Program fees are per student. Minimum fees apply. All prices are subject to change without notice. Payment may be made in advance or upon arrival. The Museum accepts cash, debit, credit cards, or cheques (payable to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum).
Cancellations must be made at least 48 hours in advance. A $30 cancellation fee applies unless the program is rescheduled within the same school year. Cancellations with less than 48 hours notice are subject to an $100 cancellation fee. In the case of bus cancellations due to inclement weather, fees are waived if the program is rescheduled in the same school year.
Spend More Time at the Museum
Plan to spend 1 to 1 ½ additional hours at the Museum. This will give you time to explore the Museum before or after your program, watch aircraft taking off and landing (in good weather), and visit the Aeronautica Boutique.
If you plan to stay for lunch, Savour Express, operated by Bytown Catering, offers fresh grab and go options including a grill menu, Bridgehead Coffee fair-trade coffee, baked goods and wraps.
Take More than Memories Back to School
Bring your camera to document the fun. The Museum is also equipped with Wi-Fi so you can tweet or post about your visit (in accordance with your school’s social media policies). Be sure to use #AvSpaceMuseum to tag your photos.
If your program includes a craft, remember to bring bags so that you can take your students’ creations back to school more easily.
