The Paraparaumu Museum of Avation is housed in the old Meteorological Service building next to Paraparaumu airfield.

The Museum was opened in January 1995 to preserve New Zealand general aviation history. The emphasis is upon general aviation rather than military.There is information on New Zealand Pioneer Aviators from 1902 onwards as well as New Zealand Aviation Meteorology developments.
