REVIEWS OF Texas Military Forces Museum IN Texas

Leo Stavinoha Jr.

Variety of military vehicles & artifacts. Must go in July to paid event to be able to get into the tanks. Otherwise it is free and pretty amazing.

Sam Bederman

Super underrated musuem, where you can see interesting artifacts and lots of tanks and machinery

Brian Dickey

Loved it! Very informative and it had a great almo recreation!

David Watts

This place is amazing! We take our kids often, they love it and it’s FREE! As a history nerd I love it. Getting to see up close the vehicles and weapons used by both sides in multiple wars. Goes back to the fight for Texas Independence, the Civil War, World War I and II, Vietnam, Operation Iraqi Freedom and the War on Terrorism. Has good book and gift section as well with rows of tanks to see outside the museum. You won’t be disappointed!

Thomas Cochrane

expansive collection of gear! Also very nice to have a chat with one of the veterans

Katherine Estrada

Friendly staff. Truly enjoyed the history.

Dena Baker

A little known jewel! I could have spent all day here! My grandkids loved it too

Greg Zorbach

What a hidden gem. Could easily spend a couple of days here.

C. Go

Camp Mabry is a great resource for a surprising amount of history. Rooms are set by period and location and had quite a lot of items from around the world. Although it first appears rather small you discover the side rooms. It's like walking through time as you learn about and view all the different items. As you walk through the museum you discover that the building itself is a part of Austins rich military history! Be sure to walk around the outside to see the impressive collection of tanks! There is also a walking track (maybe half a mile long) that has helicopters and jets on display. A great way to spend an afternoon.:)

Memes And Pepe

Two of the people who worked there were really rude and wouldn't let people touch the tanks outside in the sun on display with no fences. I was feeling the hull of the M60 and the woman talking to another guy who I assumed worked there rudely said "Don't touch the tank!" I assumed it was only that tank because it was somewhat rusted on the front. I apologized and moved on. I came to the M1 Abrams and I was looking at the side panel armor. I looked at the hinge and literally "pinched" it to feel how sturdy it was and the guy by her screamed "SHE TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH THE TANKS". Those two should be fired for that attitude and could've just kindly said "Hey could you please not touch the tanks" and include the reason of as to why not to touch them. There were signs on all of them except for two that said keep off but nothing about not being able to touch them. Overall a bad experience. The inside of the museum was cool but didn't have that much stuff. (Edit: by there not being that much stuff in the museum I should've clarified hands on stuff. And thank you for the reply. I had went on a Friday when this incident happened. The guy next to the girl had a black shirt with some sort of logo on the top left of the shirt. I guess the girl must've been part of the construction crew or something? But I'm not sure as to why she told me to not touch them.)

Stacey Davis

We love this museum. My boys have learned so much, and I always enjoy my time there. It's free to view the museum, but donations are accepted. Taking photos with the mighty machines is a lot of fun for my boys and husband.

PD K

Very impressive place where people should visit. I went there with my two boys they really enjoyed a lot with overwhelming questions. Reminiscented those times when I served military officer about 15 years ago. All of the soldiers were really kind to us who passed by with big smile.

Jair H Castillo

Great museum. Don't miss it

Rich McMahon

Great place well worth visiting and supporting

Mike Coate

This was a nice museum and as a rule, I don't like museums.

Bob Sandberg

A special place with a lot of history. Well worth the visit.

Nelson Yoh

A memorial place to visit. Salute to all those who sacrificed to make the world a better place.

Aboriginal Indigenous Media

Excellence a must visit

Daniel Rothwell

On Memorial Day, Camp Mabry is an excellent place to celebrate and honor our veterans. They had live combat arms exercises and the Texas Military Forces Museum is extremely well done in presenting the story of Texas forces through history.

Anna Salazar

Kidos enjoyed the scavenger hunt! Lots of great information and items.

mark T

Very nice Museum with many vehicles in good condition. It is free but of course it's nice to make a donation. Great place to check out!

Andrew Griffiths

Hidden gem, the exhibits were nicely put together and the staff very knowledgeable. Spent about an hour and half in the museum and the surrounding outside displays

Noel Ramirez

Amazing museum.

Charlotte Johnson

They have some really neat exhibits. Plus Camp Mabry has a great running track with more for the kids to see.

