I was a bit disappointed. It resembled a warehouse more than a museum with cases of exhibits around the outside walls and a collection of planes and such crammed in the middle. The side rooms with medals and badges were more impressive and organized. There were 3 people at the front desk and I got passed off to one of... More

With all of the attractions you can see or spend your money going to, this one has heart! Its worth the visit and its worth the admission! I hope this place is always open! My 4 year old was thrilled this summer when one of the pilots offered to take her for a short flight over edmonton! It was her... More

I visited here yesterday, with my husband and son. We are sure to visit every Aviation museum we can, and this one takes the cake for being the biggest disappointment. I found it to be extremely overpriced for what you get to see. The jet outside was not open, but yet they were still charging full admission. I was incredible... More

Ya, I love this place! There is so much amazing history packed into one massive hangar.. They tell so many stories here about so many cool people... And the best part about this museum is that every time I go back, they have changed things around, have added new stuff to play with, and have also added new airplanes!! I... More

Amazing amount of aircraft and related items. Several old aicraft tou can get into including an F86 Sabre. This isn't a glossy overdone museum but one that shows you a lot of history and is well worth a visit.

planes, planes, engines, planes, old planes. I almost couldn't leave this place for anything. Offering up a bag full of candy and no bedtime would have gotten a "no thanks mom"

We were really pleasantly surprised by the amount of planes and displays inside the main hanger. While I don't consider myself a history buff, I enjoyed learning about the different aircrafts and pilots that are... More
