Reviews of Kruse Museums (Museum)

Trevor Berry

What a cool experience. Getting to see a room full of classic and movie cars was awesome. Particularly fond of the Batmobile display. I would pay to see that alone.

Nice place

Laura Cramer

Very nice museum

KickboxBaneneh

amazing place to look at cars and learn about ww2

Tanner Runkle

Great place too learn an see incredible stuff!!

Tim Miller

Even though they advertised as being open the doors were locked.

Operation Treadstone

I will keep this to the point. I felt ticket prices were too high, 15.00 for one adult. At first, the huge building seemed impressive, but when you walk in, you see that 1/3 of the building is empty. The lighting was absolutely terrible, prepare yourself if you plan pictures. The actual displays were rather smallish and poorly executed. The only refreshments was a soda can dispenser and the bathrooms were GROSS. If I was you, I'd reconsider another attraction. Nearby Grissom Air Park was MUCH better if you like planes.

Molly Rosenbury

All the old cars are neat here. Alot of cool history here

Beth Keehan

A work in progress but is great already

Norm Getts

It seemed unorganized. Crowded exhibit displays

Steven Wysong

I was disappointed in the car part of the museum, I went probably 4 year prior and it was outstanding. Now they have maybe only 1/3 of what the use to, the military part is amazing and definitely worth a look but if your looking forward to the automotive section you will be disappointed because they sold most of them at auction and there now building a ballroom.

Dennis Spencer

Nice place to see old cars

Kristen Clark

Neat stuff, but an odd little museum. Needs more signs with the cars on display so people like me can learn more about them. The military side was really really dark & there was no air conditioning. Both women's restrooms needed attention.

Kirk Miller

Needs a little more organization

jessica wilson

I loved it many years ago. Hope to visit it again

Bossdiva mathis

Went here for a gun show and it was a great experience

Jason Bontrager

Awesome place!

Donna Willis

Nice

Richina Fritz

Was awesome

Alex Rusetski

Stay away. This used to be a wonderful museum but now (August 2018) it is all but done. Most of interesting cars are gone and the military side is literally in shambles. Toilets haven't been cleaned probably for weeks. Very sad, but worst of all: they keep charging $15 entry fee. Shame.

Eric English

Huge collection of items.

Jacob Clendenen

Nice collection of wide variety of vehicles, from classics to movies to customs. Fun to see!

Al Clements

Great place to visit!

Todd Thrush6490

Great gun show. Lots of vendors and fair prices.

Karen Clugston

The craft fair was a total failure!!

Dave Hug

Great place can see the bat mobile, kit, and the general lee along with history from ww2

Rich Conrad

They certainly did downsize. This place is a hidden gem. Hopefully we will be able to go next year

Mr. Graywulf

Paid a visit here while camping next door ag the campground that is within walking distance. This place is awesome. If has a lot of military vehicles and displays that have very good discriptive relevant information with respect to the items displayed and the time in history that they represent. Yhey also have aoutomobile display that is part of the museum. This place is a must see if you are in the area or passing thru and have a few hours to spare.

Wes McClintock

Had time a dropped in here for a couple of hours. GREAT museum. Military, auto and I really enjoyed the old carriages. Lots of room to park.

Cindy Doyle

Major let down.... Billed as Monster Truck Hall of Fame....exhibits mostly closed or unable to be viewed....but no one told us and they willingly took our admission money.

Samuel Smith

Fun

elizabeth sanders

Soo much more! Was a great place.

Donald Hoffman

Nice look back at history.

Raymond Shelhart

Exhibits we close enough you can really get a good look and appreciation of displays, can't wait till we go back

Matt Ferdock

This museum is a real find. They boast many one of a kind Allied and German vehicles from WWII. They have a lot of floor space and house uniformed mannequins in various poses representative of German and Allied soldiers in WWII. We were lucky enough to have a guided tour by one of the knowledgeable and friendly staff. My son and I had a wonderful time and recommend this if you are in the area and if your not in the area make a detour to Auburn, and see what makes America great.

Nicholas

A great glimpse of history!

Joseph Traster

Class reunion was awesome ,, great stuff

Reuben Miller

Interesting and highly varied displays. Many movie props and vehicles

Kris Little

Wonderful place to see our history

Victor Bianchine

Great displays. Great place to hold special events also.

Brent Jackson

God bless America, and the General Lee

Doug Tester

Very Sad and disappointed ! My Wife's son came in from the Air Force to visit so I remember going here many years ago and thought we would take him today. The place might as well shut down as its a complete embarrassment and makes no sense. All the great military equipment they once had is gone and everything is just thrown together, big time shame. Very clear its going down hill and the funding is gone so its falling apart.. To Bad .....

Lisa Stevens

Great experience. A lot of exhibits have connections to Indiana residents. One admission gets you into two museums. Great value. The car museum attached to this is great! Batmobile, General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard and even Fonzi's motorcycle! And much more. Who knew these things were in Indiana! People were very friendly. Definitely worth stopping. There is also an antique mall and Ford museum in the same complex.

