Reviews of Alberta Aviation Museum (Museum)

logain hallett

Honestly a wonderful experience, I leanres a lot about how plans work, and evolved over time The staff was very nice, and willing to share and knowledge that they had to offer. They also gave digital test simulations, that helped you oeabr how to fly a plane!

Christine Williams

Super fun for the kids. got some pictures the few comic books, happens once a year nice to get out and see what kind of things they have.

Melvyn Joseph

Good place to get some knowledge about aviation and planes.

Nadine Suliman

Great spot to learn some history, discover older flying technologies and the challenges they faced. Lots of different exhibits and very informed volunteer guides. They also have a flight simulator! And a couple of interactive exhibits.

Enoch Attey

Great space for a variety of events and such. Tough acoustics for music events, but a competent sound guy will do a great job!

Lee Morris

A very nice display of Edmonton's Aviation history.

Ahmed Taha

Fun place to go, easy to walk around and the kids enjoy it. It's a cheap experience for families to get up close and see some cool history of aviation in Alberta.

Benjamin Kraemer

The museum exhibits are fantastic and it's a great museum to learn about Edmonton's unique aviation history

Rebecca Docu

Had lots of fun. The staff were knowledgeable and kind, if you enjoy history it's a museum packed with it.

Tatiana Kastner

love them!

Ryan Galandy

If you like planes, they have them

John Adria

Great exhibits.

Linh Nguyen

Had a really fun time with my husband. It wasn't busy so one of the volunteer stayed with us and gave us a "private" tour. Really enjoyed our time.

norman ion

It was good

Rory MacDougall

There is an excellent cross section of aircraft that covers Canadian aviation through many decades. It is very well displayed and has a good system of explaining the history of the exhibits.

Gong Shao

Love the pop art fairs.

caleb879

Some amazing old airplanes, a few jets, and a back area for restoring other planes. The staff where volunteers, really passionate about planes and great to chat with

Vince Tran

Great museum with excellent volunteers! Would 10/10 recommend.

Tilal Abbasher

Nice for half day trips .

Joy K. Hernandez

The best Cadets

Bjorn Taylor

A must see display of Edmonton aviation history

Lucas Luchiari

Amazing place, very well documented! They exposition are focoused on Alberta's aviation history. Not much interactive, neighter attractive. They have really amazing planes but the way it's exposed doesn't seem so attractive. Sonetimes I had the inpression that is abandoned. The worse part is that we cant go inside the planes!!!! The explanation I had was that the planes were deteriorating, but I've seen other expositions that this is not a problem. There is a simulator but no one to help you. I have some pilot skills but I guss someone whose doest have cold be a little lost. In general is a good place but I wish it could be better.

Jay Dubya

Lots of unique stuff. Great little museum

MrKeninedmonton

Nice place in its time

Lynda Lau Liebrecht

Great place to take toddlers, lots of space to run around and informative very well kept displays. The volunteers clearly love the place, and if you are lucky - you'll get one of them to give you a tour of the place. A treat on a cold winter's day. Also very quiet so one of your best COVID-safe bets for an indoor excursion. Cute gift shop and tonnes of parking.

Scott Carleton

Great place to take a kids for a little piece of history.

Charlie Huang

A great place to visit especially you’re into fighter planes both early & mid 20th centuries.

Madeline Alcaraz

Amazing improvised and old airplanes...very educational..

Richard R.

We travelled back in time Sunday with a visit to the Alberta Aviation Museum. It is an immersive create-your-own classroom approach to learning about Alberta's rich aviation history. The impressive inventory of artifacts is well presented and the layout encourages freedom of exploration. The planes dominate and dazzle; their size, colours, and forms capture the imagination no matter one's age. Artful display cases dive deep into the fascinating histories of the many men and women who piloted, maintained, and bankrolled the opening of new territory. Hats off to the dedicated volunteers who made this museum a gem in the heart of Edmonton!

A Hasenbank

Large selection of historic aircraft and stories of early aviation in Edmonton and Canada's north.

Bryan Kiser

I was expecting a lot more from here.. I have been to CFB Trenton air museum and that's history of aviation..

AD Sewards

Great museum to see the aviation past,with lots of planes in a nice open area. Great gift shops

Matt Harris

Good 1-2 hour look at the history of aviation in Edmonton, helpful volunteers.

