    Too small. Not much to see. Poor display. The best tank was outside. 30min of visit time maybe 1h. You can no longer play in a tank simulator.

    Great museum. Lot's of amazing exhibits and photos. Lot's of vehicles, weapons and uniforms. Truly insightful to life in the Army. Well presented through centuries of war and peace keeping. The shop had some good souvenirs some on sale.

    Nice visual displays with uniforms, equipment, vehicles and lots of information to read on all the displays. Laid out very nicely over several floors, directional arrows, sanitiser stations and lots of helpful friendly staff. Some of the interactive pieces are not working due to COVID restrictions. But a good way to spend a couple of hours in a free museum

    The Army Museum in London stands as a testament to the rich and complex history of the British Army, offering a profound insight into the nation's military legacy. Spanning across various periods, the museum captivates visitors with its extensive collection of artifacts, exhibits, and interactive displays, showcasing the evolution and the pivotal role of the army in shaping the course of history. One of the museum's most compelling aspects is its ability to immerse visitors in a diverse range of experiences. From the early days of the army's formation to its modern-day strategies, the museum meticulously narrates the stories of heroism, sacrifice, and innovation. The artifacts, ranging from weaponry and uniforms to personal mementos, paint a vivid picture of the challenges and triumphs faced by soldiers throughout different eras. The thematic exhibits are thoughtfully curated, offering a comprehensive understanding of warfare, leadership, and the social, cultural, and technological changes that have influenced the army's development. Moreover, the museum's commitment to engaging its audience through interactive displays and multimedia installations enhances the educational experience. Visitors can delve into simulations, historical accounts, and hands-on activities, creating a dynamic learning environment suitable for all ages. This approach not only educates but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices made by soldiers and the impact of their service on the nation. The museum's design and layout are commendable, guiding visitors through a coherent and compelling narrative. The visual storytelling and the use of multimedia elements create an immersive and engaging journey, enabling a deeper connection with the army's history. However, despite its impressive offerings, some areas might benefit from further expansion or more in-depth explorations of specific periods or conflicts. Additionally, enhancing the diversity of perspectives showcased could enrich the narrative, offering a broader understanding of the army's impact on different communities and cultures. In conclusion, the Army Museum in London stands as an invaluable resource, effectively preserving and presenting the rich tapestry of the British Army's history. Its comprehensive approach, interactive displays, and diverse collection make it a must-visit destination for those interested in military history and the profound impact of the army on society.

    The National Army Museum is the British Army's central museum. It is located in the Chelsea district of central London, adjacent to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the home of the "Chelsea Pensioners". The museum is a non-departmental public body. It is usually open to the public from 10:00am to 5:30pm, except on 25–26 December and 1 January. Admission is free. Having reopened in March 2017 following a major £23.75 million re-development project including £11.5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the museum houses five galleries that cover British military history from the English Civil War up to modern day.[2][3][4] This remit for the overall history of British land forces contrasts with those of other military museums in the United Kingdom concentrating on the history of individual corps and regiments of the British Army. It also differs from the subject matter of the Imperial War Museum, another national museum in London, which has a wider remit of theme (war experiences of British civilians and military personnel from all three services) but a narrower remit of time (after 1914). The National Army Museum was first conceived in the late 1950s, and owes its existence to the persistent hard work of Field Marshal Sir Gerald Templer, who did most of the fundraising for it.[5] It was established by Royal Charter in 1960, with the intention of collecting, preserving, and exhibiting objects and records relating to the Regular and Auxiliary forces of the British Army and of the Commonwealth, and to encourage research into their history and traditions.[6] It was initially established in 1960 in temporary accommodation at the former No.1 Riding School at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.[7] A new purpose-built building, designed in brutalist style by William Holford & Partners, was started in 1961 on a site which had previously formed part of the old infirmary of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The new building was completed ten years later and opened by the Queen on 11 November 1971.[8] One director, Ian Robertson, initiated a programme to establish an outpost of the Museum in the garrison town of Catterick, North Yorkshire, to be known as National Army Museum North, on the model of Imperial War Museum's establishment of the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester. A large site was chosen near Marne Barracks, beside the A1, and in 2002 Simon Pierce of Austin-Smith:Lord was chosen as the new museum's architect.[9] However, funding and planning issues later led to the cancellation of the plan in 2003.[10] The National Army Museum instead underwent a major redevelopment of its gallery and corridor displays at Chelsea from 2006 onwards, establishing new displays in existing permanent display areas, converting the corridors from oil-painting displays to permanent-exhibition spaces, and producing new temporary and permanent display areas on the third floor. This redisplay concluded with the opening of the new permanent National Service gallery in October 2010, though a further phase of redevelopment followed from 2011 onwards.[11]

