    A fun museum! I loved that all the displays were authentic and actually used in battle or trainings at one point or another. There were several boats, a helicopter, and an obstacle course that the kids could get in or play on. The kids really enjoyed the videos inside and I loved reading the displays. I learned a lot about the seals and how they relate to Fort Pierce. Definitely worth visiting. Even the staff went above and beyond. One of the staff members taught my kids how to tie knots and gave them a Navy seal museum pen when they successfully completed the task. We spent about 2 hours or so here in all. There’s a cool little gift shop off the front with lots of navy seal T-shirts, coins, stickers, patches, ornaments, etc. A great visit for elementary age and up. The only constructive criticism I have is to add more of facts and history of the wars and invasions.

    This is a small museum but packed full of excellent exhibits, armory, movies and weaponry. The volunteer docents were very good and explained everything to us before we entered. Climb inside the helicopter and you will get a realistic feeling of what it was like to be a paratrooper. The Medal of Honor section was excellent because it gave the full story of the bravery of the recipients. We particularly enjoyed seeing all of the operations that were conducted by Navy Seals outside of declared wars (Panama, Haiti, etc.) The Normandy section was very good as were the sections on canines. Great experience.

    Being a Navy Veteran, this place has been on my list for a while. I finally got the opportunity to go today. (9/3/22) It's an INCREDIBLE experience. A very well laid out museum with tons to see and interact with. It really brought back a lot of memories for me. If you are planning on going, set aside a GOOD block of time. Also try to go when the weather is good because there is a lot to see outside on the grounds as well. Just an overall incredible experience. I look forward to going back, hopefully with friends and share all the history contained therein.

    Very impressed with this museum! The size can be deceiving from the outside. Every inch of this building is packed full of awesome artifacts and information. It’s also very clean and well kept. Also very easy to navigate. I highly recommend! Took us around 1 hour and 15 minutes to slowly walk and watch the videos.

    The museum was a fantastic experience. It's not the biggest, but each item and exhibit was authentic and high quality. Extra points if you are able to speak to some of the workers regarding the origin stories of some of the pieces. There is a military discount for veterans and active duty. The grounds outside the building also have really great exhibits. To cap it off, you can walk from the parking lot to the beach and enjoy some fun and sun all in one visit

    What a tribute to those who have kept us safe and freedom alive! Weapons, vehicles, and moving stories of heroic sacrifice fill every corner. Modern static and interactive displays. Videos are so well done. Full size Blackhawk Helicopter inside. History spans from early beginnings as training ground right in Fort Pierce for WWII UDT Frogmen to today's SEAL (Sea/Air/Land) Teams. Outside is an amazing collection of boats and displays. Gift shop is well stocked with many mementos for your visit. We took 2 hours and scratched the service. Tickets are so reasonably priced. Don't miss WII beginnings: Normandy Invasion clearing mines and beach fortifications while being shot at and all with "swim trunks and a knife".

    The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum in Florida is truly an epic experience for anyone interested in the history of the Navy SEALs and the incredible sacrifices they've made for our country. From the moment you step onto the grounds of the museum, you can feel the weight of the history and the importance of the mission these brave men have undertaken. The museum is filled with an amazing collection of artifacts, exhibits, and interactive displays that bring to life the heroic stories of the Navy SEALs. From the early days of the Underwater Demolition Teams to the modern-day operations, every aspect of their remarkable journey is captured in vivid detail. The highlight of the museum is undoubtedly the actual gear, weapons, and equipment used by the SEALs, including the famous MK V Special Operations Craft and the SEAL Delivery Vehicle. Walking through these displays, you can't help but be in awe of the skill, bravery, and dedication of these warriors. The museum also offers a number of hands-on experiences, like the chance to climb aboard a real Navy SEAL Mini-Sub and to test your skills on the SEAL Obstacle Course. These activities give you a small glimpse into the intense training and preparation that these elite soldiers undergo in order to carry out their missions. One of the most moving parts of the museum is the tribute to the fallen heroes of the SEAL teams. The memorial wall and the displays honoring those who have made the ultimate sacrifice serve as a powerful reminder of the tremendous courage and sacrifice of these brave men. The staff at the museum are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to sharing the incredible history and legacy of the Navy SEALs. Their enthusiasm and willingness to engage with visitors make the experience even more enriching. Visiting the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum is not just a visit to a museum; it's an opportunity to gain a deep understanding and appreciation for the men who have served and continue to serve in the Naval Special Warfare community. This museum provides a truly epic and humbling experience that will leave you with a profound sense of respect and admiration for the Navy SEALs and their unwavering commitment to our their nation.

    Went to the annual Veterans Day celebration, and the museum staff put on another outstanding show. The fly-in and demonstrations were excellent

    This place is cool! The outdoors are totally free and perfect for kids (of all ages). There is a fee to tour the museum inside. The ships are amazing and really give you a sense of the hardships of battle. After your done here, you can go directly to the beach in the same parking lot, or the playground next door. BTW parking is ample and also free 😃

    Everyone should visit this place. Thank these guys for your freedom and all that they do to provide it. Sacrifice and Honor! The best of the best. Very informative and pretty cool obstacle course.

    So much better than expected! My wife spent a lot more time reading the displays next to the exhibits, and was more interested than she thought she would have been going in. The story telling is great, displays include everything from vehicles, boats, helicopters and gear. Great gift shop with reasonable things appropriate for friends and family. Discounts for families, seniors and vets. Go!

