From the Ottawa World / Places

Canada Aviation and Space Museum

Aircraft and space exhibits occupy hangars at the Rockcliffe airport site, northeast of central Ottawa. The collection follows Canadian flight through civilian, military, and northern aviation.

Why go

Full-size aircraft make design changes visible in a way that photographs cannot. Compare wings, engines, and cockpits across eras, then consider how distance and climate shaped Canadian bush flying. The hangar setting suits a focused museum excursion rather than a quick addition to a Parliament Hill walk.

What to look for

  • Rows of full-size aircraft in broad hangars
  • Contrasting wing and cockpit designs

Useful to know

  • Plan transport to the Rockcliffe site and check current exhibition access before leaving downtown.
