The Hangar Flight Museum

Great museum and amazing history of aviation in Calgary area. This is a must visit for travelers as well as locals

The museum is very good. It has lots of old planes, fighter planes, air crafts and engines. The place is neat and clean. The staff is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting it with kids.

I went to a concert here, but the museum looks really cool though, planning on coming back during regular hours

Everytime I'm here, although for work. It's a treat. I get to see many things my eyes have never ever seen and your entire team is awesome.
Thanks for allowing me access
See you next time. Hopefully I'm there for me, I'm fascinated truly with all this.
Cheers guys

My son and I have spent many an afternoon wondering around this wonderful museum. If you love planes, technology and history there's few better ways to spend an afternoon. My wife and I recently enjoyed a candle light concert here and it was a treat to enjoy great classical music surrounded by the amazing collection of planes.

It is a quiet, quaint museum. The staff are very friendly and we were able to go inside a bomber plane. Must see!

Great little museum with plenty of stories of local aviators and planes and a whole wall dedicated to the story of the Aero.

Great place, very knowledgeable guides. Try the bingo to find all of the items on the sheet. We were even able to enter an aircraft, today was the DHC-6 Twin Otter.

Good display of the first and other aircrafts. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to share their knowledge. If you like history and aircraft then you must visit this place.

Dad and myself went here for a rainy day activity. I was pretty impressed with the airplanes, engines, information about Calgary and how much of an influence it has been to the RCAF. It was very cool! I learned a lot and it was very cool seeing the bombers!

Beautiful venue for events as well. I was there for a wedding and it was incredibly beautiful. Definitely it would recommend looking into this option for yourself.

Good place for someone who is interested in air plane. Lots of nice volunteers who has lots of knowledge about aviations.

Came to watch a candlelight concert, what a cool experience that was. Love this place as the venue, very very unique experience.

Staff is very courteous. Great place to learn about history and aircrafts, if you are interested. Children are quite fascinated with the display.

Super cool facility with amazing aircraft and engines. Very knowledgeable and passionate staff. Highly recommend checking out if you are an airplane enthusiast!

We attended a candle lit classical music concert here. Never thought I would endorse a flight museum but here I am doing exactly that. A wrothwhile place to visit.

Took my son there on a weekday, he had a great time, I had a great time, the people are nice and the patrons are always very nice. There was a little girl who pretended to be a West jet stewardess and offered me and my son complimentary snacks at the WestJet exhibit.

10/10 would see again

Amazing museum, and a great venue for weddings and corporate events, especially for pilots

While on a work trip to Alberta this last week I had time to spare on Sunday so came here while I was waiting for my hotel room. I'm glad I did. I'm a huge aviation and student of WW II history. This museum is a fantastic hidden gem with a great collection and knowledgeable volunteers. Their engine collection is one of the better ones that I have seen. A must see for aviation fans who find themselves in Calgary.

I love all the history contained on site and dedication of all the volunteers that make each visit interesting and fun. Keep yp the grest work!

Cracking place for a visit. There is a great selection of aircraft and interesting stories behind them. The highlight is the Lancaster. Being able to get so close, under the bomb bay etc is very special.

Tickets cost about 30 CAD.

The museum is rich in artefacts (airplanes and stuff like that).

Every artefact has an explanatory note and helps the tourist with understanding the story behind each plane or artefact.

Don't forget to see the planes in the hangar!

Took my 11 year old here and had a lot of fun. If you or your kids love planes, you'll enjoy this place. Lots of history, don't be afraid to ask the staff on the floor questions.they'll have the answers! Now my son wants to learn to fly.lol

My wife and I loved this place until one of the staff with TDS, (Trump Derangement Syndrome), started talking about his dislike of Trump. We visited the museum to see and enjoy the exhibits, not to hear a bitter old man rant about the ex president of the USA. I have no idea why he even started telling us about Trump. Apart from that bizarre encounter, this is a wonderful museum with knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff. I've given it 2 stars purely on that staff member's inappropriate behaviour, otherwise it would've been 5 stars all the way.

