Reviews of Montreal Aviation Museum (Museum)

Alexis Phillion

Too backward to have debit or credit to pay for entry. Had to turn around.

(Translated) Really surprising this little museum. We learn a lot about Montreal's role in the aeronautical industry in Canada, taking off during the Second World War. Volunteers introduce us to Canada's aircraft models and aerial history. Germain was our guide and it was as if we had access to a living encyclopedia. Well done. (Original) Vraiment surprenant ce petit musée. On y apprend énormément sur le rôle de Montréal dans l'industrie aéronautique au Canada, prenant son essor lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Des bénévoles nous font découvrir les modèles d'avions et l'histoire aérienne du Canada. Germain était notre guide et c'est comme si nous avions accès à une encyclopédie vivante. Bravo.

(Translated) The staff are very friendly, they know their history well and I learned a lot. Very interesting to see the old planes (replicas and origin) and all other objects from the great wars. Worth the distance! (Original) Le personnel est très sympathique, ils connaissent bien leur histoire et j’ai beaucoup appris. Très intéressant de voir les anciens avions (répliques et d’origine) et tout autres objets d’époque des grandes guerres. Vaut la distance!

My girlfriend and I had visited the museum last year, I have been meaning to go back. The place has alot of items and information. You definitely leave with a large amount of knowledge surrounding the history of aviation. Definitely a place I would recommend checking out.

(Translated) It's a wonderful museum because there are so many types of planes that I have learned about types of planes. That's wonderful ! (Original) C'est un musée magnifique parce que ilya tellement de types d'avions que j'ai apris des types d'avions. C'est magnifique !

Matei Anghel

Nothing extravagant, but nice if you're going for that small, rustic 'museum' feel. I work here as a volunteer on weekends.

tina damor

Volunteers offer great tours. Not a good place for young children but definitely worth a visit if you are interested in aviation history

(Translated) It's a bit small and everyone was busy so no visit really ... It's a shame (Original) C'est un peu petit et tout le monde était occupé donc pas eu de visite vraiment... C'est dommage

(Translated) ... the kids liked the flight simulator (Original) ... les enfants ont aimé le simulateur de vol

John Hussey

This is one of the best kept gems in Montreal. This is a working museum. You can see aircraft being built from the original blueprints. This is great for children and anyone with an interest in Canada's significant role in aviation history.

Eva Chan

Quaint little Aviation museum maintained by volunteers. Guided tours are available by their knowledgeable volunteers who are mostly retirees with aviation background. Great for kids and aviation enthusiasts who went to get up close to some of the pieces they have restored or are currently restoring.

Karim Roukoz

Not your typical museum. It's more of an aircraft restauration workshop run by passionate volunteers exhibiting their work. There wasn't a lot of people when I was visiting so they took their time and shared awesome stories with me. The museum also has what is probably the largest aviation library in Canada.

Gérard Fortrie

(Translated) Museum to see, I came across a team of enthusiasts. They renovate or rather they rebuild planes. I came across Andre, a nice passionate guy, he showed me his simulator he built of himself. Congratulations to the team. (Original) Musée a voir , je suis tombée sur une équipe de passionnés . Ils rénovent ou plutôt ils reconstruisent des avions. Je suis tombée sur André , un chouette type passionné , il m'a montré son simulateur qu'il a construit de lui même. Bravo à l équipe .

This is a nice little place you can find on the island of Montreal. It is located on the experimental farm of McGill university or the MacDonald campus. The size of the place is rather small so there is not a lot of aircraft collection. What it entails is the local history of all aviation pioneers in the early part of the century of aviation. Very educational.

This museum deserves five stars for their effort with time and money that's spent to provide us with amazingly great info on the history of flight.

(Translated) If it's too old, I recommend it for free. (Original) 너무나도 낡은 시설 공짜라면 한번 추천 돈 내고는 아까운 박물관

Steve Farnworth

More than just shiny old airplanes. You can see their construction get up close.

Simon Abitbol

Went in sort of not expecting anything too out of the ordinary and came out sockless. They were blown off. Guided tour was amazing, learned a huge amount. Can't recommend enough if you're even remotely interested in history and aviation.