    Great place if you are there when there is not a crowd. I enjoyed all the exhibits. They were quite interesting and the obstacle course outside was fun. At the same time, I was quite disappointed about the inconsistency of mask wearing among the staff and the inability to socially distance within this setting. That's why I only gave a 4. We were between 2 large groups of people who were oblivious to everyone else around them and totally ignored any type of 6 foot space. Even a staff member who was unmasked continued to approach me (masked )to talk about something-disregarding my "No, thankyou"'s and my backing away from him. I just found it surprising during Covid. I think it would work better if there was perhaps an overall limit on the number of people in the building at one time so there is more ability to have some distance from others.

    Excellent museum for all ages. Interactive and informative with recent updates. Free entrance after 3pm. Closed Monday. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. And beach short walk away.

    This is a really neat place. I highly recommend visiting it. This has a good over view of the organization, it's activity and history. There is much to see. I'll have to go back to finish it all. The film at the end is 2 hours long, so plan appropriately. It was interesting, to but I had leave prior to completing it

    What a great place to visit!! I am so thankful for these men who have given everything for our freedom!!! My wife's uncle was on Seal Team 2 and found his name on the wall. The staff was so helpful in finding his graduation photo!

    I brought my two year old and my 8 year old here. I was able to use a wagon and navigate thru pretty okay. It has lots of gear, weapons, machinery-pretty much everything navy seals use and have used. They show you the changes in equipment over the decades. They have an outdoor obstacle course that the navy seals use. My son had fun. They also had some boats, and other vehicles that you can actually get inside of. There is a small memorial garden honoring fallen seals throughout the different wars. I feel like it’s a bit pricey for what they have and to be honest to allow people to experience history. Adults are $15, children are $7 and toddlers and infants are free. There are a couple of picnic tables you can sit at and snack on. It does say no backpacks or big bags but because I had my son I guess they let me through with them-they didn’t question me.

    Fantastic and interactive museum. Highly recommend visiting here and spending at least 2 hours if you are in the area. I think anyone can enjoy this museum, but military history people could easily spend all day here tracing the roots of the Navy Seals from their Ft. Pierce origins

    If you like military history or just cool stuff, this is a great museum. The guys at the front desk are nice and talkative. All of the displays are awesome. It is layed out great, in a chronological order all the way back to WW2. The memorials are humbling. It is well worth the time to visit.

    The National Navy SEAL museum provides a rich history of the greatest fighting force on the planet, the Navy SEAL. The museum takes you on a tour from World War II to today and details how the Navy Seal became the greatest special force our country has known. The displays are actual weapons, equipment and items used by SEAL/UDT forces. Everything from weapons, helicopters, combat vehicles and a variety of combat boats. Videos with historical facts can be found throughout the facility as well as a theater that covers the birth of the Navy SEAL program, UDT operations, Frogmen and much more. Visit this monument to learn and appreciate the sacrifice the Seal community has made to protect our freedom.

    The Navy Seal Museum was both a nice treat and great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday. There’s plenty of free onsite parking and they offer a Veteran’s Discount. I was shocked to learn that the outside obstacle course is more than just for show. You can actually do it if you sign a waiver! The museum is very well put together. I enjoyed looking at all of the old items, reading the stories about how the Navy Seals came to be, and learning about specific Navy Seal members. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to take awesome pictures inside and outside. There’s a great video at the end BUT it’s extremely long. We had to finally make a decision to leave lol. There’s also a gift shop but we didn’t get a chance to check it out. The visit here was both time and money well spent!

    Leave it to UDT (oh yeah, Seals) to have a museum this awesome. We've visited three times and each time learn something new or discover a display that somehow missed our attention on the previous visit. Make sure to visit on a sunny day as the outside displays (mostly SDVs and watercraft) are worth the walk. The gift store? Just have your credit card at the ready, that's all I have to say about that.

    This museum has so much information so I recommend allotting 2-3 hours to tour. I really enjoyed my time there and learned so much about the Histiry of the Navy Seals. The museum and grounds are spectacular and so well kept. I was super impressed with everything. Mr. Andy Brady runs the museum and he shared quite a bit of the SEAL history as we were leaning facility. There is a store on site with souvenirs and more. I highly recommend visiting if in the area or have a passion for the Navy Seals.

    A place where you can see the sacrifices that have been made to preserve freedom. Great place to bring the family.

  • 5/5 Sam F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very cool museum! Everything was authentic and there were some interactive areas which were really fun. You could also go inside some of the crafts. I learned a lot and enjoyed it. I’ve always been super interested in the SEALs and especially Military Working Dogs so that was cool to see. Spent about 2hrs going through and exploring the outdoor exhibits.

  • 5/5 Tom Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Just awesome! Great story and history. This is a MUST SEE if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Jason R. 7 months ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning presentation. As a veteran and patriotic American I truly appreciate all this museum had to offer. Very considerately put together and very innovative in their ideas to show the public. I love how interactive it was which helped to maintain the focus of my son. Great overall day I was able to spend with my brother, nephew, and son, learning the history of the frogmen.

    What an amazing museum this is! This museum should be on everyone's bucket list, it's a must see. Tons of history, hands on exhibits and so many learning opportunities it's unreal! From beginning to end, outside and inside, the attention to detail and facts is stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our day here and will probably be back before we leave because I'm sure we missed a lot!