Rebecca Paull

This state military museum has quite a few interesting exhibits if you are interested in military history and memorabilia. There are many Jeeps, tanks, armored cars, helicopters, planes, and other historical items on view. There is no admission fee. The staff are very helpful and friendly and there is a small gift shop on site with many inexpensive books and gifts for the history or military buff. I gave it a lower rating because it was fairly difficult to find although the military servicemen at the gate gave fairly good directions you have to drive on to the base and really look for the sign.

Tricia Ptak

The museum is a hidden gem! The gentlemen working there are friendly and knowledgeable. The displays and collections were interesting and educational. We will visit again.

San Czaplinski

Never knew this was part of Camp Mabry. This is definitely a treasure and worth seeing.

Rebekah Stofer

What a wonderful museum! They have collected Texas Military Memorabilia and seamlessly fit it into the larger context of every major military campaign in U.S. history. I also really enjoyed the layout of the exhibits. This museum had the right amount of artifacts on display and interactive exhibits. I will definitely visit again!

Michelle Ventura

I loved this place. If you want to learn about Texan history and enjoy antique warfare equipment like machine guns, bayonets, and tanks this is the place to go. They also have a fighter jet pilot cockpit for people to sit in. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. I'm surprised it's free!

Paul Buschow

Expansive, well laid-out and high quality exhibition of military history from the Battle of the Alamo to the modern Middle East campaigns, and Texas Military Force personnel assisting with natural disasters and global humanitarian missions. There were many large and incredibly detailed dioramas depicting pivotal campaigns throughout the museum. Two hours was not enough time, so we will need to come back!

Patrick Payne

Absolutely love it. Great crew there to talk to and very knowledgeable

Robert R

This is a very interesting museum with many important artifacts and engaging informational material. However, it's rather jingoistic tone and open emvracement of Texan Independence could be disturbing to some. The premises are also very clean and the staff friendly

Traveling Momma

Amazing place. Free. They take cash donations. Friendly. Huge, lots of stuff. Piece of Berlin wall. More outside to the right. On military base, kids thought that was neat.

SOTO WILKINS

Nice place to visit and learn some history. When we signed in the gentleman at the desk gave us some historical details on some of the items they had there. The kids had a good time.

al phillips

Loved the place. We arrived in time for a recreation of a WW II Battle between Germans and Americans which we weren't prepared for. Direct sun, no heat, no sun block and no water..... all Our fault. The facility was awesome... I wish I had been prepared

Candie Carda

I could have spent hours reading all about the many years of military history. The exhibits are first rate and admission is by donation, but I would have gladly paid to visit. This is a MUST see!

Chris Price

Great museum!

Tommy Jensen

Free admission, donations are happily excepted so bring a few bucks. They had a lot more stuff than expected and we spent some time there exploring and soaking in the history. You will need your ID to get on base so don't forget it.

Robert Bissonnette

Great place to visit for Texas military history

Cody Parker

Seriously cool seeing all that up close

Matt Rosenfeld

Very informative and well-laid out. Lots of history, both in artifacts and in reading.

Jason Ouellette

Our 5 year old absolutely loves this place! The vehicles are by far his favorite, but the model battle scenes are a close second. I love reading all of the historical info and despite visiting multiple times now - I’m still intrigued. Plus it’s a short walk to the road side models.

Sushil Kumar

A very nice place to know Texas Military history and contribution. Very nicely preserved history artefacts. I loved the tanks placed outside as well

Sarah Bailey

This place is awesome!! So many cool military vehicles to look at and learn about! Great for kids and adults alike! Can't beat free either! We will be back.

JA Spencer

Interesting place run by people who are deeply committed to the museum.

Maria Matias-Ali

My son's really enjoy going to this Museum since the last time we've been they have added new sections. We went on museum day and they got to make dog tags which they enjoyed doing. Customer friendly nice people working there. When you first enter you do go through an ID check at the gate before you can get to the museum which makes Safety and Security much better. They even have a new section where kids can try on some gear and uniform jacket.

Miguel Rodriguez

Came here with my family couple months back and we loved the vibe, the guide was friendly.

jim doss

Very well done

Cait Martin

Held a work conference here- excellent space and accommodating staff!

Debbie Hall

Saw the WW demonstration. Awesome display. Look forward to others

Woeful Doeful

Free admission plus extremely cool displays, this place should definitely be visited if you're in the area.

Silviu Daniel Popescu

My son was very happy.

