Reviews of U.S. Army Aviation Museum (Museum)

Rachel-Joshua Arney

This is definitely a fabulous museum. Make sure you go early and have a little bit of time. To get on the military base, you'll need to have proper ID and a pass. Once you've got that, the museum is literally around the corner. Mr. Mark was a great guide and he was very kind with the children. He was extremely informative! The museum has so much history and information, it definitely takes at least 2 hours to go through.

Marli Meyers

It has so many awesome aircrafts.

Joshua Williams

Well worth a visit. Only had an hour or so, so I didn't get to see nearly enough. Recommend allowing a few hours.

Debbie Hoover

Enjoyed the aviation museum and caught part of a graduation ceremony. Especially enjoyed seeing the helicopters my husband learned to fly while in flight school 30 years ago. Also enjoyed seeing the bricks of those retired pilots.

Aaron M

Great museum with lots of old Army airframes.

Steven Wolf

Always adding new aircraft...the highlight for me is the Blackhawk that was involved in the actions in Somalia. If you visit checkout the gift shop...lots of cool stuff.

Joe LeBlanc

Great experience and very accommodating

A McCollum

I mean... what else are you going to do in Enterprise/Daleville/Ft Rucker?? In all seriousness the Museum has done a grest job in the recent years of making the most with the space they have. They have soo many amazing one of a kind experimental aircraft and pieces that really bring to life the Army Aviation Legacy... if only the Army would properly fund them. The volunteers are always very friendly and always willing to talk or share stories. You can almost always find a veteran of aviation past strolling about. It really is the #1 thing to do in the Wiregrass area.

The staff is always helpful and friendly and there is a wide array of aircraft to enjoy. It would be nice if there was a kid zone or more kid friendly activities for the little ones. Overall, we visit regularly and enjoy ourselves.

Jake Shaffer

Museum is great, older fashioned exhibits. There is a lot of stuff. A person could easily spend 2-3 hours here. There is also a gift shop with a lot of stuff for sale

Great place to learn about Army Aviation. The birthplace of the Army Warrant Officer, Ft Rucker.

Renee' Sheldon

Amazing place for everyone. Celebrate our men and women who have served our great country to give us all our freedom by visiting the museum!

This is the home of Army aviation. The personal that run this place love what they do and why they do it. What you will see here is a timeline leading up to current aviation in the Army.

Jervon Hale

Geraldine Wedderburn

Very nice.

J Skin

Great, I like it a bit more everytime I walk in.

David Jonas

I've always felt that the home of Army Aviation would be more interested in having a nicer museum. Now, there's nothing wrong with this museum. It's nice but if you were to compare it to any of the other service's museums (Navy at Pensacola, the multiple AF museums, etc), you'll see that the Army is lagging behind. In fact, the other Army museums (such as the artillery museum at Fort Sill, et al) are much nicer. It's worth a visit but it's never felt to me that there has been a whole lot of love or funding given to this museum. It's unfortunate.

Cathy Mendiola

It has an array of wonderful history memorabilia and I enjoyed the history..

Ian Lowery

An eye opening look on U.S. Army aviation history! Its a must see!

Aimee Leestma

An amazing experience that absolutely wowed me! I highly recommend spending quite a few hours there. Was fortunate to be able to watch a Cadette graduation

Mark Haroldson

Great museum with a nice variety of helicopters. Many thanks to the men and women who have made this place a reality. As well as thanks to the brave men and women who have been part of Army aviation!

George medley

A great place to visit. I grew up here around Ft Rucker and love seeing the history. I try to bring my kids and grand kids to show them. Love it

Bryan Pitchford

I'm not Aviation, rather I'm Army Logistics. This museum is incredible! It's comparable to the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, except that every piece of equipment in this museum is ARMY AVIATION, which is cool! There are small planes, large planes, small helicopters, large helicopters, and the museum walks you through Aviation advancements from the beginning through modern warfare.

mongoose caver

The museum was well maintained and it was easy to get around. Everything was very interesting.

Bernadette Taylor

Very inviting, helpful staff. Great way to see the history of Army Navigation.

Ret MSgt Barnes

Lots of information and loads of fun.

Reashea Thigpen

No matter how many times you go, there is always something "new" to see that you missed on your last visit.

Gary Darling

It's vear educational .aircraft from Wright brothers first military plane to some of the most famous helicopters in military service today. It's free. Please visit.

terry mints

I enjoyed the museum very much. I've been to several over the years. This one is small but very informative how the army's aviation came about. I've been to there academy and that museum so after seeing both I had a good understanding of the army's aviation came about. Thank you all veterans for your service

Marti Roach

Great place to see images of and history of Military service.

Chris Uriarte

Really cool place to learn about the Army's aviation history. Small museum packed with great exhibits. Neat gift shop as well. It is on a active military base, so plan accordingly and check the website for details/updates.

Richard James

Nice place to visit and see some nice old aircraft.

josie torres

Loved it first time ever going and went so fast. Next time I'll take my time.

Marvin Chaffin

Beautifully done! Worth the trip!

Remo Fischer

Very nice place to visit. Everybody is very friendly and helpful at the museum. That's worth five stars.

