There is so much history here. We were showed all of the fort's compartments, pole barns, hallways, and underground walkways. Alan was our tour guide. He is so full of knowledge and you can tell he truly enjoys sharing this with you. I had the best time with my sister and niece spending a few hours with Alan.

Home schooling day out -- world history day. Live actors to take you back to that place in time, along with a guide to share some facts and history with us. We loved it! We even did the pledge of allegiance, since it was a school day. They take donations and I strongly advise to donate.

Great tour. I went to Saturday 3:00 p.m. tour with my kids today. Absolutely fantastic one hour tour. So much to learn about history. Great people. They are 100% volunteers. Please don't forget to donate!

San Pedro hidden gem. Cool museum of an old US artillery base with alot of history. Also has a small gift shop at the Battery Farley. K-9 cemetary and awesome views of San Pedro beach.

Small but definitely worth a quick view.

Tour guide named Chris was super helpful.

Plan to attend the annual Old Ft Macs Days and the Great Los Angeles Air Raid events. Going on a normal day gets you an informative tour. Going to those events are memory makers.

Really enjoyed Old Fort MacArthur Days.

GREAT PLACE TO VISIT AND SEE THE MUSEUM MUST SEE

The museum is located in a park. If you just want to visit the museum, do not go because it is closed. The road and the parking lot to the fort are also closed. We asked about 10 people, nobody knew exactly where it is and we were told to walk to different directions. We did enjoy some beautiful coastal scenery but were still very disappointed because we just wanted to visit the museum. Somebody should update the hours.

Museum was closed for some time without notice of when it will open.

Beautiful views and a unique military location. Definitely worth a visit for both historical value, and an excellent view!

Great views of the coast and full history, and many photo opportunities. Lots of green spaces to walk your dog or sit with family.

Museum is temporary closed as of January 27th 2024

It's under construction and they're making more exhibit so I can more interesting but still really cool place just not a lot of stuff to look at.

Staff is very knowledgeable, and the sights are amazing!

A place from my youth that is still going strong. Rich with military history by the Sea.

Bunker/museum was open but volunteer staff were nowhere to be seen. I got a really creepy vibe when I walked in, so I left with my toddler. Doesn’t seem safe to leave a place like that unlocked and unattended for any period of time.

Had a great time and one of the volunteers gave us a tour through the tunnels. It’s was a great experience, and he even opened the gift shop so we could buy some shirts.

Awesome little piece of history preserved. The docents are very knowledgeable and help paint a picture of what things were like. You can only go inside during one of the guided tours, but they're free unless you'd like to donate.

Great visit to the Fort but unfortunately it was under refurbishment but the grounds were nice to walk around.

If you love history, you will like this place.

Love this place

Interesting place

We filmed a film here. Fun place to be.

Hidden treasure !!

Very interesting ... thanks

Learn about history from people who have a passion to share and teach it.

The tour guide was amazing. He knew everything about everything. A complete explanation of how everything worked and the reasons why. Go to the beach view point first to understand what they are talking about.

(Translated by Google) A very nice area ... A super nice atmosphere .. and very good to relax (Original) Una zona muy linda... Un ambiente súper agradable.. y muy bueno para relajarse

Outstanding visit this morning! Our family made an impromptu trip to this hidden local gem. So much local history is just hidden along our coast. We were all taken by surprise by how engaging and how much there was to see. Our tour guide gave us a personal tour of batteries Osgood and Farley. These 14" guns were responsible for coastal protection from enemy naval bombardment. Though the guns themselves have been long since removed, they give tours of the ammunition depot, radio room, plotting room, and generator room. So much of the equipment is maintained in a working state. Amazing and interesting place to visit. Thank you! And please be sure to support the museum when you go.

