My Armor Officer husband has been wanting to visit for a while so a quick day trip happened. I m not a big military history buff but I thoroughly enjoyed the visit. We started by walking the property and viewing the variety of tanks on display. My husband was like a little boy identifying the ones he s been in or has seen. It was a beautiful day so it was a lovely walk. It s not a huge area so it was a manageable walk for any age level. Little kids were climbing all over the tanks. The museum inside the building is impressive. You begin the tour with a video. When it ends you enter the museum as if you were coming off a landing craft. The door opens and you pour out into the museum. Very cool. The displays are very well done and include so much historical info. We walked it slowly so we could read it all. One of my favorite part was the virtual reality simulation of a raid in Iraq.
