The Penticton Museum & Archives and the Hands-on-Heritage Lab are pleased to host a new interactive exhibit from the Canadian Aviation and Space Museum. Ace Academy is a digital interactive experience where visitors can fly a realistic rendering of a Sopwith biplane by simply moving their bodies and arms.
Ace Academy is a travelling exhibit currently touring across Canada. Showing previously in The Hangar Flight Museum in Calgary, the exhibit’s next stop will be the Hamilton Military Museum in Ontario. Ace Academy was developed by the Canadian Aviation and Space museum in partnership with SEED Interactive. Ace Academy and its sequel, Ace Academy: Black Flight are available for free on the App Store and Google Play. The game complements the interactive approach and hands-on style exhibits featured in the Hands-on-Heritage lab at the Penticton Museum.
The Penticton Museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is by donation.
