Lovely day trip out to Ottawa yielded a trip to this place. It was around 20$ CAD Per person, my duration of stay was about 2 hours but it could've easily been three. Lots of cool history here to see, and there's a helicopter ride you can take. Also there's a fighter Simulator but it wasnt open that day for us. Aviation buffs this is a must visit in your life time.

This Air Museum is fantastic. I’ve been to many in Canada and the US and this is in the top 5 for sure. The guides did a great job and the facility is huge. Great variety of airplanes and a good space section. Recommend an extra $8 for the second hanger. Well done Ottawa!

Most of the displays are static displays that ...
