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!

Awesome experience and absolutely lovely museum in Blenheim. First World War experience history, great collections of replicas and original aircraft’s from WWI and WWIi. Amazing contribution from Peter Jackson. Weta Studios …thumbs up! The short film at the end was absolutely the highlights of our experience.
Fantastic discount on tickets. Amazing displays of planes etc. The combo gives a complete picture. Lots to see, read and learn. 8 minute audio/visual was authentic and sobering. Well done Omaka.
Thank you, Eve! We are so pleased you enjoyed the museum and appreciate you taking the time to post a review.
This museum is a must see: incredible exhibits, real planes, some reconstructions, friendly staff, and a wonderful cafe out the front. We only had a few hours there, but you could take the whole day (or more) wandering around and exploring all the information there. And the special exhibit on Stalingrad and Russian casualties in WWII is incredible, and sobering! 10 out of 10.
Thank you, Richard! We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit and appreciate you taking the time to post a review.
A truly wonderful display. Professionally presented. Informative and interesting. A tragic part of history. Hopefully never to be repeated to the same extent. Will we ever learn?
Thank you, Daniel. We are so pleased you enjoyed the museum. As for your question, I fear not.

Knights of the Sky and Dangerous Skys review 2026
Well worth going to both exhibitions. Very realistic displays and very informative. Give yourself a couple of hours as you need to take your time.
