    If, like me, you are into military history and military aviation, this is a wonderful place…read more Everything here is in flying condition and there is an incredible selection of understandably Canadian military aircraft. From WW2 era stuff right up to the present day. The facility is huge and comfortable. Fortunately for me the day I was there was temparate so I could spend plenty of time outside behind the museum with the birds stored there as well. Just the right mix of real planes and displays of artifacts and informative plaques. This would be an enjoyable visit for anyone even mildly interested in history, but if history is your passion? Buckle up for an incredible amount of fun!

    We had a wonderful visit to the museum today. It's a must see for aviation enthusiasts, the…read morecollection is crazy (say my boyfriend who is obsessed with plane and is a pilot). They also have interactive elements like the flight simulator and VR experience (extra cost). A lot of the staff is made up of retired pilots and mechanics who are incredibly friendly and eager to share their knowledge. My brother and boyfriend loved getting to sit in the actual planes. There's even a small cafe inside with a great view of the runway. A perfect way to spend the day and pay tribute to our veterans as well. Even though it is a bit far from Toronto, it's definitely worth the visit. You can also stay as long as you want, go in and out for food breaks if you need.

    I've been to the AGH 3 times in the last month. My husband and I were lucky to attend Industry…read moreTheatre's Garden Projects preview and I am Still an Artist series event - complete with a bar and masked dance party! The event was wonderfully executed featuring music, dance, theatre centered on community voices. I would love to come to a regular event like this to meet other artists and art appreciators, preview new art from local artists, drink, dance and have a great time - absolutely amazing!! My second two visits were to mainly see the Maud Lewis exhibit- which I'm so glad I did before the shut-down. I loved taking my time through the enormous collection of works. The colors, shapes, textures, application and style I am crazy for. I appreciated seeing like pieces together - it really helped me see how unique and purposeful each composition was. The documentary film and plaques throughout helped tell the story. Other pieces throughout the museum also caught my eye. The Tom Thomson exhibit and various contemporary pieces were very cool to take in. You can use the app Artivive to activate certain pieces through interactive A.I. designs, video and audio enhancements. The gift shop is also amazing! I got so many fun holiday gifts for friends, family, and a few books for myself too. I can't wait to see what's up next.

    I recently visited the Art Gallery of Hamilton and was really impressed by the variety and quality…read moreof the exhibitions. It's located right in the heart of downtown, making it super accessible, and the space itself is beautiful very clean, quiet, and well-organized. I specifically enjoyed "The Great Lakes" exhibit; it was a really thoughtful exploration of the landscape using different media like video and sculpture. The gallery also has a fantastic permanent collection of Canadian art (including some Group of Seven pieces) and the Kim Adams "Bruegel-Bosch Bus" is a must-see you can spend ages just looking at all the tiny details in that installation. The staff was helpful and the AGH Shop on the way out has some really unique jewelry and home goods that you don't see everywhere else. Whether you're a local or just visiting the city, it's a great way to spend a few hours. If you're coming on a weekend, check the parking meters nearby as some are free on Saturdays, or use the underground city parking right on King Street West. Thursday's admission is free and the gallery is open late :).
