  This is a must see museum! Lots of history and information, it opens your eyes to the life of those who have fought for our freedom. There are many different airplanes to see, simulators, movies, a gift shop and so much more. The facility is beautiful and we'll kept. This is a great family outing and good for all ages. We brought our 10 year old daughter and 20 year old niece, both enjoyed it and want to go back again.

  We loved this museum. We had 4 kids with us ages 8, 10, 12, and 15 and we all enjoyed the museum. We were honestly kind of nervous to take time away from the beach to go to a museum but ended up so happy that we did. The history inside that building is incredible and so interesting. Be aware that every adult has to have identification to enter the property. Thank you for preserving history and to those who have donated their personal items to be included in this museum.
