Fun and learning blast off over three space-themed days. There’s something for everyone at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum this Family Day weekend!
Have you always wanted to meet an astronaut? This is your opportunity! Canadian Astronaut Dr. Dave Williams will be at the museum at 1 pm and will be joined virtually for a live presentation by Canadian Space Agency Astronaut Col. Jeremy Hansen, followed by Q & A. NOTE: Astronaut Dave will be here ONLY on Saturday February 15.
The Earth in Focus exhibit explores the advantages and benefits of observing the Earth from the unique point of view of space. Visitors will discover the technologies and innovations of the Canadian space program through interactive and immersive experiences, including a mix of stunning photographs taken by astronauts, associated with satellite imagery. Drawing links to their own experiences, visitors will better understand how the data collected from space help us feed a growing population, keep people safe from dangers such as forest fires and extreme weather, and monitor our changing planet.
Sit back and relax in Astronomy in Action’s planetarium. Enjoy stunning 4K visuals in a professionally presented 360-degree theatre allows you to experience the universe with wonder and awe.
