I took my youngest daughter to see some of the history her father was a part of. The exhibits were exceptional. There was a point where my emotions almost got the better of me. This museum is filling a large void with regards to information on the sacrifices our men and women in the Armed Forces have made to better this country and the world! The Staff was excellent! Definitely going back soon and frequently.

A great afternoon to learn and pay respect to our lost, current and future soldiers who protect us from harm. Well organized and displayed. This exhibit is free but highly recommend a donation to keep such an inspirational institution going so that we never forget what our soldiers gave/give up for the freedom we take for granted.

A wonderful visit to the Airborne and Special Operations museum just outside of Fort Bragg! Definitely allow yourself at least 2 hours to tour the entire facility and watch a few video loops. Admission is free and so is parking, there is a lot to see around the museum, memorial plaques and gardens to walk through.

Such a great homeschool field trip. There was so much to be taught and the museum does an excellent job illustrating the different roles and wars that took place. Can't believe it's donation only. They could easily charge a hefty entrance fee.

Wonderful museum! Lot’s to see, isn’t so big. Can spend all day reading the exhibits or can easily skim and not enjoy some history. Overall great experience my kids enjoyed. It is free but donations excepted. Noticed they had a lot of veterans working there, THANK YALL FOR YOUR SERVICE!!
