hidden location
The redeveloped (its a new building??) museum is a 10 min walk from the arrivals hall. Just walk thru the carpark and cross Wellington Ave. Its a nice place to visit if a few hours to spare while waiting for connecting flights. The museum is not huge but has enough different types of planes for your to explore. Some of the exhibits you can go into like the 1960s(?) Air Canada plane that they had on display and compare the extra cabin space air travel had compared to todays offerings. What I would recommend for the museum to do is to add some signage at the arrivals hall in the airport telling people the museum is located and directions.

Shiny New Museum with Lovely Exhibits
This is a delightful museum that just opened (or reopened because it relocated) in May. The planes are just beautiful. The people were delightful and friendly. As I'm not a plane enthusiast, I didn't need to spend a ton of time in there, but the exhibits are informative and there's a place to sit upstairs if you're waiting for others. The bathrooms were spotless, and there is a gift-shop on site.
