iBestTravel’s Canada National Aviation and Space Museum: A Unique Experience

Highlighting Female Pioneers

With the exception of glamorous outliers like Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman, most women pilots are left out of the cultural zeitgeist. However, the Canada National Aviation and Space Museum (CASM) is dedicated to changing that narrative, shining a spotlight on the incredible contributions of female aviators throughout history.

Erin Gregory’s passion for both the subject matter and storytelling has been imparted to the tour guides who take guests around the museum. Therefore, visitors not only see the artifacts but also hear compelling narratives that bring the exhibits to life.

A New Perspective

Moreover, trudging through hangar-like museums and reading small placards is not the only way to experience aviation history. The museum offers interactive displays and engaging stories, making it enjoyable for all attendees, regardless of their initial interest level.

Engaging Visitors

Consequently, Gregory’s goal is to engage with people who are skeptical about what they might enjoy or learn. This innovative approach aims to surprise and captivate even the most reluctant visitors.
