You can even soar over Ottawa in a historical aircraft—for a small fee. The museum is located along the Eastern Parkway near Rockcliffe.

Notes: This museum is a little off the beaten path. The prettiest way to get there from downtown is via the Rockcliffe Parkway. Take the parkway eastbound, and once you pass the RCMP Musical Ride Centre (on your right), watch for signs for the Aviation Museum. The cloverleaf from the Rockcliffe Parkway to the museum can be a little confusing, so follow signs closely. The museum is difficult to reach on public transit and expensive by cab.