Just Rick

Kind of small, and was being remodeled when I was there

Jeff Lathrop

Museum had good information, disappointed some major items were up for auction. Very disappointed with the condition of the flags out front, and up the drive. These need replacing immediately. No excuses.

Joyce Rockenbaugh

Although there is a lot there I felt it wasn't displayed well. It was so very poorly lit it was impossible to read the information. There seemed to be plenty of lights but they weren't turned on. We were very disappointed.

andre v

Lots of great things to read or look at

James Braid

Awesome. Service was great.

Teena Peclet

This place is amazing!

Aly Plontz

This museum was priced too high. It looks huge from the outside but it should have been a sign to not go here when we were the only ones in the whole building. The car part of the museum was interesting but the war section was put together horribly. Nothing seemed to be in order and there were random mannequin hands, legs, bolts, and lights laying around everywhere. It was a really odd experience and we were disappointed.

Martin Taylor

Very Nice Place To Travel Back In History To See Amazing Thing That Makes Our Heritage Great

Justin W

Amazing place. Highly recommend that you make a trip there

Test One

I was there for the race car swap meet and car show. I enjoyed but I so much wish they would have had more cars for their show. The museum seem to be empty same as so many cars have been moved out. I hope and pray that more will come back and place their car back into the showcases.

Christian Spencer

Lots of great things to see In a very nice building.

Mike Hendricks

Very interesting. Much to see. So many beautiful cars! The racing museum in it is so interesting. The military part is very useful in explaining our military. Thank you for providing the MiLITARY for us. The admission is well worth just one of the museums in the building, let alone all 4 different for one price. Thank you!

Grandma Spicy

We visited during our grandson's Turning Blue and Graduation. It was overwhelming! The volunteers are so educated and helpful. We especially enjoyed the Fife & Drum restaurant atmosphere and believe it should be advertised more to the families for a lunch. With it closing at 5, the lunch hour is a must for dining after graduation or a visit.

Jeffrey Yeager

We had an awesome time at this museum. It's like a blast from the past. It was amazing to see the details of the uniforms and the vehicles are astonishing. If you get to the area you will want to see this. I made our trip ...

Charles Bennett

I really hate to say it, but this place has went way down hill. I've been here several times through out the years and it's just a shell of its former glory. It's mostly empty with no direction for the displays. The car and war part are tiny compared to the last few times I have been here.

Cody Haviland

We held a conference here. The location was great. They did an excellent job taking care of us and the price was reasonable.

j S

Neat cars and history

Mark Franco

Got robbed

Jordan Sanderson

Drove almost an hour to check out the museum, when I got there nobody was at the front desk, but their half eaten lunch was there. I called the museum multiple times, walked through the building (which was mostly dark) and called out to ask if anyone was there. After about 15 minutes of not hearing or seeing anyone, I wrote my number and a note on the front desk and left. I never received a call back so I called them only to be told that they were doing inventory in the back. I find it unprofessional to not have the museum lights on, not be at the front desk, not leave a sign, and be unreachable when the museum is OPEN. A waste of time... sadly.

Eric T

Very dark.

Aidan Hepworth

Awesome place to go if you like world war history, it has a plethora of items, vehicles and stories to look at.

indytom13775

Loved this place

Rachel Hunter

I enjoyed the history that this museum has to offer.

Roger Habegger

Very nice place clean and staff is friendly

Joshua Couts

Great Museum!

Dennis Miller

It's small but worth a visit.

Christina Warren

After driving by this museum for many years, we recently decided to stop and visit. On the plus side, it's very easy to find. Plus, it's an absolutely huge building. I recently saw it referred to as an "expo center" and I think that describes it better than a "museum". The reason for the three stars is this building doesn't really have a focus. Where we entered was set up for an event (wedding?). Next, you see a sign that says WWII Victory Museum with a few mannequins. Plus a sign that said Gift Shop & ATM but we saw neither. Then there's the baseball exhibit. Nearby were out of order drinking fountains and the restrooms. The ladies room was clean enough but had two out of order stalls and only one working sink. Next you enter a half-empty exhibit room with books and photos. Then the massive area of military history, in no particular order. The two large dioramas were well done. The next room said "Home Front" with very little to see. This room also contained the Monster Truck displays. My husband enjoyed the car "museum" side of the building. Perhaps that's where this place is going. More towards vehicles? One can only guess

soga80

Disappointing this time. Was there a year ago and seems like half of both museums are now gone.

Buck Howard

There's some cool cars and trucks here, the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Randy Barton

A neat place to see years gone by.

Bedford Crenshaw

Mom and I chose wisely by picking this for our Smithsonian Museum Day free admission. Lots of cool WWII vehicles on one side, and may interesting custom car show pieces in the other side, including KITT, the A-Team van, and the Batmobile from Batman Returns. They have plenty of room to add more stuff. However, calling themselves the "National" one is definitely a bit presumptuous.

Sue Nelson

We didn't get there in time before they closed. It literally was 5:00 pm walked up to the door and they were closed.
