A few of the aircraft have ladders that you can climb up to look inside. My kids love these.

One of my favorite things was this Anson plane that has one of the wings left unskinned so you can see the construction.

You can also go up to the second level to get an overhead view. They also have many different airplane engines on display.

They also have a spot where they explain the story behind some of the aviation related street names in Calgary.

After you finish the main hanger, you go back out the front door and follow the path to the 2nd hanger.