V S

I went here for my brother's retirement ceremony.

B L

Nice place! We were there for graduation so we didn't spend a lot of time actually visiting the museum, but it was a very beautiful place. Neat planes to see and even one you could get in! It's free to visit, so give it a try!

Valerie Summers

Informative museum for Military! I went back to the 40's entering this beautiful place

Robert M Duckworth

Great place. Long drive.

Mary G

Really nice museum. A few exhibits like a real cockpit that children can sit inside and an aircraft to walk inside. My only recommendation would be for a clear sign at the entrance of the museum pointing which direction in which to start. If you take an immediate right you can actually follow along the history of Aviation, but that wasn't clear so I did it out of order and it wasn't The Experience could have been.

Aah Haa

Very well organized. The volunteers were wonderful.

Chris Park

So many cool planes and helicopters. Fun for the whole family

Vickey Peel

I took our grandchildren to get away from the damage caused by Hurricane Michael. After 9 days with no water, power and cleaning up damage, we needed a break. The kids loved it. We made a day of it. We'll worth the trip.

Rick McCann

Really cool (and free!) museum, particularly if you're interested in helicopters.

Cicada Musselman

This place is amazing! My boyfriend had such a great time here. They have the most extensive collection of Army Aviation vehicles. From the original planes that they acquired from the Wright brothers A reproduction to Chinook's Huey's Comanches. They have really detailed dioramas with models in military gear. This is just a fantastically detailed Museum. And it's free! Just beware you do have to get a visitor's pass to enter Fort Rucker. This requires pulling over at the visitor pass entrance for a pass and getting a background check in order to enter the fort.

Chris Wright

Great experience. Many displays.

Mike Schwartz

Great presentation of the history of army air. Good info and really nice presentation of the aircraft.

Connie Latham

Well done, interesting

Jenna Oliver

I came for my sister's Warrant Officer Candidate graduation. The place looks so cool!

Alvin Durham

Thanks to my nephew who graduated there it was great.

Angel Ayala Valcarcel

That Museum is awesome! I hace a great time there. I highly recommend it.

I had the pleasure of attending my husbands wocs graduation here. Overall it was a great experience.

Warren Caudle

Definitely a great place!! Had 3 teenaged grandchildren, they loved it.

Steve Nibbelink

Cool museum. Love the M*A*S*H helicopter.

Jacob Giles

Great museum for army aircraft history

Amy Cleveland

I love bringing my little boy here. I started bringing him when he was 1 and now he's about to turn 2. He never gets tired of it. It is such an enjoyable atmosphere and everyone is so incredibly nice. We will be sad to leave. I recommend going on Mondays and Tuesdays if you have littles who just want to walk/run around and enjoy.

rockabllyrebl

Helicopters rule and everyone should want to fly one.

Betty Jeffrey

Perfect evening at the military ball. Food and service were great. Thank God for our service members who protect our freedom.

Wonderful collection of mostly rotary wing aircraft. I've been there several times and they've made a lot of improvements since my last visit. I do wish they'd improve the signage though.

Nina Parks

Come in and be amazed! Nice gift shop tpoo.

G C

I try and visit a museum every city I happen to visit and this one did not disappoint. It's always nice being able to see all the men, women, and machines that helped shaped our country. If you're ever in town, take a bit of time out of your day to come see history.

Dan Cartwright

Outstanding museum!

Greg Shipley

This military museum is by far the best one I've have been to by far. The exhibits were awesome and I learned so much about the history of Army Aviation. The curator was very informative and knowledgeable. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Great experience and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Most definitely will return for another visit.

Jeremy Armstrong

Great museum with a great gift shop too. Just wish they could have secured an Apache to make the museum complete. Would come again!

Shannon Trone-Richards

I attended my nephew's graduation from flight school and was impressed with the museum.

Joyce Wilhelm

Fort Rucker was amazing. My husband did his basic back in 1963! He didn’t recognize a thing, which shocked him. The museum was clean and very well maintained. The gift shop was neat and the restrooms were Immaculate. I sat and watched a video which I really enjoyed. This museum begins with the history of the wright brothers and how the planes were developed into war machines. It had the helicopters too. A lot of history was in this building. It made me sad and happy. We drove throughout the camp and looked into the PX too. Thank you to all the brave men and women who served and still serve today.

Pia MacDonald

This is a wonderful museum. It reminded me of the Smithsonian Air & Space museum in some ways. It is well worth visiting.

E Mitchell

Lots of new exhibits and helicopter history. If you haven't been for a while you need to go again.

Efrem Ford

Awesome place with history galore.

Eric Armbrust

Great historical rebuilds and site!!!

Freddie Clark

Great place to see the evolution of Army Aviation from the beginnings in the Korean conflict until present day. Free admission, Family oriented and several actual aircraft you can walk inside. Beautiful place that was built on what was a parking lot when I arrived for flight school on 1984.

Veronica Williams

This was an awesome museum visit. Interactive displays, a movie, everything to make it fun and informative.

Dana Brewer

Fantastic museum! Clean and well managed. Captures the best in rotary aviation history. Must see!

