Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada
An aviation museum beside Winnipeg's airport that moved into a new building in 2022, displaying northern bush planes, jet fighters and the history of aviation pioneers.
This museum holds one of Canada's most important civil aviation collections, focusing on how bush pilots opened up the North with seaplanes and ski planes. The new building displays more than twenty aircraft, including Canada's first home-designed helicopter, parts of an Avro Canada jetliner and the CF-101 fighter, along with flight simulators and a children's interactive area. Admission is about C$20, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is beside Winnipeg International Airport, about 15 minutes' drive from downtown.
