Get up close and personal at Queensland Air Museum
Get up close and personal at Queensland Air Museum these school holidays.
Experience a great day out for all the family with a unique chance to get right up close to the many aircraft on display. There are free tour guides on hand most days to enhance your visit and make the exhibits ‘come to life’. The Queensland Air Museum is also a great wet-weather venue with many exhibits under cover and it has a well-stocked museum shop with clothing, souvenirs, models, books, videos and DVDs.
The Queensland Air Museum is run entirely by volunteers to preserve Australia’s aviation heritage. Many of their military aircraft have played essential roles in defending our nation and supporting our allies throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. Their exhibits also include iconic civilian and utility aircraft, making the collection the largest and most diverse in Australia.
