Vintage Rides
From May to September, the Reynolds-Alberta Museum is alive with the sights and sounds of vintage rides. Cruise the grounds in one of seven chauffeur-driven vintage cars like the 1937 Packard or a 1927 Ford Model T Touring car.

For those who are more adventurous, soar like an eagle in a vintage aircraft. The flight offers a birds-eye view of the museum and the surrounding countryside. The featured aircraft are the WACO open cockpit biplane and the 1946 Cub Super Cruiser.
