As a flight enthusiastic person, this has been one of my favorite museums so far! The collection is beautiful, the people are friendly and everyone is so enthusiastic! We especially enjoyed following around Doug one of the volunteer tour guides. He was full of fun stories, interesting facts and had answers to all of our questions!
Had a fantastic morning visiting this museum! We were on a time crunch, but we had enough time to take a tour of the Hawaii Mars and get lost in conversation with some very knowledgeable volunteers. It's incredible to see this piece of aviation history in such good hands.
We went to entertain my niece since she is currently fascinated by airplanes, but stayed for hours because there was so much to do and see. So interactive for the kids, and the guided tours were fun and full of fun facts! We'll definitely be back.
We got tours on the massive water bomber. The interactive kid area is wonderful. I sat in a fighter jet. Found the old Marconi Canada radio from World War 2. My dad worked for Marconi Canada for years. Was great to show him the photo. The staff are wonderful. I'll go again!
I always hit an aviation museum when on vacation. Always something I have never seen before. Great museum.and very friendly and knowledgeable people.
If you into the aircraft’s and history, this is the right place. This museum has a huge collection of aeroplanes from old era to new, apart from that there are other gadgets from world war era which fascinates you that how far technology grew up. De Venici ornithoper, Canute type glider and hawks look primitive but it makes you think how does it even work and there is a explanation of everything given by great knowledgable volunteers who are helping the visitors by sharing their knowledge. I wish I could have clicked more photos but I so mesmerized by these antiques. They do have small shop to buy souvenir from where you can buy gifts for your friends and family.I hope I will visit to this place again.
This museum is amazing. From the historic exhibits to the aircraft through to the restoration shop and finally out to the guided viewing of the Mars water aircraft. No matter your age, there is the opportunity to experience history and hands on fun for children and adults alike. Bravo to the volunteers snd staff for this superb aviation museum!
Great place to visit every few years as the static displays can change over time when they get new exhibits or restore different aircraft. We have not gone again to see the new Hawaii Mars yet but will in the spring. For our last visit, the Bristol Bolingbroke and 3/4 Spitfire replica were my favorites.
