Great museum showing variety of farm euipmwnt including steam powered, beautifully restored antique cars, and a chance to ride in a 1953 Chevy to see the coal Mining equipment display.
Featured exhibit while we were there were the cars from the 1970’s. A seperate building housed a variety of old aircraft as well as some on display outside on the grass. Well worth the visit.

Great place to see and learn about Alberta history. From horse drawn implements to steam and gas tractors. Alberta's aviation is on display in a separate building and the mining industry is represented by several large machines outside. Needed 2 days to see everything and it was well worth it. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Great place to visit to see the history of cars/trucks/farm machinery/motorcycles etc. The information is easy to understand and there are hands-on things for children to set in motion and learn about. A fun and interested couple of hours and very inexpensive/

Well-laid out museum in a beautiful building containing antique cars, trucks, tractors & more. Separate building for many unique antique airplanes & another outside area with very large coal-mining equipment. Well worth a visit!

Stopped off here enroute to Edmonton. Was very quiet as we were out of season but spent an enjoyable few hours wandering around. Lots of really interesting exhibits, cars, bikes, aircraft and farming machinery. Set out very well so you don't miss anything. Reasonable price to enter, good gift shop and small restaurant. You get to sit in some of the exhibits which is fun and a great opportunity for photos. Very enjoyable

It was our quick stay coming back from Edmonton. They had great maintained models of the machinery.
My wife loved it here taking lots of instagram pictures. Good historical exhibits explaining revolution of aviation and agriculture. My girls 4 & 6 really liked it here. Must stop by if you want a quick rest from driving.

Brought my parents who were visiting from Newfoundland. The collection of antique cars was quite impressive! The history in the building was impressive. And the presentation was fantastic! Great little restaurant on site and gift shop!

The Reynolds Museum is spectacular and very worthwhile to spend a few hours. The staff is knowledgable and friendly. However, the biplane rides are operated by Central Aviation. The ride itself was awesome; we took the 50 minute tour around Pigeon Lake. I had surprised my husband for his 65 th. birthday. The pilot, John was absolutely miserable. He never even introduced himself or said hello. He made us feel like we were putting him out. At the end of the flight, which was not cheap at $429.00, we asked if he could take a quick photo of us beside the plane. He responded with a curt" NO, I have to go to the can". He never said goodbye or thank you. Unfortunately, this miserable pilot with no people skills whatsoever overshadowed our experience of what was supposed to be a special day.

I like to get out and see new places. I had heard that it was neat - and it was fun !!! Price was right, huge, well laid out - and in back is another part of the museum of planes. We will return.
