Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre

I first noticed this museum while on the Soo Locks boat tour. So the next day I drove across the bridge into Canada to visit 🤠

Unusual setup here, there's more big aircraft brilliantly situated in this hanger then I've seen in any other museum. Excellent use of a small space with big airplanes✈️. And by big, how about a Fokker Tri-Motor, on floats!😱 It's a monster.😳.

There's a separate section in the back all about 🔥firefighting in Canada. This is especially relevant recently😷🫣. Visitors can walk up stairs to a recreated fire tower. There's a movie theater, with rocker🪑seats featuring a Documentary🎥 about firefighting in Canada. The 20 minute movie is very well done.🎟️ I can vouch for this having been in the movie business for 50 years😎.

This airplane museum is a hodgepodge of many things. It has rocks and minerals and shells and even another museum inside with insects. This is a very interesting and hands-on environment for children. There's a lot to learn.👨‍🏫

And back to the bush planes... There are aircraft of several types in here, some on floats, some not. Some about different parts of history. Some unrelated to bushfly. Some you can actually go into 🤩 But watch your head.

As I said it is a hodgepodge of different things😬. Very unique nonetheless and definitely enjoyable to walk around and explore 👀 And there's plenty for children to do sort of like an exploratorium with hands-on☝🏻 challenges.

Cute little gift shop at the end.