    Medium sized museum but perfectly formed. Showcases the impressive history of The British Army. Interesting galleries. Doesn't glorify war but shows terrible mental and physical cost on the combatants. Great cafe. Toilets spotless.

    Beautiful spacious, spotless army museum which is a tad hard to get to via public transport (only 1 bus 170 stops nearby). But a nice place to visit with friends and family. It also houses a café and shop. It also hosts meetings and conferences and a lovely place for photoshoot as well. Staff are very friendly and helpful and courteous. Lovely way to spend your afternoon here after a stroll by the river.

    Post Covid (and extensive refurbishment) visit to see the Foe to Friend exhibition about the British Army of the Rhine. Firstly, the cafe seems to be used as a creche by the mummies and au pairs of Chelsea/Belgravia. Sitting waiting for a friend was like being in a poorly managed playground. The cafe staff seemed more concerned that the "supervising adults" about children playing near or on the stairs. That said the coffee is first rate. The exhibition (Foe to Friend)was excellent with enough exhibits physically present to keep interest. The other galleries contain mixed info on the history or the Army through the ages and again has dodged the multiple screens approach of many museums. There seemed to be no mention of the reason why it's called just the Army and not "Royal", but then the Civil War was only nearly 400 years ago.

    A very pleasant place with a very nice cafe attached to it (almost worth going for the cafe food menu). While enjoyable, felt a little limited in its explanations and wish it went further into the modern set up and structure of the army. I wouldn't say it is as good as the IWM, however still enjoyable and easy to pass the hours on a day trip.

    A superb place to visit with so much to see and do. Our sons loved this museum, there are interactive exhibits as well as traditional displays and there is a lot packed in. This is a thoughtful museum and not one that only shows the many good things about the British Army, it also reflects accurate experiences of those in combat and what happens after service. The staff are welcoming and happy to talk and there's a really good cafe. If you have an interest in military history this is a must-visit museum and if you have kids who love games like Call of Duty then this really helps to bring reality to life with weapon and uniform displays. There is a tank, helicopter and other vehicles to get photos of too. We were very pleased we visited and will make sure to do so again soon.

    Not a lot of substance, some propagabda on how good the army was but actually not a lot of exhibits. The only good exhibition was the 3d model of battle of waterloo. If you are actually interested in learning about the armys history u should go to the imperial war museum

    Very informative on the history of the British army. For a museum it’s about medium size, and has lots of interactive games for children too. It’s one of the most family friendly museums you’ll ever visit. When I visited it was pretty empty, and the staff were very friendly.

    Dan was the northernmost part of the Kingdom. Jeroboam set up golden calves at the high place in Dan. This was so the Israelites could worship at Dan and not have to go all the way to Jerusalem to the temple. They were refusing to submit to God and Israel began to shrink (2 Kings 10:29-32, 12:25-33)

    Beautiful little gem in the northern part of the country where you can find some nice trails, with some shallow water to sip your toes or relatively strong streams and even some ancient remains of historic town and what seems to be the oldest town gate in the world. Just make sure you come on a weekday. Otherwise you're in for a lot of traffic jams and noise...

    Compact, intelligently curated and compelling, the National Army Museum is a great expression of modernized museum values in this country. Its messaging is neither martial nor apologetic, and its collection and exhibitions are pitched perfectly for the novice or know-it-alls of military history. The NAM really gets the balance right.

    Absolutely fabulous museum! I cannot recommend enough, the only shame was that I only found out about this museum the day before visiting......wish I'd known years ago! The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the pieces in their possession. Social distancing was fully implemented from start to finish. What else can I say other than go and see it....you wont be disappointed!

    Quite nice. Good for 19th century content as the Imperial War Museum lacked any exhibitions on the Crimean War and the Zulu wars. Highlights were Wellington's coat and Lord Raglan's note that launched the Charge of the Light Brigade.

