It's been a long while since I've been to this museum and now with a toddler in tow, it was much more interesting. Of course, the planes, artifacts, and exhibitions themselves were cool to see and read about, but it was much cooler to see our little guy's eyes light up every time something caught his eye. He wasn't walking unsupported then, but now that he's running around, we might go back again soon, as there is quite a bit of space and was fairly quiet and not too packed. We went with my brother- and sister-in-law and 6-year-old nephew. It was great family fun, especially seeing the planes take off in the back. Would love to ride a biplane next time! There are a few photo ops for kids, which we definitely took advantage of, and I've read in other reviews that they do kids' birthday parties. Maybe something to consider in the future. The food in the cafe was pretty pricey for what was being offered (sandwiches, snacks, etc.), so not sure if the parties are priced higher as well.
I really like this museum. Actually, to be honest, I wasn't a fan at first. I found it kind of boring (sorry). Then the hubby chose this as our wedding venue in 2016 and we ended up getting married here. It grew on me, but I still found it a bit boring. Fast forward, we now have a toddler, and a membership to this museum (part of the ingenium museum ottawa pass which includes Science and Tech, and Agriculture) and I enjoy coming here a lot more, especially during those REALLY cold Winter days. It's a quiet museum, there's not a whole lot for kids. I would describe it as being pretty laid back. They have some toy wooden planes kids can ride, and the new added space exhibit which has some interactive features. They also do kids birthday parties here!!! A couple of notes: -This museum is not easily accessible by public transportaion. -There are strollers and wheelchairs that you can use on site. -There is a cafeteria on site (it's usually not busy, and I've never tried the food, so I can't comment if its good or not) -lots of greenery outside for picnics during the warmer months. -Large parking lot, but its a small distance from the museum. There is drop off spots by the front. -Free entry after 4pm daily (but closes at 5)
Driving here from downtown Ottawa proves the maxim that the journey is as good as the destination. The drive is incredibly scenic and I've actually done the drive back-and-forth a few times over the years but, embarrassingly, this was the first time that I ventured into the museum itself. It was a cold day with snow everywhere so I was one of only two visitors. It gave me time to wander aimlessly through the large hangar complex. The place is packed with planes and it was fun to see some of the monsters that plied the northern reaches of the country. I guess if I were a child I would want more interactive features and displays. Okay, I'll be honest, as an adult I would want them, too.
Wheeeeeee! I love Aviation and Space! I wish I lived on Aviation Pkwy! The museum is part of Ingenium, a federal crown corporation set up by an act of Parliament to oversee the trio of national museums including Agriculture & Food and Science & Technology. A little remote from the downtown area, there is plenty of pay parking if you're driving and definitely worth the trip. The $15 adult admission (US$11) is pretty reasonable. There's even a $38 family package (2 adults & 4 kids) and a $12 group discount (15+ people). Ottawa is similar to Washington DC in that they have all manner of museums, though more spread out and CASM can give the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum a run for their money. As you enter the building, you walk under the inverted CT-114 Tutor jet trainer of the famed Snowbirds aerobatic team. I had seen them perform their precision aerial maneuvers at Jones Beach and was impressed to see one up close from the balcony walkway. The main hall is sectioned off by aviation eras, starting with early wooden biplanes and WWI aircraft like the Sopwith Camel (Snoopy's plane). Moving onto WWII, there are British (Spitfire & Hurricane) and German (Bf-109, Me163 Komet & He-162 Volksjager) planes on display. Towering over them like a mother goose with wings splayed is what I came to see, the Avro Lancaster bomber, one of the few left in existence and with over 400 of them built in Canada. With its four Merlin engines, it dropped millions of pounds of bombs over Berlin, Hamburg & Frankfurt, including the Dambuster and 25,000lb Grand Slam bombs. It was a frightening time in history that should never be repeated and never forgotten. Moving onto the Jet Age, the Cold War and modern times, those eras are represented by innovative designs such as the DeHavilland Vampire carrier based fighter and the Hawker Siddeley Harrier jump jet. One of the last indigenous jet interceptor designs, the CF-105 Avro Arrow is a proud centerpiece for Canada, even though a whole one no longer exists. Only a nose section and wingtips of one of the prototypes survive after it was cancelled in 1959. A design ahead of its time, it suffered from political infighting and never made it into production, which eventually ran Avro out of business and from which the Canadian aerospace industry never fully recovered. This is evident in later years, when Canada resorted to buying military hardware from the USA (displayed here) such as the Bomarc missile, CF-5 Freedom Fighter, CF-101 Voodoo and CF-18 Hornet jet fighters. Multiple times during the day there are special demonstrations such as the ejection seat demo. It lasted for 1/2 hour and was informative, but (spoiler alert) was kind of disappointing. The kids might enjoy it since they can be called upon to participate by putting on pilot gear. For the little kids, there are wheeled wooden biplanes all over the open floor areas that they can ride in mock dogfights. Just keep an eye on them so that they don't run over any toes or into any kneecaps. If you have an extra hour (or maybe two), definitely get the $7 add-on for the private tour of the reserve hangar, where lesser known aircraft are being restored and others are rotated into the main hall for exhibition space. There are some BIG planes in here and are literally packed on top of each other! The docent has lots of stories of some of the more obscure aircraft. One interesting story was how they landed the DC-9 jetliner on the adjacent 3000ft runway meant only for small propeller planes! One of my favorite planes, the "Wooden Wonder of WWII," the DeHavilland Mosquito is also housed here. There's also a Mustang B, a Hawker Sea Fury, a F2H Banshee, a full sized C-130 Hercules and most of the pieces of a Bristol Beaufighter that I hope they will be able to restore to museum quality. Something to look forward to on the next visit!