Matt Harris

Good 1-2 hour look at the history of aviation in Edmonton, helpful volunteers.

Johnathan Voshell

Very cool tourist attraction, could use some renovations, some of the planes inside had flat tires. The planes and firetruck outside are looking quite rough which is really sad to see. I do recommend visiting!

KimberLee Strawfield

Hosts pretty awesome events

Davi Siepmann

(Translated) It really is a place that one must visit! Much of Edmonton's aviation history from Alberta and Canada can be seen here. There are several models of planes, aircraft engines, several are replicas of the originals but there are several real planes as well. It's a good place to go with kids or with the family! (Original) C'est vraiment un endroit qu'on doit visiter! On peut voir beaucoup de l'histoire de l'aviation d'Edmonton d'Alberta et du Canada ici. Il y a plusieurs modèles d'avions, des moteurs d'avion, plusieurs sont des répliques des originaux mais il y a plusieurs vrai avions aussi. C'est un bon endroit pour aller avec des enfants ou avec la famille!

Роман Кузнецов

Everyone hardly recommend!) Huge layer of history to discover.

Steell Taylor

Incredible. Exhibits were excellently presented and well laid out with additional map.

Lisa Rodgers

Love this place great staff neat exhibits

Ryan C

Much bigger then it looks inside. Free on third Thursday of the month.

Yara Assi

I LOVED IT... It was so nice, a walk through the aviation history of Alberta with a great focus on women that were a major part of making history!! But the gift shop should have more items.. :(

Ajay Purewal

You get to know about the adverse condition pilots faced in 1900's and about their brave feats

Nathan Warkentin

I went here today. The air planes were cool, they even had a couple you can go into and sit in. The only problem I had was with trying to find a staff member to take me in one of them. I think it's worth the $12.

Tracey Nadon

Great place alot of Edmonton flight history

Aaron Lumbroso

Very informative a ns friendly volunteer staff

Igor Begoun

Amazing planes and staff. Fascinating for anyone. Extremely recommend.

Kiryl Rusetski

Great exhibit on early Western Canadian aviation

chas waitt

Great family fun. Staff were so friendly

The Stylen Gamer

I went to this place thinking okay it an old airplane hanger how good could this be? I was impressed with what I saw when I went inside. They had dioramas for each plane and they had a lot of planes. And this was all put together by volunteers. Wow! But the best part of the museum was the volunteers that walk through the museum and tell you all the stories that go with the planes.

Denis Bisson

Very nice museum, inside. Obviously, the people who do it are doing it with devotion.

Jorge Vitorino

Bring the kids leave a donation they need it

B.A.D Fam

Overpriced for what it is. Must experience once

Miguel Samaniego

Fun experience. We went during open cockpit day so we were able to sit inside various planes that were open.

Jeremy Smith

It's been a while since my last visit to the museum, and they've really done a terrific job on the displays. The B-25 and the Mosquito are first rate! And it's cool to get up close to the Starfighter! You can get a real feel for the history of the planes and the place here!

John Van Hal

If you like planes and Canadian history, this is a great place to spend a few hours.

jovan6886

Awesome planes. You can tell they put alot of work into maintaining these.

Very informative. Kids can even ride a plane cart.

iheanyichukwu ekekwe

Awesome Aviation Museum

Dave Janzen

Great bang for your buck

Lavanya PA

Nice place to learn alberta hisyory. They have cute little planes for little kids as strollers which my little one loved

Matt

Checking out the crystal show

Brandon Dunlop

Interesting exhibits, takes about three hours to take everything in. The gift shop has some neat trinkets and things like that. The staff was not that helpful, after we paid we didn't see them again. Fun and enjoyable place to spend a few hours!

Catherine Jevic

Great history! I wish we (as a city) could support them more so that the necessary repairs could be made.

Shaun Kessler

Not much parking. Large open space inside.

Greg Pasychny

Every time I go to the museum it improves, our family goes a lot as my kids love visiting it.

Tyler de Milliano

I went on a Saturday, expecting to spend an hour or two, and ended up spending four. I was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the displays. I highly recommended the Alberta Aviation Museum to anyone interested in local, aviation, military, or just general history.

Stu and Noella

We were at the Indigenous Craft show

TheMightySamosa

Friendly staff. Cool planes.

Tara Graham

Super cool walk through aviation history!

