Alberta Aviation Museum
An aviation museum housed in a wooden hangar from World War II, with more than 30 historic aircraft on display.
The Alberta Aviation Museum sits beside the former Edmonton City Centre Airport. Its exhibition building is a two-story wooden hangar built in 1942 for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, and the building itself is a heritage site. More than 30 aircraft are on display, ranging from early bush planes and WWII bombers to Cold War jet fighters. The museum tells the story of Edmonton's aviation history as the 'Gateway to the North,' and visitors can also see the restoration workshop. Admission is about C$15. It is about 5 km from downtown and reachable by bus.