Erika Buenrostro

A must once in town! Very nice and informative! Nice people to talk to. I really enjoyed the visit

Phaino Aletha

Interesting vehicles and facts and a lovely scavenger hunt. Personnel were friendly and knowledgeable. The Confederate area needs some guidance in its entrance at least. I know this is a texas military museum but I feel strongly that we should not seem like we are praising people like Lee. I would not hang on my wall that Hitler thought I was super cool. I do not think visitors should be greeted to the area with the high praise of a person who fought to separate the United States of America and supported abominable ideals (even in his era!). The state of Texas ha sa great military history but I think there is a way to display that without seeming to support the racist, evil cause of the confederacy to dehumanize all Americans and continue to marr the face of our great nation through the institution of slavery. It is going through renovations and I look forward to seeing them. I do hope they get funding so sign the book! It is a great place for kids and families and a wonderful way to spend the day otherwise. You can really bond with them over history. It is a great visit for himeschoklers as well to learn about science as well as history and politics.

Paul Perez

Touch a Truck was great! Get there early and bring stuff for a picnic!

Carina Bracer

Was not prepared for such an amazing military history class with such a variety of displays. Loved all the maquets especially!

George Wang

This is a really cool place to visit. I've always been fond of military history and this place has it. There's a good collection of world war 2 mechanized vehicles, allied and axis both. Also historical videos and real weapons used by the US army throughout it's history is here. There's even a tactical nuke rocket model out front. Scary and cool to see on a map the impact of something like that can do. Oh it's free to visit as well. Overall, highly recommended if you like military history.

Jon Lew

Amazing museum, especially considering it's free! Really provides a Texas-centric view of military engagements through the years - from Mexico secession all the way through 9/11 and current day. There's an F-16 (?) Trainer that you and your kids can sit in for a photo and a whole lot of tanks, artillery and vehicles too. An all around great experience. The docent was super friendly and accommodating as well - all around, A+ gem that I never knew existed even as a 15 year Austin resident.

Michael lang

Well done military museum with plenty of exhibits to check out. Definitely worth checking out!

Parker Malone

Despite ongoing renovations, the Texas Military Forces Museum is well worth the visit. I really enjoyed talking with the volunteers, and learning about the role of Texas throughout US military history. Especially considering it's free admission, this is a must-see museum for anyone interested in military history while in Austin. 10/10. When I first walked into the museum, my eyes were immediately drawn to the impressive vehicle collection spanning service from WWI through the Korean war. It's easy to spend all of your time staring at these vehicles, but I really enjoyed walking through the many detailed exhibits - on one side, telling the story of the 36th Infantry Division from it's inception in WWI through it's victory in WWII and, on the other, the story of Texas' involvement in the military from the Texas Revolution through the Civil War, and on into the War on Terror. Once you've taken in the internal exhibits, be sure to step outside to "Armor Row" to see a variety of tanks, logistics vehicles, and artillery. As someone that just stared down the barrel of an M1A1 Abram, I never appreciated the intimidating presence of these beasts until now.

Jason Scheffer

My son and I enjoyed the history scavenger hunt. He learned a lot today! Thank you to all those that currently serve and to those that gave all to serve this country.

Carol Covert

The museum houses an impressive collection and the reenactments are stirring. Where else will you see the Sherman tank & Hetzer tank buster tracking across a field?

Panda Star

There is alot of amazing history

Don Degerstrom

Friendly, knowledgeable staff. So many exhibits make it worhty of a second visit.

Shonda Moore

Good display of military history.

Jim Irwin

Great exhibits, dioramas, resources. Free admission, and well worth a donation. Highly recommended.

Jason Manasseri

Was a volunteer here for many years! It has gone through many changes over time but the one thing they always do well is representing the history of the state of Texas. It is well worth a trip to it!

Francisco J Flores

Very nice, clean museum. Much history, great place for family outing. Great friendly staff.

Anthony Almond

An absolutely amazing place. Even if you're not a big military or war buff, the museum is full of interesting history and artifacts.

Torey Powell

Thank you to our men and women in uniform for your service. So glad to have this experience and be able to bring our young kids along. We arrived at approximately 11a and didn't leave until 12:43p. We took our time and really could have spent more time if our kids were not ready to go (they're young 5,7,10, don't really understand fully yet). I encourage anyone who visits to donate, as we did, even though it's free. Don't forget to see the support vessels and planes outside nearby. Just need you drivers license to get passed security. BTW keep your kids OFF the exhibits.

