Plan to set aside a few hours to truly enjoy this aviation gem located in the Quinte area. Over 35 aircraft on-site provide guests with an up close and personal “flying machine” experience, the crowning glory being the fully restored, Second World War, Halifax bomber. Over 75,000 square feet of display space attached to a sprawling 16-acre air park. While the museum is a self-guided attraction, if you are in luck, a past or current serving military member of Canadian Air Force would be happy to share their stories with visitors of all ages. Recommended to anyone interested in history or aerospace engineering.
