👍 It was our first time here. We made reservations since they use crowd control; they do accept walk in thou. Is very interactive and a cellphone for pictures is a must. The only issue is that a lot of pictures online are from different city exhibits so we were expecting some backgrounds that are not...

👍👍 First time coming here, will not be the last. The facility is a unique tribute to the military, America, and our Nation's history.

The ceiling is really co...

👍👍 This is a well curated local museum with tons of local history crammed into a compact space. The kids loved the scavenger hunt and it was challenging enough to keep them engaged and interested in the history.