Chantal Duchesne

(Translated) Very beautiful sight! This living museum is exceptional. Volunteers work in front of you at the aircraft restorations. moreover, guides are generous with their aviation experiences. Real passionate! A beautiful museum that is worth the detour! The old planes and works of art are of a high quality! Congratulations on this beautiful treasure. (Original) Très belle viste! Ce musé vivant est exceptionel. Les bénévoles travaillent devant vous à la restaurations des avions. de plus les guides sont généreux de leurs expériences en aviation. De vrai passionné! Un beau musé qui vaut le detour! Les avions anciens et oeuvres d'art sont d'une grande qualité! Félicitation pour ce beau trésor.

Tracii Baines

I was not expecting much when I went to this museum located in an old barn on McGill's St Anne's campus, but I must say, I'll be going back again! Run by volunteers, we were given a guided tour, available in English or French, by André. He was extremely knowledgeable in everything aviation. The tour starts downstairs with incredible paintings and models of the different aircraft from the beginning of manned flight. Then we moved upstairs where a few actual aircraft, parts and more models were located. You can see several replicas and restorations in progress and meet the people working on them. If you're interested in aviation make sure to visit. Open Monday, Tuesday and Saturday.

Bruce McLeod

A wonderful aviation museum with dedicated, passionate and friendly volunteers happy to share their knowledge of Quebec/Canada's aviation heritage. An incredible aviation art gallery, flight simulators, half a dozen aircraft on display, artefacts and memorabilia, and workshops where the volunteers are actually working on building or restoring airplanes! Great for kids and you can count on a couple of hours to visit everything.

André P.R. Hammond

Highly recommend a visit.... Skilled and dedicated volunteers,(Will see them in action) work hard to rebuild in detail, past aircraft,from original design and parts.

The Montreal Aviation Museum is an hidden gem. The collection is small but of a rare quality, from the beginning of Aviation in Montreal to the 50, 60's . They have also the largest aviation art gallery in the country, largest the one in Ottawa.

TheLotusrising

Guide was knowledgeable space had stuff for kid's and in spite of its small size a great collection

Matias Fontecilla

This hidden gem holds several relics that tell the story of the unsung heroes behind the evolution of Canadian aviation. This museum (read: workshop) has something for everybody, whether it is a magnificent art collection, jet engines, full scale airplanes..you may even find a rather strange looking Model T!

Fun activity for the kids on a snowy day.

Mariya Kolomeyets

Amazing knowledgeable people work there. So much passion and love for aviation. Basically the whole place is built on passion. And people who work there they share their knowledge and experience and by the end of the tour you want to become a part of their team, built, create, explore and make the museum more popular and to have more people and kids come there, have the interest in aviation.

Benoît desRochettes

(Translated) A great visit with Germain who made us discover the passion of all these volunteers! (Original) Une super visite avec Germain qui nous a fait découvrir la passion de tous ces bénévoles !

Elio Gallazzi

(Translated) It is a place not very big, but full of history especially of Quebec, with emphasis on the performance of the Canadian pilots during the second war. A group of volunteers helps in the reconstruction of historical aircraft, as well as to accompany visitors and give explanations and anecdotes of the exposed elements, from the Bleriot of 1910 to the current F-18 models in service. If you are passionate about aviation and its history, I highly recommend it. (Original) Es un lugar no muy grande, pero lleno de historia especialmente de Quebec, con enfasis en la actuacion de los pilotos canadienses durante la segunda guerra. Un grupo de voluntarios ayuda en la recostrucción de aviones historicos, así como de acompañar a los visitantes y dar explicaciones y anecdotas de los elementos expuestos, desde el Bleriot de 1.910 hasta los modelos de F-18 actuales en servicio. Si eres un apasionado de la aviación y su historia, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Julie Duquette

(Translated) We arrive in front of the museum on a Monday 10am, it is indicated as open at 9am and we find ourselves in the rain in front of a barred door! I call and a lady answers me in English and is unable to speak French. Although I speak English, the situation made me so angry that I dropped it! A total lack of respect! We did not visit and we will not be back! (Original) On arrive devant le musée un lundi 10h, c'est indiqué comme ouvert a 9h et on se retrouve sous la pluie devant une porte barré! J'appelle et une dame me répond en anglais et est incapable de parler français. Bien que je parle anglais, la situation m'a tellement fâché que j'ai laisser tomber! Un manque total de respect! Nous n'avons pas visiter et nous ne reviendrons pas!

Just visited the museum out of curiosity, not really my kind of thing so it was difficult to say if the displays were impressive or not. Otherwise it was still nice to learn about planes along with their history.
