Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre

 

There’s so much to see and do at the Bushplane Museum!
What better way to explore the history and adventure of flight and forest fire protection than with a visit to the Bushplane Centre?Located in beautiful downtown Sault Ste. Marie, this waterfront hangar offers more than 62,000 square feet of interactive, hands-on aviation and forest fire exhibits. We are one of only a few aviation museums that allow visitors to actually climb aboard the aircraft, take the pilot’s seat in a passenger plane’s cockpit, and climb into the cargo holds of a real waterbomber. There’s no better way to learn – and have fun – than through these hands-on experiences!!

There is ample parking available for even the biggest RVs. Have a picnic outside, enjoy the view of the historic St. Mary’s River, and spend the day here at the CBHC.