Jared Derkatz

This museum is fantastic. The entire place is full of rich history and the staff is very knowledgeable. We always learn something new every time we go. Plus, the last Thursday of every month is free admission, so it's a great time to go out for an evening and enjoy seeing some cool airplanes. Kid friendly, even have little push planes that small children can ride around on. It's especially cool when they open up the area where they build and refurbish the planes. Make sure to go into all the little "hidden rooms" to see all the historical things hiding in there. Highly recommend going, especially if you have not been there yet. You can easily spend a couple hours here if you wanted to.

Winona Eads

Went to see gems there at Silver Cove.

Roxy Zahara

Perfect place fpr a home school field trip!

HCA chick

Awesome visit to the past

Big open area.

C.S. Elliott

Pretty awesome to see. Happened along as it was open cockpit day, pretty spectacular the environment, people (a few crouchy staff), fantastic detail. My nephews loved it talk about all the time.

Darcy Daugela

Who does not like to know more about the aviation? My children love this place and learned a lot of useful information in 2-3 hours spent there in.

Argentina Young

A lot of history in the Museum and the building itself. My boys love this place.

Erica Heffren

Amazing place! Dave is an amazing tour guide!

Best place to hang out with family / children. Better to visit last Thursday of the month for free passes.

L Franco

(Translated) Very poorly maintained. Small and flat. Sad to visit a place so abandoned. (Original) Trés mal entretenu. Petit et plat. Triste de visiter un lieu si abandonné.

Sherif Refaat

Nice hosts and display of old planes

Sherif Refaat

Nice hosts and display of old planes

Aedrian Bosman sr.

A must see, if you love vintage aircraft. Very intresting history about Alberta aviation history........

Jana

I went here for the Rock And Mineral Show which was so amazing btw!! But I have been to the actual museum before and it's great to learn about our history and tidbits about different types of aircrafts

Vasya Omelchuk (VO IMAGES)

Nice place to visit!!

Stephen McLean

The staff were friendly, the exhibits wonderful, and the gift shop has some actually cool stuff. My 2 year old son LOVED the little plane with the Aerial Tour of Edmonton. We couldn't get him away from it.

Andrew Bend

Great place if you love history or airplanes

Owen Olsen

It was very fun. The planes almost look like they haven’t been restored and the flight simulators are very detailed, I found this experience very fun to me and I enjoyed my visit here. If you want to take someone to a museum this is a great place to go! Thank you so much for adding so much information to the signs near the planes. My favourite was the VOODOO plane outside. I recommend this place. Thanks

Phung Le

Great museum with so many models of planes

Rosein O'Connor

Totally enjoyed my visit to the Aviation Museum. Really interesting to see all the planes that were used by Canadian pilots throughout the years. Staff was well informed and so polite. Would recommend this to my family and friends.

Robert Lundin

Fantastic and solid collection of aircraft and historical and technological artefacts. Lovely people working there. Happened to be there on an so called open cockpits days which was a blast!

Tim Malott

Try there virtual reality plane

Troy Bates

Really good restorations. Very good price. If you're interested in Canadian aviation this is a must visit. One change I would make would be to add steps to the cockpits of the fighters like what the have in the aerospace museum in Calgary so you can see the cockpit and the controls of the plane.

Dustin Walker

The night market was fun.

James Dykstra

A first rate aviation museum that lets you get within inches of some cool, historically significant planes. The volunteers are friendly and really knowledgeable. Pump them for stories that aren't in the history books.

Peter Lewis

A gem of Edmonton I missed for so long

Andrei D. Roman

Loved it

강현정

(Translated) It was a nice place to go with the kids. It was a place that made me interesting even though I didn't care about the plane. It's also a place where you can convey the history of war and think deeply. Free under 6 years old. Like it was an adult $ 12. (Original) 아이들과 가볍게 갈수 있는 장소 였어요. 비행기에 대한 관심이 없었어도 흥미를 갖게 하는 장소였어요. 전쟁의 역사도 전달해줘서 한번더 깊이 생각하게 만드는 곳이예요. 6세미만은 공짜. 어른 $12 이었던듯.

Elizabeth Cruickshank

Definitely a lot of Canadian history preserved here. There is much to see so will have to go back. Tuesdays and Thursdays you can earn a out the restoration process. Interesting g place even if you are not a big aviation fan.

Christopher Babcock

The guides were very informative! The displays are very well done.

