This Canadian aviation history museum tells the stories of people and aviation in Canada. Visitors can take a chronological walk around the Museum starting with WWI to present day. They can see how large a part Canada has played in aviation history, and how large a role aviation has had in shaping the lives of Canadians. The Museum contains fine examples of both civilian and military aircraft, and a huge selection of aviation related artifacts, photos and models. The Museum is constantly undergoing display changes to allow our visitors to see something new each time they stop by. The Museum is a ground-level facility, with ramps for easy wheelchair access. Vehicles and HandyDART buses can pull up adjacent to the main entrance. Along with the aircraft and displays, the Museum has an extensive aviation gift shop with everything from posters to books, hats, t-shirts, toys, videos and much more.
