Pearson Air Museum

Being an aviation enthusiast, I loved my visit here! It is truly cool to discover all the many aviation events that have occurred here over the years. The museum may be small, but it is packed with a wealth of historical information and interesting aircraft! It is located in the Pearson Air Field, so part of the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, which means after visiting the museum, you can walk outside and watch planes coming and going (and how I love to do this!), as well as visit all that Fort Vancouver has to offer...which is alot. I haven't been here in the summer months yet, but from what I can see from photos/videos taken by fellow Google reviewers, they open up the hangers so you can check out all the wonders of aviation that are within them. I'm excited to come back, and I was just here yesterday! It is free to visit this museum, which is awesome, considering the wealth of knowledge/early aviation planes on display, and the pristine condition it is in. Call me bias when it comes to anything aviation, because let's face it, I have the upmost respect for pilots. Early aviation in particular, is full of pilots that were truly brave, especially after seeing some of the aircraft they flew! I have nothing but respect for pilots period, past and present. When you see some of the performances put on during the airshows; if you are not in awe, you might want to check your pulse, lol. I highly recommend this museum! 👍🏼✈️🤙🏼

Really nice location, friendly staff working and to help make the museum experience fun and interactive. It is also free so no cost. It’s a small museum so it took my five year old on a few minutes to go through but they thoroughly enjoyed the space and coloring. The volunteer veteran was so freaking nice and got my kiddo a badge to wear and take home. That was super nice and inclusive of them.

Cute little air museum! Friendly staff, clean building and fabulous planes inside. There's an area for kids to read or color in the lobby, and there is a ton of info to read about the different planes they have and the people who flew them. There is a scavanger hunt so kids can recieve their Junior Ranger badges which they thought was cool. They also really liked the mannequins in the plane suspended from the ceiling lol.
