Canada Aviation and Space Museum
per person
Located on a former military air base just five kilometers from the Prime Minister’s residence at 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, the museum focuses on aviation in Canada within an international context – from its beginnings in 1909 to today and it’s Canada’s national aviation history museum.
As Canada’s contribution to aviation expanded to include aerospace technology, the museum’s collection and mandate grew to include space flight. The collection itself consists of more than 130 aircraft and artifacts (propellers, engines) from both civil and military service.The most extensive aviation collection in Canada, it is also considered one of the finest aviation museums in the world.
Among the museum’s highlights are the largest surviving pieces of the famous Avro Arrow (its nose section and two wing tips), the original Canadarm used on the Endeavour space shuttle, the Lancaster bomber from the Second World War, and Life in Orbit: The International Space Station exhibition.
Visitors MUST purchase their tickets online in advance of their visit.