This place was very unique and trippy. Went here with a couple of friends and the pictures came out amazing. Charlie at the front desk checked us in he was extremely helpful and genuinely kind. Great customer service even though I'm sure we gave him a hard time lol would go again

this little history resort of war is pretty small but BUT I HAVE TO GIVE THANKS every hour IT HAS tours SADLY I DIDN'T GO ON THE TOUR I JUST DID IT BY MYSELF BUT YEAH YOU JUST STAND AT THE GATE THE STAFF IS GOING TO COME OUT EVERY HOUR AND WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE USUALLY COMING OFF A WHITE BUSES YOU JUST WANT TO FOLLOW THEM AND THEY'RE GOING TO START THE TOUR I RECOMMEND ASKING BEFORE YOU JUST JOIN THE GROUP THOUGH CUZ ONE STAFF CAN BE LEADING IT AND THE OTHER STAFF THAT TOLD ME THIS INFORMATION COULD BE COOL WITH IT AND THE GUY THAT'S LEADING IT COULD BE LIKE OH NO YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BUT THEY SAY IT'S FREE GIVE IT A SHOT PEOPLE ENJOY

Awesome guided tours, well worth taking a trip to. Hard to get parking so have to walk to the entrance.

Great place to go with kids/family trip, the best is free, you get a lot of knowledge from US History.

Lots of neat history here, good to bring your kids, unless they’re easily spooked. It feels like there’s always someone behind you even when there isn’t..... But an important place in local history

Outstanding glimpse into LA's WWII history. Outstanding displays and restored Army vehicles and masterful guiding by the staff. Please donate generously to help support this local treasure.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, but revisited for the first time in years recently. The guys working there were very informative and friendly.

Beautiful, as always! Visited the military museum and captured some great photos of the ocean

It's a great place to visit

Super interesting. The barracks and vehicles from Pearl harbor are spectacular and the k9 Graves are heart touching.

What a neat place. They had a lot of great things to see and you can walk around the whole area which was awesome.

Awesome place thank you to the people that volunteer

Great place for kids and adults. We spent 4 hours there and the kids were still engaged. My only beef is the parking fees. We paid more for parking than the entrance fee but that's CA...

This place is one of the hot spots for tourist and locals alike. Children run in between the lights ocationally swinging on them and sparking the chase of local security while teenagers straighten hair, look down at toes with knees bent and takes duck lip selfies for snap chat and the gram.

From 1916 to 1945, Battery Osgood Farley was the Upper Reservation of Fort Macarthur and served as operation post for defense of the harbor against enemy attack from sea.

Nostalgic

Went to a special event here after it had closed and it was fantastic. It had a T Rex to greet you at the front door. What a way to start out the tour. The planetarium was closed to us, but everything else was opened, and it took a couple of hours to go through it all. I had to go through the rain forest exhibit twice. I wish that I lived closer so I could visit again.

I had a lot of fun there!

Cool history lots of things to try, and great for field trips

Cool Museum

Today we got a tour of areas that we hadn't seen on other visits here. If you like WW2 history, this place is for you.

Great spot. Lots of history. A hidden gem in the harbor.

Amazing place!!

Disappointed

Hidden little museum located in a bunker. Small and mostly consisting of old newspapers and photos. A few old vehicles, and equipment. An interesting find, and would be fun if you are a military buff.

Lot's of history in this place.

Good place for walking

(Translated by Google) Nice but not much to see unfortunately (Original) Sympa mais pas grand chose à voir malheureusement

Awesome experience

Alots of good historic information.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting (Original) Muy interesante

Nice

I've been going there my whole life.It truly is an amazing place to be. The tour guides are so nice and helpful.

This a very beautiful historical place. So much history is embedded within the walls of these bunkers. I can pretty much spend a long time reading up on all the interesting facts posted on the walls. There are cases with historical items. Overall, this place transports you to the World War 2 Era tdr minute you walk in. I really love the music they play throughout this place. There is a "donation" box at the entrance, I suggest you bring extra cash... Well worth it... This place will never get old...