Decent pricing for admission- very very cool place to go and learn more about avaiation.guides around to help you learn and lots of different items to view.good place to bring the family for a fun great exciting time.took my nephew here and he loved every second- hopefully a future pilot

It's basically 2 hangers with a few old planes in there. Cool spot to checkout if you are new to the city.

Nice little spot! Went there as kids, so we decided to take our kids there. Pricing is reasonable, and there is a lot of cool stuff inside. I would like to go back again just to read up on a lot of things. Kids enjoyed it. You can't get in any planes tho like you used to. Perhaps due to covid.

We had a nice afternoon out with our son who loves planes and helicopters. There's a lot of history to explore packed into the two buildings and would recommend for families.

A truly fantastic place to visit! The museum is great for aviation and history buffs alike. It is really a shame how little attention this location receives. Visiting provides the opportunity to marvel at the engineering of aircraft and recall the valiant sacrifices of those Canadians that came before us. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Might be a bit boring for young children if they are not into planes, but adults and older children will certainly appreciate all this place has to offer. Can't wait to visit again!

A great many contributions and thoughtful detail have been put into creating a space that not only allows one to see but also to expand their knowledge and understanding of the kind of lives lived and how they were affected as they did their jobs using the planes, helicopters and many other techniques and implements. Very informative and interesting. Well done.
Our family of six went Sunday afternoon and were the only visitors on site. We spent approximately 2 hours visiting the facilities. One of our own was very knowledgeable and so added a great deal of expanded information and feel as we toured.
Overall a very memorable and enjoyable experience.

It's decent size of aeroplane history museum. Must visit once in life. They got lot number of plane and helicopter inside. Staff was really friendly and gentle as well. You can actually touch the engine and planes.

Like places or engines definitely your place. Very informative volunteers definitely spend time with them they have so much information to share. Highly recommended to go with kids as a family day.

This place is a great place to visit with kids! It's a mix of educational and interactive. There's an aisle of a WestJet plane that you can sit in. There's a large selection of old planes that you can see, as well as engines of all kinds. We will surely be back! The gift shop is reasonable as well.

If you love planes, this is the place to be! So many cool and amazing displays. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Dwight, you are the man! Way to point out the woman chief engineer who was in charge of Hurricane project! Thank you!

Not busy, easy to find and had cool stuff. Not much for interactive though. That could be because of covid though.

Awesome hidden gem by the airport. Who kmew so many roads in Calgary are named after historical aviators.

Clean and well maintained. Some great collections of planes and related items. Kids loved it and staff were very friendly even though my kids were being rambunctious.

It's a very large museum and has huge plans in it. I think the boys were a bit too young to truly get into it. Mostly upset they couldn't climb over every one. There was one plane they could go in which was manned by some very kind and knowledgable volunteers. I was told they open up alternating planes and you can check ahead to see which one is open and plan accordingly. I will definitely going back in a couple years when the boys can truly appreciate the size and the history

Great little museum! Pack a fair bit into a smaller space. Their gift shop even has items worth buying.

Took my 3 yr old, he loved looking at the airplanes. You can sit in a helicopter and play around with the controls too.

A great little museum with a surprising number of planes, helicopters, and even hot air balloons! Interesting stuff for kids and adults!

Great! Our tour guide was super funny and knew what he was talking about! I would definately come back! Wpuld reccomend to anyone who wants to spend a couple of hours looking at antique planes. 100% famiky friendly, and you can even go inside some of the planes! If you havent been, go! If you have already went, go again!

This is a great museum if your into airplanes. This museum is great for all ages. It’s also a place you can go over and over again and still have a great experience. I have been to this museum 2 times and it’s the best. The museum is kept super clean. The staff is amazing because they provided me with lots of knowledge about each plane and it’s history.

Very nice museum. Lots of interesting things to see and read about. Volunteers were very helpful in explaining things about the exhibits.

