Come in out of the rain and spend some time checking out aviation history on display. Our winter hours are 11am to 3pm daily, except closed Christmas and New year's day. #yyj #yyjairport #museum

Have you looked inside our Vickers Viscount to see what air travel was like in the past? You'll be envious of the roominess and comforts of vintage air travel compared to the average airliner today. Stop in and see it for yourself as well as all our other interesting displays throughout the museum. We are on winter hours schedule now 11am to 3pm daily until April 30. Closed Christmas and new year's day only.
