  • The Canadian Aviation and Space Museum displays a collection of approximately 130 military and civilian aircrafts from around the world and covers the entire history of aviation from the beginning of time to today.
  • You can also see what it’s like to live in space thanks to the exhibition Life in Orbit: The International Space Station where children will learn how astronauts live, play, eat and take showers in space.
  • The Rockliffe Airport is located at the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum so you might be able to see a few planes take off or land during your visit.
  • Many aviation-themes activities are awaiting your children in the Hang Glider Studio
  • Once you’re done learning about all the planes, you can hop into the full-motion flight simulator that is used to train pilots (the Redbird is at an extra cost and is recommended for children 12 and up)
  • During spring and summer months, you can even take a real-life flight around the capital (extra $) either in a vintage biplane or a helicopter!
