Took my 3 year old son there this past weekend and he had a great time. You need to hook up with one of the volunteers to be able to sit in the planes, but that wasn't a problem. My son asked me a question that I couldn't answer so we went to ask a volunteer. Next thing I knew... More

I really enjoy going here but have to admit that it is not really a great place to take children under 8 years or so. You also really have to enjoy looking at planes but if you do it is definately worth going to and even getting a membership.

Attending a conference recently in Hamilton, we were treated to a visit to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. It was phenomenal! Really, if you're going to visit Hamilton or Burlington, make time for a visit here. You won't be sorry! I was equally thrilled to actually see the Lancaster fly over our hotel the following afternoon.

An amazing day shared with friends and family! The staff and volunteers went above and beyond for our special day. The food was absolutely incredible - hot, tasty and such a variety - including options for dietary needs (gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy free etc.....). The staff was very polite and organized. Set up and decorations were completely awesome - did not... More

What amazed me most was the fact that there were many propeller aircrafts that were airworthy and the volunteers are working hard to get rest of them to fly.

this is a well kept secret hidden away in Hamilton. The museum has interactive displays and an amazing collection of flying vintage aircraft. With one of two remaining flying Lancasters in the world, it is a must see.

All the exhibits are wonderfully restored and exhibited. Plan on taking at least a half day. Children are welcome and in awe of being able to climb in some of the exhibits.

This display of vintage planes is amazing. Such a lot of hard work restoring these planes by volunteers is such a labor of love. I also visited one other time when they hosted the Canadian Woodworking Show a few years ago. Great place for families to visit.

This is a working museum where old war birds are restored. They have numerous working planes that are available for flights (at a nominal fee). They have the only working Lancaster and it is available for flights, what a gift for a plan buff. Kids will love the displays and chatting with the people that are doing the restorations. Great...
