Hello Everyone,
currently in Central Park Hostel, NY, having come from Niagara Falls. Does anyone know anything about the museum there? Having crossed the border by foot from the Canadian side and then trying to find the bus station, we came across this ghost museum in what can only be described as a ghost town. Has it shut down? None of the locals seemed to know.
best regards, Steve
ps- visited Downsview, Toronto also. Pictures on my return if anyone is interested.

It’s called the Niagaga Aerospace Museum and it’s located right in the “downtown” area. The address is 345 Third Street and it’s right next door to ths Seneca Casino (formerly the Niagara Falls Convention Center).
I’ve been there a couple of times and I’d recommend it if your in the area. To me, the best artifact they’ve got is a Bell P-39 on loan from Smithsonian NASM (actually a P-400, never military), plus the Bell X-22A VTOL/tiltroter.
All in all some great displays forms some folks who are really trying hard to create a world class exhibit.
If you’re in Niagara Falls, Ont., don’t forget the Russell Group’s Collection on Sodom Road, in Chippawa Ont, about 10 minute drive from NF. Spitfire Mk. 9,
Hurricane Mk. XII, ME-109E4 – what more can I say?
Hope this helps,
Rob G.
