1934 Qantas Hangar

The 1934 Qantas Hangar sits on MacDonald Street at Parap, near Darwin's CBD. A much-loved historic aviation museum housed in a genuine 1934 heritage hangar, it's a fascinating piece of the Top End's aviation and wartime history — home to displays of aircraft, memorabilia and the stories of early aviation and Darwin's significant WWII role.

The appeal is that combination of genuine aviation heritage and engaging displays: the historic hangar itself, the aircraft and artefacts and the stories of early Qantas, civil aviation and Darwin's wartime experience, all making for a fascinating, educational visit. For aviation enthusiasts, history buffs and families, it's a memorable and distinctive Darwin attraction.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 260 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved spot. Opening hours, admission, the displays and any special events vary — and a heritage museum may keep specific hours — so it's worth checking current details before you go, particularly to confirm opening days and times, then enjoying the aviation history at the 1934 Qantas Hangar in Darwin.