You'd want to go here if you really really love planes. But if not, skip this, and you will not miss much. Got here at like 9:45 AM on a Sunday, and they were offering a Star Trek package (also comes with admission for the Space Museum plus 50% off at the Museum of Agriculture) for $18. If you don't want the Star Trek package, admission to the space museum is $13. Having an access to another whole exhibit for an additional $5 was worth it, so we have decided to go for the Star Trek package. After the time I spent there, I ended up liking the Star Trek exhibit more. There was actually lots of activities to do, and in the end you get an e-mail with your Star Fleet Academy certificate and with all the photos and videos of activities you have personally recorded during your stay. You enter in like a student to their Star Fleet academy, and you get to be trained on different activities. It was fun. As for the Space and Aviation museum, I mean, there is lots to learn, and I got bored after a while taking pictures, as the museum has a lack of interactive activities. The gift shops has many interesting finds, which is worth a visit. Review 79 of 100
The museum is very cool. The entry is not that expensive although its a little weird kids 3-4 years old cost money. Usually unless its a children museum kids at these age are free. Also I didnt like the fact the several exhibitions were broken or out of order. But the parking is not that expensive (6$ per day) and it is lots of fun and has a very impressive exhibition. These is one of these places were you need to visit but it will be a while until you re-visit since it is cool but not that cool.
It's more "aviation" than "space" at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. The space section is more or less a hallway dedicated to Canadian astronauts. But the aviation part is really quite good! They've got several aircraft from pretty much every era of modern flight, from WWI Sopwith biplanes, to the jet-age, VTOL-capable Harrier. There's a good mix of airplanes from both commercial and military service, too. The planes were mostly Canadian, but I did spot a few others, like a MiG and a Messerschmitt hidden about. According to the museum map, they've got over 60 planes and helos to peruse. There are also a few "others" scattered around, like a REO, an Oldsmobile, and even a Vespa! I found it interesting to learn that many of the planes here, though foreign-designed, were actually built [under license] in Canada! BONUS TIP: The museum has FREE admission from 4pm to 5pm!! It's just enough time for a walk-through, cause you'd need two or three hours to really soak in the whole place.
My review is strictly on their catering. I had our work x-mas party there and their food was horrible! The main course was absolutely bland. I asked for salt and I was told "because this is fine dinning we don't have salt." I'm sorry but I've had fine dinning before and that was far from it. It was more like a crockpot beef mess with no seasoning. The bar was horrendous! They didn't know how to make drinks. We literally had to tell them how to make them. They brought out each meal type separately. First vegans, then fish, then beef. Therefore, no one at the table got to eat together. If we waiting for people to get their food the vegan's meals would get cold. It was the worse experience I've had.
In a city full of museums, this is easily my favourite. If you plan on visiting, you MUST take the guided tour. Admittedly, I grew up wishing to be a Boeing 747 pilot. Are you feeling adventurous? Wondering what its like to fly in a vintage aircraft? I was so lucky to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, taking flight in a vintage biplane. My wonderful wife marked my birthday with this unique and memorable birthday gift idea. I was so thankful to share the experience with my younger son. We flew aboard a Waco UPF-7, an open cockpit biplane circa 1939 on the Parliament Hill Tour. It provided us with a beautiful view of the fall colours surrounding Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa from the front seat of the aircraft. Visited in October 2010
An educational experience with lots of toys is basically what this place is. This museum is full of full size planes dating back before WWI and up to the present. Some of these planes are replicas and others are the actual planes themselves all shined up for display (I've been told the real planes have faux engines in them and are then shined up). Each plane is accompanied with a little bit of info about when the plane was made, where, when it was used and what became of it basically. There is also a flight simulator area as well as a few cockpits in which you can sit it. I unfortunately did not get a chance in the simulator as the kids were all over that stuff. For a large fee, this particular day that I was here, you were able to ride in a small helicopter. It was free to watch though. There is a lot of information to be read here and a lot to learn. That being said, I feel you need an interest in planes or be an engineer or a kid to truly and fully appreciate what all this is. This was a fantastic museum and there are free tours every couple of hours available. That being said, I have no interest in planes and such and I will most likely not be coming here again. This is mostly because planes don't much interest me. Admission for me was $13 so it wasn't bad. I spent about 3 hours there and found myself sleepy from all the walking and reading. Almost a 4/5 as a museum itself goes but as I said, I have no interest in this.
