definitely be going back. So worth the trip from Edmonton.
I really enjoyed my visit to the Canadian Aviation Museum. There's a nice balance between airworthy aircraft and restoration projects. Nice to see the progress on the Lancaster and Mosquito projects. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The day we were there they had a Harvard, Chipmunk and Stearman flying. Great to watch them taxi out fir their flight. Highly recommended.

CHIMCZUK MUSEUM REVIEWS
What a treat! A lovely little museum. There's a great room for kids activities but the rest is for adults. The art gallery was amazing. Get the combo ticket!
I hope to see more of the variety of local historical and cultural locations in the Windsor area and of local canadians who help shape our future. It is a great museum with much to see and rotating exhibitions. Great friendly and helpful staff.
It was a awesome place especially for those interest historical stuff and staff was friendly and welcoming. You just need to pay 16$ for whole family and can spend full day.

COVENTRY GARDENS REVIEWS
I love this garden. On all of riverside drive I find they have the most flowers and beautiful views. I just love seeing all the tulips planted here early spring. The river side ice cream place in Coventry gardens is fantastic too, who wouldn't love a nice water side stroll with some ice cream. There's always a line but it's worth the wait. Dog-friendliness: It's a great place to take your dogs to. The waterfront breeze makes the hot summer days very manageable for your dogs.
A lovely riverside park and well taken care of with many beautiful flowers and a lots of rest bench. I have to say it is much more beautiful than the one across the river. lol
Beautiful and well thought out garden beds and topiaries. Saw many family's and people's pets taking a stroll. Good for photo-ops as I've seen many wedding parties stop to take photos. Ice cream and washrooms at entrance by Pilette.