Andy Kuiper

Small, good for a short visit - enjoyed seeing the older planes :-)

Ronald Cook

Excelllent history of aviation but on the 2 visits I've taken my grandkids to, one time we had an almost personal assistant however the 2nd visit we had ti search for help and we weren't allowed to enter a couple exhibits. The aircraft simulator is much more realistic then the home games as professed by my eldest grandson lol.

Trade Golf

Getting pretty good. Lots of info on the planes....

Vikas Sood

Small but attractive

Parker C

Excellent museum and the staff while touring was excellent. Unfortunately our group did a parachute activity and the instructions were not super clear so my staff had to help almost every child build their parachute.

Demétrios C

Excellent place to visit, I liked a lot!!! Alberta Aviation Museum is one place that kids will get crazy. We went there a little before Halloween, and was all decorated and games to play. They have an amazing planes collection and historical pieces. The Alberta Aviation Museum is place to go, I recommend to everybody who wants to get fun with family!!!

Dan Iliescu

All heroes of flight are present in the Museum with fine perfection. Some rivals such as Red Baron of the world wars are also there refurbish aircraft to excellence. The Dehavilland Vampire being the favorite of jet aircraft however thought none might be there are a few or around 5 fairly good jet aircraft there. Good job!

Hernan PD

Nice place!!! Very interesting.

Chantelle Malo (TeslaGirl.Canada)

A great museum to learn about Alberta's aviation history.

Javier Torres

A bit dusty, but great place to spend an afternoon

Jordan D Nelson

Thoroughly awesome.

sahana Bapat

Good collection of old warplanes. The price is lil high just to see them. It would be nice if there are more war simulations than having only a little one which is more for kids. Adding some recent advanced plane models would make this place more wonderful.

Cait Drouin

Lots of information! Really nice staff.

Kerry “MacKinnon” Mathias

Very cool to see the history and the planes up close. I was there with preschoolers and they loved the plane that you could go into.

Emmanuel Gestopa

I loved this place I especially loved the Pacific Western Airlines Boeing 737-200 on display outside the museum, I got a tour of the cabin and the cockpit including most of the instruments! Too bad it had to close down and move to another airport...

Melanie St.Pierre

Cadets for my son

Abed Sneineh

Nice to visit

Sharon Tallmann

Plenty of historic planes with an emphasis of what part Alberta played in Aviation history.

Amanda Doppenberg

Volunteers here are awesome! It's obvious they're passionate about the museum, and are all very eager to talk to visitors and share their knowledge!

Dallin Backstrom

This is a small museum that does an excellent job of highlighting the history of aviation in Canada and the role that Edmonton had in that history. The displays are cared for by passionate volunteers and have been restored quite excellently.

Mai Huong

Very interesting museum, great people there to guide and tell you about airplanes, history of aviation...... small but very organized and well maintained museum.

Jason Courtepatte

beautiful collection of classic airplanes. Great for a date, or just to go visit some history. Would absolutely recommend

Kevin Crisp

If you love planes and history this is a place to check out. Lo e seeing the old plane es and learning the stories behind them.

Nathan O

A must see for anyone interested in history or airplanes. Volunteers bring their passion to the museum and bring history to life.

Carrie Friesen

What a cool place! The kids and I enjoyed a guided tour where we learned a lot of history and the mechanics of airplanes. A must see!

Joey Andres

Good collection of old planes. Something to be expected of Edmonton (not a military town and what not). That being said, there truly are great planes such the "Hirth", with interesting back story. Despite of being a modern military plane fan and I'm happy with my visit.

Paul Cooper

Nice display

little wolfie!

It could use an update honestly and the people there talk to slowly not much to do in there

Share Bear St. Pierre

So much knowledge there !

Andrew Flieder

Fun place to walk through with the kids and explore the rich history of the Edmonton and Northern Canada areas. A few interactive displays dotted throughout the museum keep the kids from getting bored.

Farrel Vriens

If you haven't been lately, I recommend stopping by! The displays have been greatly improved, with a strong focus on bringing Edmonton's surprisingly rich aviation history to life. When it's quiet, I'd swear you can hear the planes whispering...

Shaun Morin

Awesome history of Aviation in Canada's North and war time effort!!!

Kurtis WM

Good selection of planes to view and other cool older things you would expect to find in a aviation museum

Michel Buitendyk

Nice authentic historical plains.