J P

Awesome and very well maintained. Staff member or volunteers we're walking around and answering questions the entire time we were there. Awesome collection of vehicles and weapons.

R Smith

Great place, surprised there was no charge for admission. Staff was friendly and helpful. Museum has things to see inside and out. Good for kids a few displays that are able to clime in.

Jason Winkler

Really cool free place. I really enjoyed it and my 7 yo did also. Lots to see.

Ana Zamora

So amazing to see everything they have. Was very clean and nice and cool in the hot summer day. Very helpful staff. Thank you!

Kayla Rowan

It is wonderful at showing an in depth view into the role the Texas Military Forces played in helping shape our nations history. Loved the visit!

Jamin Bickel

An interesting and well-curated retrospective of Texas' involvement in military action around the world.

Mohamad Youssef

Really nice place, friendly staff and amazing place to spend some time and get to know a lot about history

April Billingsley

I loved seeing all of the different military stuff they had. They also had a scavenger hunt for kids.

Cyndy Bluis

The museum has amazing exhibits. I also enjoyed looking outside at the tanks and helicopters!

Yoram Kalman

An interesting and richly stocked military museum. A lot of textual explanations, that could possibly be made more concise, and/or provide additional context. The historical perspective is very military and local-patriotic, but that is what I expected, so I was not disappointed by the lack of a more critical perspective. The museum is significantly larger than it seems when you first step in, and a curious adult can spend several hours exploring all of the exhibits.

Linda Shaughnessy

We honor our heroes. Great museum.

Johnathan Bowman

Definitely worth a visit. Way bigger than you'd think by the outside of the building's looks. Many things to learn and lots of detail in all the plaques. Lots of variation between people, places and artifacts. Neat dioramas depicting battles.

Amy Parker

A great family activity in the heart of Austin. The veteran staff is knowledgeable, welcoming and gracious. Adults and children will both enjoy and appreciate the interactive exhibits. An amazing time capsule of a museum!

songwei wu

really a good place to visit

Elizabeth Guilbeau

The museum was very well put together. My toddler enjoyed it as much as my 8 year old (in different ways) and I’d love to go back when I’m not chasing a toddler so I can read some of the displays better. They even had a section for the war on freedom. Missing one star because it was rather hot inside. I think the AC was on but not running well.

Alan Crider

Excellent military history museum hidden in the middle of Austin. Just remember to bring a photo ID to come on post.

Thomas Ganss

It's a great museum. The inside is filled with fantastic artifacts and very educational placards. The outside hosts a ton of historical tanks and aircraft. And it's free!

Ivan Kostyuk

Amazing museum. Interesting exhibits. Outstanding staff formed by veterans. Keep in mind, it is inside military base. Outside you can find big heavy vehicles. My whole family enjoyed.

Susan Lemke

Really impressive displays of our military history. The museum is actually very large. There are a number of winding pathways through side rooms, off the central display area of large vehicles, weaponry, and aircraft. There is a blend of traditional placards and new touch screens to learn about each of the artifacts. Its a nice way to reconnect with the efforts of our Texas Military Forces, and the largest employer in the world, our United States Military.

Lewis M

Worth a visit if in the area. Pretty small but a decent museum. Was made better since we had an ex military officer as a personal guide who knew extra detail beyond what was on show. 3 stars is good but there was no real flow to the exhibit so I decided against 4.

Anand Prasad Kruttiventi

Part of Camp Mabry - lots of exhibits and somewhat difficult to make sense of all if them. Could be organized better.

Frank Rhodes

A nice view of Texas Military history. And it is free

Ninamay Hoffheiser

Great place. My kids loved seeing pieces of history. It was a great little stop while visiting Austin. We look forward to visiting again.

Diana Grinman

Lots of history, nice setting, Texas/Mexico room is nice

Jessica Cannon-Lear

Kids loved it. Was able to go for 2 hours and still need to go back too see more

Robb Poirier

Free, you can touch almost everything and sit in a cockpit. Very cool for historians.

Amanda Horner

The men in our party loved the museum, and it wasn’t boring for the women. We were there on a day when school groups were going through, so when we were trying to enjoy the rooms with Texas military history from the 19th century, it was hard to concentrate due to the loud presentations going on for the elementary kids. The docents were helpful and friendly. What I enjoyed most was driving down the row of old tanks outside. I had hoped the museum would have more airplanes, but the few airplanes were located a distance away from the museum, on display too far for us to walk to. There was one plane inside the museum where you could climb into the cockpit. It was a good experience overall.