    The National Army Museum in Chelsea is a captivating tribute to military history. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing a comprehensive insight into the nation's military heritage. Meanwhile, Play Base, the soft play area, adds an extra dimension for families. It's a well-designed space, offering a perfect blend of education and recreation. There’s also a children friendly cafe and good facilities for parents with young children and babies. A day at the National Army Museum and Play Base promises an enriching experience for both history enthusiasts and families with young adventurers.

    A little bit out of the way, but it’s a great place to visit if you are interested in the British armed forces and its history. The play place inside of the museum is closed for renovations and there wasn’t a lot of people when we visited. If you want to make sure, there is an option to book tickets. There is a cafe on floor 1, prices are a little high. The content of the museum itself is plentiful and informative.

  • 5/5 Christopher W. 3 months ago on Google • 87 reviews New

    Hidden gem in this part of London, very family friendly. Didn't get to look around the museum, as we came for the Play Base session, we came to the 10am session which was busy, but well managed that it did not feel crowded. We booked in advance, was sold out by the time we got there. It was an hour's session which was perfect as the room is on the small side, so your older kids won't get lost in there, perfect for my little one to burn himself out. Tickets weren't too expensive, would definitely consider bringing him once a week or every few weeks. The museum facilities are good, cafe was nice, on the pricy side for food, so opted for a herbal tea. But would definitely come back to explore the rest of the museum and come to the cafe for a coffee/tea as it is very family friendly. Judging by the amount of buggies there it seems that if it is decent alternative to other local soft play sessions. As the Play Base space is small I would recommend taking babies and toddlers during term time in school hours as can imagine it would be carnage when older children are there.

  • 5/5 Angus M. 1 month ago on Google • 56 reviews New
    Really engaging museum, often overshadowed by the imperial War museum but I would highly recommend this even if you're not that into military history. There are several exhibitions that display how Shakespeare was used as war propaganda, a nice cafe, and a corner to keep the kids occupied.

  • 4/5 Ariana G. 1 month ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Really well kept and clean museum. Better for older kids but a few good things for younger ones too. The soft play is small and sweet, about 40 minutes until they had enough. Interesting exhibitions and very nice staff.

  • 5/5 Nina H. 1 month ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    One of the best museums we visited as a family in London. Great soft play for the kids with thematic toys and activities. Interesting exhibits about different wars, specifically about Waterloo battle. Learned so much about it about napoleon and Duke of wellington, the description and facts are presented in engaging and interactive ways. Very clean toilets which is always great for parents. Amazing coffee shop with kids menu and tasty coffee and snacks. Can’t recommend more for families with young kids or just travellers. However should point out that most historic and army related facts are at the 3rd and 2nd floors.

  • 5/5 Nancy M. 4 years ago on Google
    This museum is informative and enjoyable for all ages. There is plenty to do for the children and lots to fascinate adults. We took a packed lunch for the family as the cafe has good reviews, but is pricey. Free cloakroom is a real bonus; you can walk around comfortably.

    I had some time to kill in London so decided to visit here and I'm glad I did. Entry to this Museum is free which is a great start and the staff were friendly and advised me on the best way to explore the museum. There is a good range of different exhibits spanning the history of the Army and up to present day. There are a good amount of interactive exhibits that will entertain children and there is a large cafe here too. I didn't use the cafe but it looked nice. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Stuart L. 4 years ago on Google

    What a great place! Fascinating, uncluttered and very well laid out over a number of floors (there are lifts) this is definitely a place to visit in order to look at the Army through the ages right up to modern times.

    A fantastic museum with plenty of things to see. Very interactive and only just recently opened in 2017. Free entry and well-located not far from the Chelsea Pensioner's pad. I went on a Saturday afternoon from 2-5.30 on a wet day. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Lara H. 3 years ago on Google
    So impressed with this museum. For free there are a lot of things to look at and read about. We found it very interesting listening to the videos and learning things about people who were in wars. Would definitely go back in the future. Because of covid the activities are closed off which is a shame, but understandable. The kids would of loved to sit in the tank. We spent a good hour and half in here. Clean toilets and a cafe up stairs. There is also a little gift shop..

