Tours

The aircraft and exhibits in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum are arranged to guide a visitor along a “Walkway of Time” that traces the history of aviation and highlights Canada’s contributions. There are many ways of discovering this unique collection but the most popular is, without a doubt, a general guided tour of either one of our facilities.

Museum Guided Tours

Discover the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s superb collection. Follow the tour and learn more about the story of our beautiful flying machines. This is the ideal “flypast” of the entire Museum. Individual visitors are invited to join in as part of their museum experience when the tours are announced throughout the day (subject to change without notice). Tours are available throughout the year for groups however, advance reservations are required. Please click on the Reserve button to fill out an online reservation request for groups.

The cost for a Museum guided tour for individuals is included with the general admission fees. Group rates can be found in the Museum guided tours fees table at the bottom of this page.
