It was poignant coming here on Anzac Day and seeing and talking to some of the WW2 veterans. This is an interesting place to come and learn about the history of the RNZAF and the development of aviation. I’m amazed at the courage of those early aviators and what they were prepared to fly in. The kids enjoyed the Mosquito... More

A very well done museum, both informative and fun. Good for all ages, take advantage of the guided tours as well as the new behind the scenes look at the history of the RNZAF and some the planes. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A must see if you are into aircraft , and its free its well worth a visit . Excellent displays and range of planes , staff are very freindly and well informed .

Although the museum is free we made it just in time to do a tour of the restoration workshops which costs $10pp. After a little while I even found myself... More

Not only Christchurch but all of New Zealand can be so proud of this wonderful museum. Being ex RAAF (1960 - 66) The various aircraft on display brought back so many memories of times spent on various RAAF bases including Butterworth in Malaya. The Bietnam era represented by the famous Huey's andf the dedicated staff who were only too happy... More

This Airforce Museum is located inside a thriving suburb of Wigram. It used to be a Military Airforce until it's been converted into a residential suburb after the onslaught of earthquakes. The Museum is nowadays been used as conference venues as Christchurch is badly in need of one. There's hardly anything for you to see. Forgetful...
