I am a WWII history buff. This place has a German Mark IV Ausf H tank, a Russian t-34, and many many other interesting exhibits you would literally have to go to Europe otherwise to see. The displays are well done and have a lot of information posted about them. Very creative. I have probably been there 5-6 times in... More

This museum has a very small staff that works endlessly in keeping the facility clean for our visitors so that they can enjoy a pleasant atmosphere while touring the facility, and we... More

“An Amazing Collection of Tanks and Militaria”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I was absolutely stunned by the tanks, rifles and other weapons on display at this museum. I have no trouble believing the museum's claim that it has one of the finest tank collections in the world because there are many amazingly historic tanks on display there. However, what truly bowled me over were the collections of other militaria that this... More

“Worth price of admission”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

My thoughts: >$10 is not too expensive for what you get with this museum. Over 100 tanks, plus other military weapons, vehicles and uniforms >Our 9 and 10 year old boys did not get bored in the 2+ hours that we visited >They have actually taken some time to theme many of the displays around the tanks, some albeit with...

“Excellent displays that fail to inform.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

This museum is a real accomplishment for the A. A. F. I hope they continue their effort of carefully and accurately restoring armored fighting vehicles for display to the public. The tanks and other vehicles are only part of what’s available here- there’s uniforms, individual weapons, and armored fighting vehicle instrumentation and optics, too. Very impressive. It’s all indoors and... More

“It was ok”

The exhibits were great but I was confused by the yard sale and/ or flea market that was in there too. Things were set up a little to haphazard. More
