Great ambience, beautiful architecture, and friendly staff. You can claim free tickets on their website for visits during 4pm to 5pm, and it's not that crowded. It's been a nice experience.

Fantastic destination for aviation enthusiasts. With a remarkable collection of aircraft and space artifacts, it offers a captivating journey through Canada's aviation history.
The interactive exhibits and well-preserved planes provide an engaging experience for visitors of all ages The museum's dedication to showcasing the country's aerospace achievements makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in flight and space exploration. Free entry during the last hour.

Great for what it was. Reasonably priced. Not the largest aviation museum, but had a lot of great insight into the contributions Canada has made to aviation. They had a great kids program about mail delivery that was bilingual. They offer several options for aerial tours of the capital to include biplane rides starting at $95/person for 15-20 min.

Beautiful museum, very well curated and taken care of. We've visited it on canada day when the admission is free. Lots and lots of aircrafts exhibited on their floor. A cool flight simulator is also available on site. We paid $5 for parking tickets just outside the main entrance. It's a great spot for a family activity. Very much recommended.

A must visit for any Airplane fan. Spare 2 to 3 hours for your visit. Check their website for a free hour entry at end of certain days.

Apart from the displays, you can also buy and experience real airplane & helicopter flights!

From the oldest flying balloon to fighter jets & drones, there are many different planes on display. Many air plane engines, landing gear & other mechanicals are also on display.

Space section is also very knowledgeable. You can see what astronauts eat & feel how heavy your hand feels in space.

Location is also nice and reachable without hitting traffic. Parking is paid but cheap & plenty.

And lastly the souvenoir shop will excite the kids like no other as it has plenty of planes to choose from.

Overall, very nice experience.

Love going to the Aviation museum. This was our first visit with our 3yr old. Very kid friendly - has a small cafe with food and tables, bathroom with changing table, lots of space for Strollers and there were Strollers to lend.
Exhibits very well done - description signs are updated and very nice; includes aviation art of various artists including Canadians. Easy to read info.
A few exhibits you can sit in. Some interactive information walls that are too advanced for little one - better for older kids and adults.
They have a huge section with wooden plan tricycles - this was fantastic.
Also a back observation area where you can see the runway and planes taking off and landing.

Parking on site, not free.

Must do!
