Ingenium

Ingenium oversees three national museums: the Canada Science and Technology Museum (1867 St. Laurent Blvd), the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (11 Aviation Pkwy), and the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum (Central Experimental Farm). Each requires a separate admission ticket.

The Canada Science and Technology Museum is the top choice for families, with extensive hands-on exhibits covering space, transportation, and daily science. The Aviation Museum appeals to children fascinated by aircraft, and the Agriculture Museum offers outdoor animal encounters during warmer months.

The Science and Technology Museum is generally open daily 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Hours at the Aviation and Agriculture museums vary seasonally. Check ingeniumcanada.org for current schedules, as holiday hours and special events may alter regular times.

Yes. All three Ingenium museums have free or low-cost parking lots adjacent to their buildings. The Science and Technology Museum lot on St. Laurent Boulevard accommodates several hundred vehicles and rarely fills on weekdays.

The Ingenium headquarters and Canada Science and Technology Museum at 1865 St. Laurent Boulevard are approximately 15 minutes from Ottawa International Airport (YOW). From Adam’s Airport Inn, which is 7 minutes from the terminal, take the Airport Parkway north to Hunt Club Road, then east to St. Laurent Boulevard. The Aviation Museum on Aviation Parkway is even closer—about 12 minutes from the hotel.
