Excellent visitor center with some exhibits. Because of rain, I didn't get to the rest of the park, but what I did see was clean and pleasant. Definitely will make another trip to complete the tour.

As most National Parks, this is a great opportunity to learn history firsthand. Stand on the edge of the Crater, close your eyes and imagine the horror of that explosion, that led to the end of the not-so-Civil War.

we only had a short window, and watched the inhouse movie, then a quck tour via car of the battlefield, purchase the CD, it helps on the car tour, and is very informative, worth the trip!

Crater tour one of the best park ranger talks I have ever heard. Would definitely return.

The museum has alot of interesting artifacts and they show a film to acquaint you with the facts. Then you walk around the battlefield, which is amazing. This is a great take in if you love history as I do...
