    This place was found by chance in a Google search. There were plenty of exhibition space indoors and outdoors, and the guide had a great experience. It is located near London International Airport and it was good experience to hear the sound of a jet engine.

    This was a fantastic museum to go to! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. I learned so much about history. They also have high performance simulator for $20 for 25mins flight! Make sure to call ahead of time to book a time for a tour. Highly recommended!

    Had an excellent time at this museum. Run voluntarily by members who are very knowledgeable. Must book ahead of time. Museum is a working workshop where aircrafts are being worked on by engineers hence guided tours only. Well worth a visit.

    Had an absolutely cracking visit here today with a personal tour by an RCAF jet veteran. Aircraft are very accessible and the museum is well laid out with plenty of good information for novices and experts alike. Aircraft on display include RCAF CT-133s in various states of preservation, an RAF Jet Provost, RAF Hunter T.Mk.7 and CF-101 Voodoo. A great place for anyone wishing to learn about the history of jet aircraft from enthusiastic and highly knowledgeable volunteers. Cockpit-sitting in a CF-133 is encouraged and provides a great photo opportunity. A real gem of a museum and highly recommended!

    London’s Jet Aircraft Museum is an unexpectedly exciting place for anyone who is interested in aviation. It’s actually run by a charity organization which does an amazing job there to restore old aircrafts and collecting many other aviation related interesting pieces with a great story. The museum is in a very real operating hangar and it’s Transport Canada regulated, so the tours must be guided by their staff. We were lucky to have Scott (the president of the organization) to guide us around and tell all the amazing stories about every piece on display. He is also an expert on the history of aviation and Canadian jet aircrafts, we are enlightened now! Thanks for keeping the legacy of extinct aircrafts and their stories alive! Highly recommended.

    There's a lot of information about jets. My tour guide (Christine) was detailed and patiently answered questions, and I value the time I spent there.

    today we visited this museum, it was an incredible time. our guide spent a lot of time with us and told us about all the interesting facts. the son was completely delighted when he sat at the helm of the plane. The museum exists on donations. this place is a must visit, interesting for all ages.

    Absolutely AMAZING tour! A must see with family, friends and even a great trip if you're not staying in London. We visited London for the weekend (group of 16) and this tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The guides were amazing. Our kids got their own guide (Capt Ken) who spent the entire time educating them and keeping them interested in learning more. The adults got a tour with Christine, who was extremely knowledgeable and patient with our many questions. We got to see (and sit in a jet) planes, jets, and so much more.

    Thank you for such a lovely tour today! My daughter is OBSESSED with airplanes and it was wonderful to get a private tour (as a walk in no less!). She got to sit in an actual plane and see one being worked on as well as see a real plane getting ready for take off! It is free to go in but runs on donations- awesome place to take your kids (toddlers too) thanks again it will be a visit we will always remember and definitely coming back!

    Jim was the tour guide. He really explained the history as it was passing before your eyes. Kids will know the difference between a boring museum and the in-living museum here. We felt the best experience. The veterans are really doing a great job there. I didn’t knew that the NASA’s Apollo lander was having legs brought from Montreal. 😇

    A quick visit became an informative visit. Curiosity of the museum was satisfied by Ken. Quite informative with bits of Cold War history. If you are quite immersed with jet history, you will have a good chat with Ken. A nice visit if you wish to spend about 1 or 2 hours. Will visit again in the future.

    This was a great museum to visit! I learned so much about history, physics, flight practices, engineering, and the Canadian military in one place! Our tour guide was an extremely knowledgeable former pilot and school teacher and gave us a 24 karat guided tour - it was absolutely exquisite. This is definitely in the top three aircraft museums I have visited, and we’ve been to quite a good many in Canada and the USA! I can’t say enough good things about our visit here!

    What an awesome place to take my four year old son. Ken was a wonderful tour guide. Very engaging and informative. Loved getting a chance to sit in the cockpit of a piece of history.

  • 5/5 Christina L. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing tour this weekend in this museum with Captain Ken Kennedy, who was a pilot for his whole life. His passion for airplane was contagious and inspiring and his exceptional knowledge of Jet Aircraft made the tour so educational!! The whole family including my 10 years old learned so much with fun. One hour past like 10 second...Then Capt. Kennedy gave us another 30 minutes after closing time, patiently explained more and more to my son. He was so kind. It worthes everything to let your children to hang around with such wonderful person, and they will get inspired! Captain Kennedy was the spirit and soul of that museum that afternoon, who made all the paintings, pictures and sleeping engines alive!

    Had a great time with Captain Ken. Really knowledge guy and happy to share his information in a fun and informative way. They also are dog friendly!

  • 5/5 Justin D. 10 months ago on Google
    Very interesting and informative. Capt. Ken a retired jet pilot had lots of stories and facts to share, which made it a very enjoyable experience.

    My son and I had an absolute blast at the JAM! Our tour guide was incredibly informative and helpful. The museum operates on donations, not a set entrance fee. We were able to see an engine being worked on, sit in cockpits and mock ups; but the real icing on the cake for us was the Flight Simulator's, a guaranteed memory, and for just $20 each it was incredible. To emphasize how much fun this was, the night before we were at a large gaming facility with trampolines and obstacle courses, but the Jet Aircraft Museum topped that for my son. I STRONGLY suggest you visit this hidden gem and give them the support to keep educating the community!