Taylor Surman (Simmorill)

Amazing displays of aviation. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the docents are so good (shout out to Bruce, who told such great and touching stories about the Lethbridge Air Service plane). This is a great place for kids and #avgeeks alike.

Phong Lam

Great historical place and night market is a new good idea too!

MAHNOOR

It's a pretty cool place.

Dan Dromarsky

Great spot with rich history. And a cool flight simulator.

Aldi Cantinho

It's not a big museum, but it's so nice! And you can hear a lot of interesting histories from the staff if you get lucky.

Gary Nugent

Had a great tour from Stan. So great to see the Mosquito! I love the stories and the info on the placards is more detailed than you normally get at a museum. Was fun to.go inside one of the passenger planes, and imagine how shaky it must have been! Lots of bush pilot stuff I didn't know about.

Karl Ranta

Awesome! Talk to the volunteers walking around very helpful giving tons of useful info. Made the experience even better.

Eric D

Drove by for years and never bothered to stop in! Definitely a hidden gem.

Chris Semchuk

A must see, huge part of Edmonton's history as the gateway to the north.

Jack Morgan

Great displays---and a beautiful F-104.

Marshall D

Attended the rock and gem show. Inside was packed! Arrived early enough to get decent parking. When leaving, they had someone directing traffic into the secondary parking lot.

Annette Hard

The staff share the museum's interesting history and stories. Nice displays and some are interactive.

Dale

Really nice selection of aircraft

Darren C

Great place to visit. Lots of aviation history here. Volunteers put in their time here. A variety of aircraft covering time and types of planes. Most displays inside of course but a few outside as well. Gift shop on site. Washrooms on site. Lots of free parking.

Corey Bowen

Love this place very easy going and lots of history here!

Loren Gomez

Great but it needs renovations and updates.

The Travel Freak Soul

I loved the place. Must vist place if you are in Edmonton

Nicole Gustas

Wow, this museum exceeded my expectations! I'm not an airplane but by any means, but my partner is, so off we went. I was expecting merely displays with lots of technical information. Instead, every display put the plane into its historical context, told stories of the history of flight and Edmonton, and have me an understanding of how difficult early flight really was. (US airplane museums don't generally note that in cold climates, they had to remove all the fuel every night, and then put it back in warned up by a kerosene fire. WHAT?!?) I really enjoyed my time and I learned a lot. Bigger-budget museums could take a lesson from the storytelling in these displays.

Skizl

It was cool but we had to do a worksheet so that made it boring excluding that was amazing

Farhad Hossen Dhali

Old things are found here..

William Dent

We had a great time here. I love aviation and engineering so this is like being a kid in a candy store

Peeyoosha Prasad

Nice aviation museum. My daughter loves it and some of them military planes were awesome!!

Catalina T.

Quite interesting for aviation fans, very knowledgeable guide and cozy place.

Igal Imas

Nice place

Andrew Koning

Great place to bring the kids and learn about Edmonton's important contribution to aviation in Canada.

Francia Rojas

We really liked it. We would have loved to use more simulators though.

John Leighton-Morris

Fantastic original planes and accessories as well as replicas of Canada's flight past. Some European planes as well. Each instalment includes a written explanation and for some there's a motion activated voice explanation. You're given a map upon entry and the receptionist explains a bit. I don't know about service as we didn't participate in any tours.

Morgen Pronk

I had an amazing experience. The Volunteers were amazing and had a detailed knowledge about all of the planes and more. If you go, make sure you ask questions to get the full experience. Even the museum itself is an artifact with so much history. Will definitely go again.

Ninja Hamza

Great display... kids absolutely loved it

Hikaru Tsukino

Went to a mini market in the culture side. Lots of space and not crowded. Good variety of products from local crafters at great prices.

shamila kulatunga

Nice collection of planes. My favourite one is B 25 mitchell bomber. There are lot to explore

Alexey Baldygin

It is surprisingly big museum (good collection of Canadian aviation), and it is definitely worth to visit even with a kids. They have a few demo simulators, so that even teens will enjoy time in the museum.

Keltie Takes on The World

Awesome museum.

Kevin Rodgers

Love this muse staff is knowledgeable and accommodating

Andrew Dennison

Great Place for kids to be up and close to Canadian/Albertian history. They have these push carts like mini airplanes which your kid can ride. My boy just loved it. I recommend stopping by if you have some time to kill while waiting at the Royal Alexandra Hospital with children.

