Canada Aviation and Space Museum

The Canada Aviation and Space Museum is home to an extensive collection of aircraft and artefacts that chronicle Canada’s aviation history, housed in a sprawling complex near the Ottawa River. Highlighting over 130 aircraft, visitors can see significant machines like the Avro Arrow and various military and civilian planes from different eras. Allocate a few hours to explore the various exhibits, including interactive displays and a flight simulator. The museum is less crowded on weekdays, making it an ideal time to visit. Nearby attractions include the Ottawa River pathways and the Canadian Museum of History just across the river.