Great collection of flying apparatus!! Well presented and preserved.

Goerls Going Places

Very informative museum best part it is free to enter. (Donations are accepted) They have a small gift shop to buy souvenirs from and a elevator for disabled people to see the top floor. Lots of exhibits and it is self guided but they have an information desk if you have any questions.

salsero92 .

IT is AWESOME!!!! All the aircraft and all of the history is just out of this world. We enjoyed our visit so very much. I could come here all of the time if I lived here.

Diana Blanchard Gross

This museum is wonderful! The exhibits are great and the volunteer tour guide gave me a mini tour of the facility. Highly recommend

Mj Reusch

Truly amazing how much information and aircraft they can fit into this building, with more on the outside. They have really done a great job with this museum. It shows off the beauty and importance of the aviation division. Spent over an hour here and will definitely return if I ever get the chance to be back at Fort Rucker. There is also a small gift shop inside.

Robert Greene

Amazing venue. Great helicopter displays, helpful and informative volunteers. Will definitely visit again.

Brentt Moore

The museum features all kinds of different aircrafts, military records, uniforms, books, and more. There are plenty of different things to look at and read. Unfortunately, there were no guides or employees along the way that could provide additional insight into each gallery, but I would recommend a visit here if given the opportunity. Plenty of space for exploring.

JONATHAN MIZE

Always love going there!

Brenda Mark

Wonderful history great set up. Great event accommodations we perfect

Barnus Glover

Awesome display of aviation throughout the decades of advancement of flying.

Deana Spencer

Amazing historical planes and copters. Impeccably maintained

Went for my daughters graduation, was extremely nice, loved it! So much to see and become educated on.

Doug Miller

Great museum of aviation history with so many aircraft inside!

Ramiro Santiago

Always a good free visit for the kids. Adding the Berlin wall exhibit was a surprise. A bit more pix would have been great.

Laureen Johnson

Very informative and we really enjoyed looking at all the different helicopters and learning how they were used in the military.

Sylvia Irizarry

Lots of History here. Learned a lot about Aviation. Enjoyed our time. Very clean.

Mary Morrison

Been here three times now and always discover something new. Great display of aircraft.

william fox

Very awesome, best attraction in Pensacola hands down.. You couldn't be disappointed. Also hard to see everything in one day, it's in like 3 huge buildings. They have planes the kids can climb in and push buttons and a playground. Even if you're not interested in aviation it's impressive. If I were vacationing and was 2 hours away I would make the drive. Well worth it, especially with kids.

Deaunqua Bryant

The museum is a must visit for anyone in the area because it gives you so much history on Army Aviation and the local Ft. Rucker aviation contribution. Plus it is a great place to pick up gifts. :-)

William Peterson

Very well done, exhibits in excellent condition. Very friendly staff. Self paced. Open on 4th of July memorial day and veterans day as well.

ELVIS HARRIS RAMÍREZ

It has a small part of our history. The place is awesome ‼️

Dawson Hulme

Excellent place to interactively explore aviation history hands-on. Had one of only 2 RAH-66 Comanches in existence on display (they supposedly had another one but I couldn't find it). Super cool exhibition of military history. Some aircraft you can climb into as well as pilot some of the training vehicles actual army servicemen use(d). Well worth the hassle to get on base.

Craig Maxfield

Amazing experience. Worth the visitor's pass you have to get if not military!

Laura Riggs

Very good, will visit again when in this Area

Jean Valentine

Very very interesting

Miss Law

It was very historical, although I didn't see too many mentions about the Tuskegee airmen. One of which who worked as a flight instructor for 20 years.

Roger Eklof II

A pleasant museum with engaging employees.

James D Arnold

Fantastic variety of helicopters and fixed wing. The price is right... FREE Admission.

Thomas Georgiadis

Very cool! Historic obviously and everyone enjoyed it.

Michael Harper

Great history of Army Aviation. Has some new exhibits as well

Mike Isely

Absolutely great museum. The aircraft on exhibit are fascinating. Wish I had more time to spend there. (Been there twice actually and could still spend more time there.)

James Timms

Older plans to look at. Nice place to visit if you're in aviation.

Luis Garza

Always nice coming in here. Very educational, and also inspirational. I enjoy walking through during breaks in the day, even for a moment.

A. Apron

Great aviation history. Great display of legacy helicopters. Nice theater that has about 25 min of historical documentary footage. Helpful staff.

Kevin Moorhouse

Wonderful facility and informative staff. Movie was informational and educational.

Christina Anderson

Wish I had more time to spend reading all the history!

Kevin Poncel

Awesome museum and great staff. Good place to learn something while beating the heat.

Stephan Wilson

Excellent place to view the Army Aviation history. Could use a snack/refreshment place. Maybe some volunteers that flew or worked on them to answer questions. I didn't notice if there was one, but a recorded tour?

Bedford Crenshaw

I have definitely been to better aviation museums, and not only is it a pain to get onto the base, but it becomes a bigger pain trying to find it if you don't come from the right fort entrance, due to a lack of signage. Unless you live very close and very love copters, a recommendation to avoid.