    Museo de las fuerzas armadas en el que se muestra al ejercito desde dentro, sus recursos, sus uniformes, su armamento... Se recorre toda su historia y evokucion en distintis ambitos. Se invita a reflexionar acerca de si tu te ves como un futuro soldado y trata de explicar porque existe. Con COvid19 se han tomado dostintas medidas como tener que reseevar previamente la entrada, que es gratuita, hacer un recorrido unico guiado por flechas, dispensadores de gel para manow uso obligatorio de mascarillas, ademas de tenwr cerrasas todas las partes expositivas mas interactivas una pena pero prima la seguridad Recomendable visitarlo

    If anyone is interested in army history you have to check out the National Army Museum. Free entry- there is a box to leave a £5 donation to keep it going. A real hidden gem and not well known. No long stories, loads of artefacts, uniforms and displays to view with short snippets, some interactive displays and helpful staff. Food in the cafe is lovely too but prices match location. Located a short walk from Sloan Square Station, right next to the home of the Chelsea Pensioners, Royal Chelsea hospital. Spent a couple of hours here, so much to take in that I could easily visit again, would highly recommend.

    Lovely place if you like military history. Its more about the history of the British Army really than the history of warfare as such. Very compact place but well spaced out and easy to follow the route through. Good selection of guns, uniforms and equipment used by soldiers past and present. A few interactive displays also give some displays a more personal touch. No space for big military vehicles however...you would probably need the Imperial War Museum for that. Otherwise an excellent place really. Interesting selection of goodies in the museum shop too. Only gave it 4 stars because the cafe and restaurant area is closed down for now. Its nice to relax with a coffee when youve had a trip round a museum.

    Arranged a specialist tour for a group. The museum has had a great upgrade and modernisation. Many interactive displays going through the history of the Army. We then had a private visit to see items specific to the Machine Gun Corps which was really great. Uniforms and equipment with staff on hand to explain in detail. Tours have to be paid for and at least 2 weeks in advance. We didn't mind paying, we always make a donation anyway. Normal museum entry is free. Following the tour we had lunch in the cafe which is bright and airy and the food was very good with plenty of choice including for vegetarians. I'd recommend a visit, get some friends and prepare to pay as a group and you will get a lot from it.

You can see the skeleton of Napoleons horse, the bullet that hit Picton at Waterloo, the Queens REAL uniform during WW2. I could go on...so just go and bring the kids who can have fun dressing up and driving a tank!

Highlight were the Women in the Army session and the guard post costumes. The museum is free for entry and sons across 3 floors. You can easily spend 2 hours there. Also, there is a cafeteria inside

    A historical place to explore Israel. It was a very hot day when my group members and I visited here. There were a lot of historical monuments. What was spectacular was the pond located nearly at the end of the tour route. There were many people, young and old, men and women, enjoying the pond. Some were touching the water, some were just appreciating the view. Recommended for anyone interested in the history and nature of Israel.

    Great place for young children to experience a water-filled nature hike. Plenty of shade for the hot summer days, and whether you take the long way around or the short, the wading pool at the end makes it all worth while. Good access for those with mobility challenges to enjoy the reserve and pool.

    Great nature reserve, the first part of the routes is accessible for strollers or wheelchairs and there are more areas to explore by hiking. Lots of shades and flowing water all year long, and also small kids pool to refresh yourself in summer time (The water are cold!). The place is recommended for several hours in the nature for all ages.

    (Translated by Google) For me, Tel Dan is a must-see hiking site, when you reach the Rosh Pina area and the north. A family hiking trail, suitable for all ages. A very beautiful route. Conducts in its first part on highly maintained wooden bridges. You are hiking in mid-August, and do not feel the heat. There are completely shaded sections. There are passages where you get a cold and refreshing breeze. Result of air cooled in the creek water. Enchanting corners, and a lovely paddling pool at the end of the short route. Much of the route is accessible for prams and the disabled. A visit should be arranged during the corona period. Very convenient to carry out, on the website of the Nature Reserves and Parks Authority. Do not allow entry beyond a certain occupancy. highly recommend. Entrance fee (free, of course for nature and park authority cache card holders). Worth to come, walk and enjoy (Original) מבחינתי, תל דן הוא אתר טיולים חובה, כשמגיעים לאזור ראש פינה וצפונה. מסלול טיול משפחתי, שמתאים לכל גיל. מסלול יפה מאוד. מתנהל בחלקו הראשון על גשרי עץ מתוחזקים מאוד. אתה מטייל באמצע חודש אוגוסט, ולא מרגיש את החום. יש קטעים מוצלים לגמרי. יש קטעים שאתה מקבל משב רוח קר ומרענן. תוצאה של אויר שהתקרר במי הנחל. פינות חמד קסומות, ובריכת שכשוך חביבה בסוף המסלול הקצר. חלק ניכר מהמסלול, מונגש לעגלות ילדים ולנכים. צריך לתאם מועד ביקור בתקופת הקורונה. מאוד נח לביצוע, באתר רשות שמורות הטבע והגנים. לא מאפשרים כניסה מעבר לתפוסה מסויימת. ממליץ מאוד. כניסה בתשלום (חינם, כמובן למחזיקי כרטיס מטמון של רשות הטבע והגנים). שווה להגיע, לטייל וליהנות