Tim Nurmi

Huge indoor display area!

Inga Niehoff

Went for a photography class, which was a very cool location for that. Great displays, friendly staff and volunteers.

Jeffrey Harrington

The museum had lots of information to back up the absolutely stunning life size (and real) planes from all ages and parts of the world. It was a truly great experience.

Galen Allen

Beautiful exhibits set up and very interactive, from old helicopter trainers to flight simulators. The place should have a loop playing of Wop May by Stomping Tom Conners

Pamela Carr

My 5 year old loves it here. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Rani Andresen

Silver Cove did a great job hosting the rock and Jem show last week

Kate Kobryn

Could be more entertaining for kids

Beth Baillie

My son loves it here!

Anton Epp

Quality displays!

Samantha Steen

Great place for kids! My boys enjoy it everytime we go.

Kristin R

If you even remotely think planes are cool... you gotta go!!! Their collection is incredible, and the staff are passionate and knowledgeable!

Elysha Schlichter

Not too exciting over all but I'd like to go back another time and actually learn a bit more I found it very fascinating. However we were on a school field trip so kids :).

Shannon MacNeill

A piece of aviation history

Keith McMaster

Great displays. Lots of tidbits about Canadian and northern aviation. Great looking displays ranging from bush pilots to modern commercial to military aircraft. There are a couple of "simulators " to try your hand at flying. Little souvenir shop with some cool gifts. There was a couple of volunteers wandering around answering questions and telling stories. Great place to go and spend a couple of hours. They have visiting days to view the restoration department, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Worth a look to see the new projects.

Bradley Bam

This is a must see when you are in Edmonton. Make sure you say hello to one of the many volunteers who have many cool stories and history facts to share.

ngando david (Ngando official)

Nice to visit not very busy

MK

Amazing place. Well laid out, lots of fantastic information, lots of different airplanes to view, the flight simulators are great. They also have these cute strollers that are hand made in different airplanes, they are adorable. Highly recommend visiting if in the Edmonton Area.

moon beam

One of my favorite events is held in this facility, Silver Cove Rock and Gem show. The two day event brings in a few other vendors of a variety of rocks, gems, minerals, jewelry, and so much more. The weekend had brought us beautiful sun shine, the facility had the doors open with a nice draft coming though, and a steady flow of people as well as good energy. Knowledgeable staff at till, and on floor helping members and interacting non stop. The selection and prices are very fair as well as the deals you get walking out of there! Simply unbeatable . Will continue to go back every year .

Ryan Boogmans-Smutt

This is one of the last pieces of history still standing from the days of the city center airport. Very interesting place to take small kids. I'm still sad that they didn't bring back air-fest, but it's still a very good place to spend a Saturday or Sunday at.

Pawel Stefanczyk

Great place to spend few hours with history of aviation. Randy gave us a great tour through the museum.

Rugs Match

Nice place of history, if a tad specific.

Doug McLeod

Great collection of planes

Kevin Rundle

Very knowledgeable staff and volunteers great collection that showcases aviation in Alberta.

Jaspal Phull

Good for kids. But not very clean facility.

Chris Anderson

Awesome museum! Great displays and they offer kids programs as well! A great place to spend an afternoon. It's one of a few of the buildings from the airport that used to be there as well.

Lisa Rochon

Brought my son here. We learned so much about aviation and what Alberta has contributed to the skies!

Joey Santiago

Great displays. Awesome staff. Really neat to check out. Took the kids and discovered it all!!!

Great piece of history

Patrick O'Rourke

Great place.

Kristy Higgins

Visited the Rock & Gem show. Was great.

N and C Dekker

Great place, very knowlegable staff. Very passionate about what they do. Fun for the whole family!

General Service

Great 2 hours

Janice Overend

Great museum and displays, they even had a bee keeping initiative demonstration. I really think this place would benefit from an audio tour guide or app, just because there is so much history that could be shared more interactively instead of reading plaques.

Vito Azevedo

Beautiful planes and knowledgeable guides

Anthony Cinilia

Enjoyed all the information and static displays.

Andrew Sterne

Good small aviation museum.

christopher picard

Cheap for a museum, with flight simulators and planes you can sit in.

Daniel Juan Toral

Quiet old and small

Den Konakov

Expositions there are state of arts! Very nice and knowledgeable staff to help you. One of the best museum in Canada in my opinion.

