This is a must-see attraction if you are looking around the vineyards in the Wairau Valley. We have been twice now, on two separate visits to Blenheim because here is so much to take in. The exhibits are displayed in a very creative fashion and are all interpreted comprehensively. A great morning or afternoon's visit.

My wife and I are not huge aviation enthusiasts but when staying in Blenheim our Top Ten Caravan park host recommended that we take the time to visit the Omaka museum. We are so pleased we did.

My husband and I recently toured NZ by rental car for 7 weeks. We are of a generation that was taught about The Great War in grade school. This is a first class venue. No expense was spared and for those who have learned history and for those who want to learn history this is the place to go.

This was an outstanding attraction it is all WW1 aircraft and is really engaging and full of actual memorabilia and the history is all around you. This is probably the best of these I have seen anywhere

Awesome to see even if you aren't really in to planes or war memorabilia. Well worth seeing. It feels like you are on a movie set.

Wow... go there, you wont find a better WW1 plane display any where. Allow about an hour to have a good look around... take your time and a camera... enjoy!.

This is an excellent display of WWI war planes. Many are exact replicas with some rare originals as well. A lot of good memorabilia including the German cross cut from the wing of the Red Baron's triplane. Well worth the visit and the $25 entry cost.

An amazing museum filled with a world class array of WWI aeroplanes and fascinating memorabilia. What a fabulous facility set adjacent to Omaka aerodrome.
