Excellent displays - from WW-1 and WW-2 through modern times. Also; the volunteer guides (retired Air Force personnel) were most friendly.

Loads of history, we have just recently purchased ad astra stones to memorialize our father and mother as they both served. They have several planes on display with short video's. A must see in the town of Trenton.

Trenton has a lot of displays, all free or if you choose to give a donation. The Halifax bomber is impressive, the walk thru the outdoor display is nice with commerative stones for service members. Definitely worth the time.

We attended last week the "Roast of the Outgoing Mayor" of Quinte West. 470!! people were in attendance and the caterer was "Occasions-by-the-Bay." Everybody from these 470 guests was impressed that the food was of high quality and was served very fast.

This is one of the best attractions in Quinte West and as a pilot, let me tell you you will not be disappointed in you are an aviation buff. Aircraft are indoors but mostly outdoor and include many Canadian military aircraft, choppers, portable aircraft control towers, a mig and some other foreign aircraft. Visit in the summer for the best viewing opportunities.

I would recommend this museum in the summer and fall. The time to visit both the interior and exterior displays are worth it. The aircrafts and information are truly wonderful. The museum feature items only available here and I would allow 2.5 hours minimum to take it in.Thank a veteran wherever you see one!Merci,

while you go to beaches when the sun is out. But when you don't have the best day with rain this is a neat and interesting visit.

We were driving through the area after a visit to Kingston and stopped in for a quick visit. The museum is in a large modern building with a variety of educational exhibits. I tried the flight simulator on the second floor and was able to safely land the plane on my first try! Outside is a large variety of military aircraft with examples of nearly every warplane ever flown by the Canadian military. Worth a visit.

They have done some renovations here and the place looks great. I've always been a bit of a war buff and I really enjoyed this trip.

Go on a sunny day so you can enjoy the outside displays better. So much history packed into a wonderfully set up museum. A must see if you are visiting Trenton.

I took my grandfather here as he wanted to see the Halifax bomber. He really enjoyed all of the exhibits and reading all the information. The highlight definitely being the Halifax, we appreciated that you could get up so close to it, and we really liked the cameras that allowed you to see what it was like inside. I was really impressed about all of the hands on things there was to do from being able to climb into one of the planes, to playing the flight simulation game to playing dress up. We were very impressed!Free to get in, but donations make things happen!

If you enjoy planes and history this is a must seeDid not realize this service did so much during our historyNice to see school kids enjoying our past

This is very much worth going to. The planes are displayed well - as are the other exhibits - and are well described. All the guides are friendly and keen to chat which is nice. The star of the show is the Halifax. I was pleased to see a good number of school parties which I am in favour of. Not enough people realise or acknowledge what a debt we owe to the RCAF and their military counter-parts,