Overall excellent museum. Seems quite small at first but I you spend time checking out the info and all the great details on the planes you can spend 2-3 hours here. Quite a few activities spread around for the younger children that I was not expecting. The staff are bilingual but I found the ticket agent struggled its English. (I noticed the tour guide on the other hand struggled at times with speaking French.) We went on the "Vintage Biplane Flight" viewing Parliament Hill offered by "Ottawa Biplane". It was an excellent flight and well worth the $200 including taxes. Of note, you do get free admission to the museum by paying for the flight (saving $26 for two adults). Don't bother waiting in line to pay for entry like we did. The flight is loud and windy and there was some buffeting due to the relatively small size or perhaps the design of the plane. The staff suggested children 6-7 or older are OK on the biplane - no issues with younger kids in the Cescna plane (or the helicopter likely). Parking was $6 for the day. The cafe was a major disappointment. The "tea situation" was every odd indeed. There were three Red Rose tea bags and about twenty camomile tea bags available (from several different brands) - nothing else. When I asked a staff member, she said that's it. I asked if they can re-stock for more choice and the answer was no then walked off like it was odd someone didn't want camomile tea? The Starbucks coffee tasted off - probably not cleaning the thermos containers enough. My receipt said "Bytown Catering", so I would perhaps avoid them if looking for catering in the Ottawa/Gloucester area.

We came here to use our ASTC Passport. The staff was friendly, handed us a map and told us about the demonstrations that they were going to be doing over the next couple hours. This place is really large and they have a lot of planes, helicopters, and a few ground based vehicles. It can get quite loud since everything echoes in this massive warehouse. Most of the displays are static displays that you will pause to read. A lot of really interesting aviation history going back over 100 years. I was a big fan of the display regarding the engines used in planes. Their kid section is pretty small, so it can get crowded and chaotic. They did have a great demonstration for the kids and adults about how to land a plane. Being able to sit in a cockpit really makes you appreciate what fighter pilots go through. Overall it is a really interesting museum with a lot of interesting planes. It's not really a place I would bring a younger child as there isn't much for them to do and interact with. If you have time to walk and read this is a good place to go. read more
Up, up and away! Canada Aviation and Space Museum is located at the Ottawa/Rockcliffe Airport. The museum hangar houses a large collection of aeronautical artifacts highlighting Canada's achievements in the area. Upon entering the building, we noticed an upside down Snowbird overhead. How typically Canadian! The exhibits take you through time, starting from original biplanes, to WWI fighters, WWII bombers, utility aircrafts, modern fighters and helicopters. A highlight is undoubtedly the nose section from the cancelled Avro Arrow. Other unique exhibits include the "Engines: Power to Fly" display, and a 9/11 display with Come From Away. I particularly enjoyed the small but interesting Canadian Space Agency exhibit "Life in Orbit: the International Space Station." It was too bad some interactive displays were closed due to COVID safety. We felt that 1-2 hours was more than sufficient to walk through the museum. There were limited interactive displays including one for kids to fly using their arms as the wingspan. Tickets are reserved ahead & free daily between 4-5pm. Thanks Bill N. for this recommendation! read more

I have two children and am always looking for fun and educational places to take them. They really enjoyed the war museum, so I figured the aviation museum would be a slam dunk as well. The museum is a huge hanger (how appropriate) filled with real, full-size aircraft from all stages of Canada's development - fragile planes from the beginning of flight, WWI bi-planes, WWII fighters, passenger planes.... They also have flight related artifacts and a collection of books and other flight documents. And, not only is it a museum, but it also plays host to flight related events. In October, the Battle of Britain memorial was held at the Aviation Museum with dignitaries from around the world there to celebrate this historic event. They even had a fly past of WWII planes, including the last functioning Lancaster bomber in North America. It is a wild place to explore, but don't expect your kids to get it or enjoy it to the max. The gift shop wowed them more than the museum sadly. read more
