Enjoy two world-class exhibitions; Knights of the Sky and Dangerous Skies with this combo entry!
Discover stories of WWI & WWII in these stunning exhibitions at Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre.
The Knights of the Sky exhibition features Sir Peter Jackson’s own collection of World War I aircrafts and artifacts and brings to life the story of aviation in the Great War. The sensational sets were created by the internationally acclaimed talent of WingNut Films and Weta Workshop.
The second exhibition, Dangerous Skies, features stories from World War II, with tales of daring, valour and tragedy stretching from the British Isles to the forests of Germany, an embattled but courageous Russia and the Pacific Islands. One of the star attractions is a Griffon powered Mk.XIVe Spitfire.
The exhibition features stories of female pilots and the Battle of Stalingrad is an immersive experience that is both entertaining and chillingly thought provoking.
Explore these unique exhibitions, perfect for the whole family!
Amazing modeling of historical events. Time capsule experience. The displays models the entire event very rewarding my mokopuna thoroughly enjoyed his experience.
Really good experience- generated a lot of excitement and curiosity for our 8 year old, bit hard to explain wars to kids and not scare them, but was pretty amazing. The cinematic room was impressive but a bit too loud and scary. Also interesting to meet Roy Boston, a guide with a lot of history in avation. Fabulous place, and great to go early before it got busy.
You don't have to be particularly interested in aviation or war to enjoy these two exhibitions and learn a bit of history. Amazing presentation. Definitely worth a visit.
Great way to spend an afternoon. The exhibits and planes were spectacular and the guide very friendly guides.

Excellent experience!
Awesome exhibits & information, presented in an interesting & engaging way. Peter Jackson & his workers are amazing, creating wonderful life like scenes that present the war stories in such a memorable manner. Will be visiting again as there is so much to learn. Great cafe with plenty of outdoor seating in a lovely setting.