Penelope Puhlmann

My sons love airplanes, and the Edmonton Aviation Museum is the place to find them. The staff who were there talked to my autistic son for over half an hour. My autistic son is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to airplanes and he had a great time.

Johanne Close

Spent a wonderful afternoon there. Well worth it.

Kari Douglas

Went to a wedding ceremony here. And was pleasantly surprised with how cool this place is. I highly recommend checking this out !

Kevin German

Well presented exhibits

allan letendre

Good Canadian heritage

Our Son Paolo

Awesome visit

Lana Koshkareva (Lana)

Great staff, awesome professional expo. Love it

Laurent Preto

(Translated) Small but very interesting because it bears witness to the history of Canada and Alberta through several aircraft often restored by volunteers crazy about aviation ... moving (Original) Petit mais très intéressant car témoigne de l'histoire du Canada et de l'Alberta a travers plusieurs aéronefs souvent restaurés par des bénévoles fous d'aviation...émouvant

Richard Skermer

Much improved!!!!

Aman Dharamshot

Good collection of all the vintage jets. Recommend to visit.

James

Very interesting facts, really enjoyed seeing their mosquito on display

Ludo

Great place to visit.

Benj Deck

It was a pleasure coming here for the first time. It's a hidden beauty of Edmonton. My only complain is, there should be a time limit in playing their airplane video game for other kids. My son had been waiting for almost half an hour, but the family had been playing for almost an hour. Still, had an awesome time for my son's birthday trip to museum.

True history

Trevor Uitvlugt (ArcticTurbine)

Excellent display of vintage aircraft. Focuses on the history of Edmonton Aviation.

Shannon Remanda

Really great museum with loads of artifacts and interesting things to see. Went during Covid and it was organized and staff were very helpful. Great to learn about the history of Blatchford, Squadron 418, Airlines and bush pilots that helped build Edmonton!

Gareth Rosser

An amazing collection of restored aircraft, in the beautifully preserved Blatchford hanger. Most aircraft are presented with their history and unique ties to Canada and the Edmonton airport.

David Cuyler

Very good experience. I didn't realize how well done the displays were until today. It gives a very good picture of early aviation in Alberta, and gives anyone who is interested a very good jumping off point. The building itself is very appropriate, and adds to the experience. It meshes well with Reynolds-Alberta in Wetaskiwin and other Aviation museums in Western Canada. It is something we can be proud of!

Asad “Arcane”

A wonderful and we'll curated aviation musuem with extremely beautiful planes on display.

Elliott Mah

Neat displays. Worth a trip out there.

There are also a few interactive flight simulators that the kids really enjoyed. Definitely worth checking out.

Jonathan Macqueen

This is more for people who have a nack for planes otherwise I would not recommend as it is pricey and very little to do for a 2 year old...... How ever if you are interested in the old war planes and just want to see it it's ok but still expensive for what it really is. Hole it helps

There is lots of parking and they are currently renovating the entrance/gift shop so they will have a much bigger gift shop in the future. There are many static displays to view, some interactive including 2 flight simulators. The Staff are all volunteer and friendly, more than willing to share their knowledge of any display you are interested in. We were viewing one display about women in the Canadian Air Force and ran into one lady who looked like the featured person of the display. She said 'That's because that is me!'. Pretty cool experience to actually meet the person you were just reading about from history!!!

Ali Basha

I love this place and the information I got from the people working there. I think this was the remarkable time my father in-law had in Alberta as he never visit Edmonton before. He came in the winter but this place made his trip worth the Extreme cold ????. I recommend you to visit the Alberta aviation museum as its has great Canadian history.

Matt Elder

Very nice ! Displays in museum are very welcome done and you can tell that a lot of care went into the museum .Thank you ! If anyone is travelling to Edmonton ..please go and support a part of our war history ????

Excellent museum and great staff - thanks to the Mancunian volunteer who showed this Yorkshire lad around the exhibits! Go on a Tuesday or Thursday (I believe) to see what's being worked on in the restoration hangar.

Vincenzo Ricatto

Learned lots. Had lots of fun on the flight simulators

Emma Bonsall

Lots more to see than we expected. Pleased to see important topics like women and Minorities/Indigenous people in Aviation spoken about. Excellent array of aircraft and hands on flight simulation was a great hit with the kids.
