Strolling through the warbirds is a must. There’s a wealth of history in the completely restored planes.

You might want to give the archive exhibit a miss if time is limited. If you are more interested in memorabilia, then you may not want to walk the distance to the airfield to catch the planes in action.

So you’re keen on taking the 20-minute flight? Don’t leave it to chance. Book ahead by calling (905) 679-4183 ext. 224 or e-mailing flights@warplane.com.

Since you’re already 1 hour from Toronto, why not make a day of it and include a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Burlington on your return to Toronto? Depending on the season, you could lose yourself in spring bulbs, 250,000 iris blooms, roses or miles of hiking trails.

A café on location provides reasonable lunch fare, snacks and drinks.