Great place to visit, not something you see every day or might ever consider visiting. But add it to your list it is very impressive.

Nice collection of well preserved aircraft. The hurricane is amazing but the lancaster is really impressive. I wish you could hop into it, but you have to be ok with just the VR movie of a WWII mission.

The price is very high for very little to see. The military museum is way more interesting. It was good if you're not on a budget and there's a lot of local history involved but it isn't exactly worth the regular entry price. Free on remembrance day.

A nice museum in am historic setting. Highlights are the new Hawker Hurricane, an Avro Lancaster and a DeHavilland Vampire. Lots of engines and even a VR experience with Oculus Rift.

Not much like it around the city and my kid really enjoyed it. I wish the exhibits were a bit more interactive, especaily for the little guys.

We went to an antique sale there which was a bust but we were able to walk around the museum which was interesting

They had an airplane craft booth which my child loved, and it's always cool to see the historical planes and models.

My kids loved it here! Great stuff for the locals and tourists to visit and experience. Definitely recommended

I love history and my husband loves history and airplanes. We thoroughly enjoyed this museum and highly recommend it if in Calgary.

My teens really enjoyed the place. They say that going there makes them understand more what role Canada and its air force played during world war 2

Need to check this place out when in Calgary. Great display of planes and there lots of info relating. Time to see everything and to stop and read is about 2 hours

Very interesting, if you're not that into planes than it can be a little boring. But really cool to see old planes up close.

Large enough to be interesting but small enough to stop boredom and wearyness. Interesting and well thought out collection and very informatative.

Great place my son loved it.
The people were great and the overall place was awesome
We just stopped on our way out of Calgary but didn’t expect such a great experience. We learned a few things. Anyone visiting Calgary should go there for sure.

Very cool place to hang out for an hour or so. I'm a transportation nerd so I definitely spent all afternoon here. The volunteer for the day, Dwight, was very informative and knowledgeable about the planes in the hanger (s).

Good displays with informative signage. Managed to get out there using train and bus service from the city.

It's really nice to see all the old age flights ️and it's detailed parts. Should really appreciate the volunteers, have enough, same enthusiasm to explain in detail even at end of the day. Really appreciate it. ️️. If you are interested in knowing the history of wars and Canadian participation in those wars. Besides, museum has tried in engaging the kids their best.

I love this place! The workers show great attention to history on all of the amazing planes. This place is great for people of all ages. Highly recommended.

A great little gem located at the south end of the YYC Airport. Vintage aircraft through jets, and helicopters they have it all. A great place for a couple hours. The volunteers are very engaged and informative about thier museum.

Definitely some great history here and great for a glance in the past to appreciate our history and future.

Was here for a private party - very cool venue for events. I want to go back with my kids to show them the great history of airplanes.

It is an ok museum. I think it would have been neat if you could sit in one or two of the artifacts. Or at least have them open so you can get a nice look inside and not just through the glass. It seems like they had a lot of airplanes so they made a museum, it's a lot of unseen potential. This could be a very cool museum but it's just as basic as it can be. I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they are a very die hard plane enthusiast.

Friendly, helpful and accomodating staff, they will come to greet and chat about what's on display to give additional information to what is already posted.

The Hangar Flight Museum, formerly known as the Aero Space Museum of Calgary is a museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum is located immediately south of the Calgary International Airport. Over 24 aircraft are on display, as well as 58 aeronautical engines. A section details the Canadian space programs. Archives containing documents about aeronautics are also located on the premises.
The museum was founded in 1975 by aviation enthusiasts and former World War II pilots. It showcases the history of aviation and space technology of Western Canada.

This museum is a wonderful little hidden gem in Calgary. I stopped by here right before my flight out, and it was very much worth the trip. They have two hangar areas with all varieties and sizes of airplanes. Some planes even have a small ladder next to them so you’re able to go up and see the cockpit. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone with an interest in aviation and/or aviation history.