Randy Canales

Everything they had there was wonderful and my seven-year-old loved it as well. If you or your child are interested in Texas military history I recommend this place

Danh Tran

We like the museum. The Vietnam War 1968 is awesome. We surely be back for other shows, a 4 hours plus round trip from Houston driving to here was worth the trip.

Richard

A great stop if you’re interested in Texas and the military! Very well done and lots of great pieces of history. The museum is located in the dining hall build for WWI so it huge and packed end to end! Free admission and you could easy spend several hours looking through the whole thing!

Isabella Thompson

I have been never seen this type of Military museum before. This is my first time. This museum has a great collection Military old tank, helicopter, many accessory and many things which I was unknown to me.

Charles Litavic

Great Texas Military Museum...free. Camp Mabry Military Museum was outstanding...Lots to see..real ww1 and ww2...Korean War. And a big thanks to the Vet who worked the front Dest.

ChP Payne

Visit this place for good historical information and equipment used in war from Texas and videos.The people are nice too.

Suchithra Ramaswamy

Great museum to understand some history. The airplane exhibits are outside are also nice to check out

Kirill Bobrov

It was awesome. I'm gonna come again.

Simox Limited

Nice little place to learn about the history.

Praval Godre

The experience was amazing. Got to see different types of tanks out there and learn some history of US. There were some helicopters as well. A car. Inside there is also a library where you can read books about US war and stuff mostly written through the eyes of soldiers and some directly written by themselves. You also get to sit inside a cockpit simulator but the seating is not large and meant for kids i suppose. Some tanks are kept on the backside of the museum. International tourist must keep passport with them as the museum is in secured military base and won't be given entry without ID.

Norman Lee

Very nice and informative

Hannah McIlheran

It was great you should check out the tanks

Doug Rutley

Great collection of seized WWII War trophies.

cindy bryan

Very interesting. Lots of stuff from each war.

Candy Dog

Very nice and informative, keep up the good work

Infoexpert X

Great military museum with a very extensive collection including a Honest John nuclear missile system, a Medal of Honor and improvised Iraqi weapons (see photos). A very impactfull video display brings home the cost of war by showing home snaps of some of those Texans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. The museum is fantastic but you would need a week to read all the information boards.

Andrew Cedergren

Loved this place and was amazing it was free! A little bit of an experience to get to it as you have to drive through a checkpoint at a military base and through the base roads, but it's not bad (just three rights at stop signs). Once you are there there are lots of equipment and tanks outside the building, and endless stuff inside. Great displays on the war on terror, lost squadron, military vehicles and the Texan wars. Worth a stop, you should definitely check it out!

Brian Fletcher

A great place to learn the histroy that Texans has served our great nation and the equipment we used. Open to the public come visit and support your Texas Military Forces.

Amanda A.

My kids like the place, my 9 year old son love watching the quick clip of the old video teaching you how to use a musket. I would recommend the place.

ep writer

Great place!

Brooke Layton

This place was very historic and it had a lot of different tanks on display which was cool seeing how big they were in person compared seeing them on the game called World of Tanks. They also had the Hetzer which is a tank played by many people on the game. Another cool thing was they had different sections from different wars and explained how Texas contributed to the different wars.

andrew wade

A great place full of awesome things that tell the history of the Texas armed forces, from civil war battle flags, to a cold war American fighter jet, I can't recommend this place enough.

suresh k

Fantastic place

Anas Jawish

Great place with different interesting events all the time that show case different eras

John Edwards

A very interesting and well presented series of exhibits and dioramas. I thoroughly recommend this museum to all those interested in the military history of Texas.

Dan Ziegler

Great place to visit. I would highly recommend

Marcus and maite

Excelent histories of our hereos!!

Lucy P

Small but fun. Very helpful and welcoming volunteers.

Bob Bryan

Well designed and organised. Wide open with good lighting. Always seems to be transitioning inside and out. Exceptional museum!

Kyle Stephens

Amazing museum with helpful staff and lots to look at! The tanks outside are maintained and they have informative and interesting plaques with cool information on each tank. Inside the museum, they have lots to read about and see, even Edwin Rommel's cap. A must-do if visiting the Austin area.

mike damommio

It was a great place learned a lot

corey mathis

I thought this was a pretty cool museum. Me being a US Army Veteran may have played a small role in how much I loved this place. I'd recommend bringing your family here if you're a home grown Texan for sure. And if you're a temporary texan just stopping through, this is a great place to make a pit stop and grow your kids Texas Military Forces History knowledge.

