Visited Huntsville for the afternoon. Stopped into the museum after seeing it on trip advisor. The museum has something for everyone. Military history brought to life with pictures and exhibits. Very friendly people to answer any questions that you may have. I would highly recommended a stop here.
Staff was very friendly, a large selection of all kinds of military uniforms / vehicles / weaponry from various wars. Is a very nominal entry fee, I think $5 per person and $1 for each child. We children were entertained as well, it was a shame it's not a larger space as it is a very large collection.
One of the most amazing collections of artifacts and vehicles I have seen. The world war 2 displays were very well done.
I have been to many more than 50 military museums all over the world and have never seen some of the artifacts in this museum (albeit some are replicas). While not particularly "kid friendly", my G'kids really enjoyed it (over a >3 hour visit). The volunteer staff is very caring and I didn't mind overpaying the modest "suggested" donation (it is a charitable organization).
Great location to visit that has lots of war artifacts. The volunteer staff is extremely friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommend.
The displays are authentic and the tour guides are well versed and usually ex-service personnel. As an ex Air Force person, I really appreciate how clean and well kept his place is and how they honor veterans.
This is one of the finest military museums I have ever been to. It has some of the finest restored military vehicles I have ever seen. The quantity and quality of the displays are phenomenal. This museum has one-of-a-kind items like the first Army jeep and a rifle off a destroyer that was at Pearl Harbor that likely fired at attacking Japanese aircraft. I'd recommend the name be changed to "American" Veterans since it honors all veterans and Huntsville is the home to several Confederate units. Confederate soldiers are "American" veterans by acts of Congress and are part of our local history as well! This museum is well-worth a visit. Plan to stay no less than two hours.
This museum was fantastic. It is not super easy to find and its not too pretty on the outside. But wow, when you get in there and see the sheer amount of pieces they have to view and talk to the staff it's amazing. If I had to choose a favorite piece it'd be the one of a kind jeep collection (literally)they have here. The "Pygmy" (the first Jeep prototype) and the story that you hear along with it are awesome.
When you pull into the parking lot it appears that you have found a junkyard with a very small building in the middle. What a surprise, when you enter the building it is much bigger than anticipated and so much historical stuff to view. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We didn't have much visit time because we arrived late and it was closing soon but we are most definitely headed back soon.
