Canadian Aviation Museum

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.
