Reynolds-Alberta Museum

Very well done museum with impressive exhibits. They have the main gallery that houses the cars, trucks, motorcycles etc and the aviation hanger for the planes. There are profiles of all the pilots/people important to the industry etc inducted into Canada’s aviation hall of fame. There is a theatre that plays three separate short films relating to the museum, a restaurant and gift shop. We were lucky enough to be there on a day when they offered a warehouse tour (additional charge, offered only in certain months on weekends 1 tour per day and recommended to prepurchase tickets online on their website as limited to 10-12 people per tour) which is a 75 minutes guided tour in the warehouse where they house artifacts not currently on display. Highly recommended tho you need to be mobile and able to stand for the full 75 minutes. No children under 12 allowed (and they would probably be bored anyway).

OK, I was not prepared to be impressed, in fact, more like bored. So I was very surprised to find out this museum is super interesting and so well laid out. We went during Harvest Fair and even got to see old farm machines actually harvesting. Pretty neat. For $13 it is a good deal and lots to see. Well done!

Always a great place to visit and see the past. Pictures do not show history quite like being there in person. It is quite amazing how Stan Reynolds collected all these items over the years and restored so many items rather than rusting away. We missed the harvest festival and I think that it should be on Labor day as well.

The Reynolds Museum is gorgeous. There are beautiful displays and cool things to see and do. Want to ride in a biplane? You can do that. Want to catch a ride in a Modle A? You can do that. Like interactive displays? There are lots of them. Enjoy history? It surrounds you. The staff is friendly and helpful, they have awesome presentations from people who know how to run the antique machines on display. There is a gift shop and restaurant. Lots of parking.

This museum had so many amazing exhibits about machines; cars, planes, farming equipment, motorcycles and so much more. The Canadian Aviation Hall of Fame is also part of this museum. We took a chauffeur driven vintage car over to the Hall of Fame (included in the cost). Our driver was so knowledgeable, informative and interesting. The museum is very kid friendly with many interactive displays and activities. What a great way to spend a day!