Ziomara De Araujo

It's was awesome, such a variety of tanks and displays. My children loved it.

Juanita Sabochick

This museum is very impressive. It had much more history and exhibits than I expected. We were there for two and a half hours and saw a lot. We skipped over some things but not much. It is worth another visit.

Paul Wilson

I took my son sitting the hands on event. He loved it! There are lots of tanks and military transports. A couple of planes and helicopters, some displays of different eras of wars, and lots of people specific weapons.

Amy R.

This was a pretty cool museum. Unfortunately I can't give it more than three stars because there wasn't any air conditioning and it was too hot to enjoy it. I feel bad for the volunteers! We might try again in the fall if we're in the area.

Fr. Daniel Storrs

An amazing free museum in Austin! Jump into history with interactive displays, dioramas, videos, and endless artifacts and Military vehicles from several wars. A great place to bring the family for an afternoon of history and insight.

Jimmy Boggs

Great exhibits. Friendly staff.

Tammi T.

We really loved this museum! We could've spent hours and hours there reading stories and looking at everything. Next year we plan to allow longer time to spend there. It was THAT good!

José Rentería Jr

The museum is small but has a few cool items on display of you're into USA military history. The signage outside on the vehicle displays could use some maintenance though.

ranyart37

Interesting displays.

Seolyk

It's small, but a great focus on Texas' contributions to the various military conflicts

Warren Caswell

Wonderful exhibits with very friendly staff and a price that cant be beat. Many exhibits could easily be a full day of study for an interested student. Also excellent galleries for young children and the not so detail inclined. Even some old WP equipment on display which can be hard to find. Unreservedly recommended.

Dennis_Amy Lievense

Very cool and they do not charge to get in. Make sure you drop a donation in the box at the entrance to keep this nonprofit museum alive.

The W Family

I went shortly before closing so had to shorten my visit but will definitely be back! The museum is free and on an active military base. Staff are very kind and knowledgeable.

Joni Buschow

Equipment & great visual stories in this museum. Helps a citizen appreciate our military and civil servants work. For all ages. For the public.

Karl K

Definitely worth the time to visit if you are interested in military or Texas history. They have exhibits and artifacts from very early times up to the present day, with informative descriptions of each item. Even an old history buff like me learned a few new things! The outdoor display of armored vehicles was good as well, but it was a little sad to see the state of decay of a few of them.

Michaela Getlein

I'm not a fan of history but it was quite interesting. The staff is fantastic!

Justin W

It's on an actual military base. Be prepared to show identification to the guard at the gate (adult passengers too). Looks very humble on the outside but the contents are impressive.

Holly Glickler

Fantastic displays and lots to see & learn ! Interesting for everyone!

Jeff Genung

Just an amazing Austin museum

Joshua MacDonald

This place is amazing. I cannot believe it’s free. So many exhibits that I spent 3 hours and still didn’t see everything. The comprehensive history of Texas is very impressive. I learned so much. The staff was also very friendly and knowledgeable. Seeing so many WW2 relics was really neat. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Teresa Dormier

There is a lot of detailed history here that is educational for all ages. We enjoyed it so much & with it being free, how could you not love it as a family outing? ❤

Lora Ramirez

Love love this place, my kids always enjoy coming here too

Brady Sullivan

Very interesting museum. Its on base so bring IDs or passports. Lots of old vehicles from the wars. The new addons have a lot about the civil war and the alamo. lots of interesting items include old school cannon shells that you are allowed to touch.

James Wallace

As a U.S. Marine I enjoy learning about the history of any branch of the Armed Service. This is well put together. It is well worth the trip to see what the Texas National has done for the U.S.

Erik Felde

Always a great place, the volunteers are the best. Great place for kids, not too long of a visit and plenty of outside displays.

Jeremy Dufner

There has been so much work done to this museum. It is a phenomenal community resource. The tour was excellent. I may be biased, but they hosted my promotion ceremony here, where everyone had a great time. Thanks TXMF Museum staff for everything you did to make this a flawless event.

circusskillz

Great place. Though if you walk in like me, sign in at security and walk the steep hill next to the pond

TJ Walker

Very cool history. Learned a lot!

John Lowe

On real military base.
