A Must See In Sault St Marie Sept 2023 • Family • We have never been to Sault St Marie & someone told us about this Centre. We spent several hours there and it is well worth your time. The planes are incredible and it really gives you an idea of what our fire fighters & bush pilots go through to save lives & forests! Entomica is also amazing & the staff super fun & informative. Great way to spend a few hours for sure!

Jun 2023 • Family • Wow! We decided to go to Canada for a day from Michigan. This museum popped up as something to do so we gave it a shot not expecting much. However we were so impressed! It was a great museum full of interactive exhibits for young children. We spent more time here than we expected and would definitely recommend a visit as it holds the interest of all ages.

Very interesting - clearly a lot of love poured into this museum Oct 2022 • Couples • They pack a lot of interesting information into a small space! I appreciated how each plane had a booklet of information with the same categories for each exhibit - really helped bring all the information across the entire museum into a cohesive narrative.
