Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
Founded in 1972 by two aviation enthusiasts, the museum now houses over 40 retired Royal Canadian Air Force aircraft—each restored to tell a story of history worth remembering.
Her Majesty's Canadian Ship
After an optional lunch at Hamilton’s unique Nations international food court, we’ll head to the HMCS —the world’s last remaining Tribal-class destroyer, retired from the Royal Canadian Navy.
In the afternoon, we’ll visit Canada’s only botanical garden with a “Royal” designation.
The Royal Botanical Gardens were granted the royal charter by King George V in 1930 and feature:
- 5 uniquely themed gardens with rare and exotic plants—indoors and outdoors, all year round
- Over 50 endangered species, 2,500 plant varieties, and more than 231,000 individual plants
