Awesome aviation museum, which is free one hour prior to closing, so it makes it even better. There are lots of historic and modern planes on display and lots of things to interact with. For extra charge, you can take a plane ride around Ottawa, which provides amazing views from above. I will definitely recommend checking it out

Incredible!! This place is certainly with visiting … I guess I am going back again .I could spend 3 hours with my curious toddlers . What makes this interesting ks that they have planes which are either first of their kind or last …This could be a 1 day outing. Hands down !!

What a wonderful museum to visit and spend time at! It’s not a whole day visit, but definitely a great place to spend half the day with your children and family. A great assortment of aircraft from WW2 and even a space section on the second floor.

A nice museum with an easy to navigate layout. Airplanes from 1909 to present, along with jets and helicopters. Nice quick summaries for eac plane. Includes Canadian, German, and other nationalities. Also a small section on space travel. Can easily use the hop on and hop off tour bus to visit along with other sites.

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!

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.

This is by far my favourite museum in Ottawa. I highly recommend taking the guided tour of the reserve hanger. It's absolutely worth the money. They only offer this tour at 11:30am and 2:30pm, so I would suggest booking in advance to guarantee yourself a spot.