The great wonder will be revealed in the small paths that pass between the trees of the reserve and the waterfalls and next to the river.

    Displays could be made with a view to engage children more. Doesn't have anywhere to rest, except for a small cafeteria. Was told we couldn't sit down anywhere inside to eat a snack. Only a small museum, but they don't get a large number of visitors, so a couple of chairs could be placed with Covid-19 safety measures easily managed. We fell upon a soft play area which was deserted, and apparently the pre-booked tickets were sold out. When I ordered my tickets for the day online, there was no mention of the soft play area, and other than myself there was a small school group (too old for soft play) and hardly anyone else, let alone ones young enough for soft play!

    The story told in the museum begins in 1415, when the British Isles emerged from internal strife and the king's eyes turned to Europe as well as to the sea, leaving the island to become king. The following year, Henry V and his 6,000 troops defeated 25,000 French troops at a place called Agnicote in Calais, northern France. From then on, the British Army frequently crossed the channel and took part in continental warfare. The more attractive rooms of the British Army Museum are the exhibition of the uniforms of the British Army over 500 years, the life of British Army officers and soldiers in the 18th century and the Battle of Waterloo. Those interested in the military should not miss this exhibition.

    The NAM is a wonderful museum for kids and adults alike. As someone who works with small children, it's a place I can come to knowing they will have a fun time. The playbase for kids is best booked ahead of time. They have a cap on the number of people who can attend and it's well set up, manned and resourced. The museum itself is very interactive with exhibits to march along to, crawl under and listen to. The uniforms are really fun for the kids to look at. The cafe is lovely and reasonably priced.

    One of my favourite museums in London. Visited today and have been impressed by the planes especially those from WWII. Recommended.

    The National Army Museum is a fascinating exhibition of the history of the British Army from early times through to the present day. Not only does it cover the campaigns around the globe that the Army have undertaken, it also gives a account of other nationalities who have fought in the British Army. There is a superb exhibition on the contribution made by the British Indian army in WW1. This includes Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. The museum impresses the visitor on arrival with a Challenger tank outside the main entrance and a Lynx helicopter hanging from the ceiling of the vestibule. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. They certainly enhance the visitor experience. There is so much to see in this museum that you could return and still see something new. There is an excellent research facility here with helpful staff to assist you obtaining a readers ticket and guiding you through the online catalogue of documents that are available to be seen. As with all research libraries you should do this online preparation before visiting so that the documents can be brought out of store in advance of your arrival. It will save time and disappointment if the item is not on site. This museum caters for all age groups. During my visit I noted a school group involved in a number of activities. There is a good cafe here and cloakroom facilities. I would recommend this museum and will certainly be returning.

    What an excellent and well curated museum. The staff were polite and helpful, the museum itself was spotlessly clean and the exhibits well displayed. It was easy to spend a few hours engrossed in the history and evolution of the army. Fantastic time

    Beautifully presented and spacious museum. Charting the history and role of the English/British/UK army from it's 'modern (1600s)' beginnings to now. The exhibits are presented very well- a few well chosen ones pertaining to the subject at hand- and you can see a lot of them from all around angles. The info blurbs are well written and clear. Staff were very friendly and there is an added bonus of a cloak room. The cafe offers a great selection and was well presented as well! Definitely worth a visit if you are interested in not just the army but history in general. The activities for kids/families looked fun as well!
