Two Nights Only at the Bushplane Museum

This October, the Bushplane Museum invites you to step back in time for a Murder Mystery Dinner. Experience the thrill of a live murder mystery set in the golden age of radio. It’s dinner, drama, and suspense all rolled into one unforgettable evening.

The event is called Murder Mystery – It Was a Dark and Stormy Flight. The title sets the mood for the night. A cast of characters prepares to perform a live radio broadcast. But when a shocking crime takes place, the audience becomes part of the action.

This is not a show you simply watch. You’re in it. You ask questions, gather clues, and help crack the case. Will you solve the mystery before the final scene? Only time (and your detective skills) will tell.

The show runs for two nights only: October 24 and 25. Doors open at 6:00 PM. Once the show starts, there’s no turning back.

Murder Mystery Dinner

Tickets include a full buffet dinner, dessert, and coffee or tea. A cash bar will be open all night. You’ll want to arrive early, grab a drink, and settle in for the fun.

Want to take it up a notch? Come dressed in your best 1940s attire. Fedoras, swing dresses, suspenders, and red lipstick are all encouraged. Step into character and become part of the scene. When everyone joins in, it makes the night even more fun.

If you’re a fan of mystery novels, true crime shows, or just a good story, this night is for you. The event brings 1940s-style radio drama to life with a twist. Suspense and dark humor come together in a one-of-a-kind experience.

Past murder mystery events at the Bushplane have sold out fast. The last one filled up in just two weeks. That’s why we’re offering a special discount for early birds.

Use the code MMOct and get $10 off the first 50 tickets sold. It’s our way of saying thanks for jumping in early.

The setting adds even more magic to the night. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, filled with vintage aircraft and history, makes the perfect backdrop. You’ll feel like you’re stepping onto an old movie set, complete with shadows, secrets, and sudden surprises.

As the mystery unfolds, you can also enjoy your meal. The buffet includes a variety of dishes, plus a sweet finish with dessert and hot drinks. Whether you come with friends or join solo, it’s a night you won’t forget.

This isn’t just another dinner show. It’s interactive, high-energy, and full of unexpected twists. The actors play their parts with enthusiasm. The audience often becomes the most important part of the cast.

Tickets are available now. Don’t wait to grab yours. With the added discount, the first 50 won’t last long.

Ticket Info

Gather your group. Pick your night. And get ready to solve a murder at our Murder Mystery Dinner.

You can find more details and purchase tickets at Murder Mystery.
