The Niagara Aerospace Museum is an aviation museum located in Niagara Falls, New York, in the old terminal building of the Niagara Falls International Airport. The museum has been located in a number of places in the Niagara Falls/Buffalo area. It had been located in the Niagara Office Building in downtown Niagara Falls and relocated in 2008 to the site of the then HSBC center on the waterfront in Buffalo, NY, where it was known as the Ira G. Ross Aerospace Museum. In the summer of 2013, the museum moved to its current location.
Both Bell Aircraft Corporation and Curtiss-Wright Corporation had corporate headquarters, research & development (R&D), and manufacturing operations nearby in the middle of the twentieth century, and much of the material on display is from these two aviation companies. Among its many displays are many examples of early to mid-twentieth century piston, turbo-jet, turbo-shaft, and jet engines, as well as several static display aircraft including early Bell helicopters, an example of the World War II Bell P-39 Airacobra, and the Bell X-22 tilt-ducted-fan VSTOL aircraft.

  • I had one of the best experiences in my life into a museum. The collection is very wide, the way how is organized touch a lot of steps in the aviation history, and Walter, the guide, explained everything with knowledge and enthusiasm. He touched complicated topics with an easy and immediate semplicity with examples and homemade models. He also jumped in technical details on all stuff inside the museum, with a very competent attention to the mechanical of the engines and physical phenomena. Impressive knowledge of the worldwide and local aviation's industry it's another important aspect that make the difference. The shop also give you an opportunity to have fun with gadgets or exhaustive collections of books and magazines to buy.
  • Super cool. I could not believe that this place exists in WNY. Fantastic experience. Erik and Walter were there, ready willing and able to answer all questions about the exhibits. Shockingly few people know it's here. And it's their loss.
