An unexpected, very nice and interesting experience!

Good and free donate something on your way out you peasant dogs...

The military museum of Columbia is it pretty impressive site to see and covers decades of evolution of military weaponry, uniforms, technology and strategy.

The museum is free and the staff that's on hand are extremely friendly and offer basic introduction and tours in both Spanish and English.

It's well worth the hour or two it takes to walk through both levels of the museum and observe all the exhibits. There's a courtyard out back with several types of military machinery as well. Definitely check it out!

Excellent military history museum with tons of interesting guns and other weapons. Was free! Highly recommended!

It was a great afternoon visiting the military Museum. The military staff are very accommodating and make you feel very welcome. Some different things I hadn’t seen before in other military museums. The only downside is there was not much posted in English but we are in Colombia. I was amazed that it’s free to enter and after touring the museum it’s easy to walk around and see many other interesting and cool sites in Bogotá.

Free museum with many pieces of Colombian military history to view. So many guns and rifles couldn't count them. The room dedicated to Escabar's bombing was very informative.

There was some event going on and crashed in for free.

Great place to be as a tourist or a local. My kids and I enjoyed it alot, and best of all is the free admission when showing your passport or ID.

Very nice collection of so many different weapons. And the military guys there are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Free museum that gave a good history of the military in Colombia. I was able to pick up a lot of the language but had some difficulty coming from my native English. Pretty cool to see Colombia's involvement domestically and world wide.

Great historical weapons and displays. However the first floor was closed for maintenance.

It was closed when we walked by, so I was unable to go in. However, we spoke to a very friend GP who described some of the military equipment that could be seen through the fence.

I visited this museum on Thursday 10.03. I had the luck to be accompanied by a person who explained me everything. "Simple relics" became something extremely relevant and instructive and made my visit unique and truly informative. Beside his knowledge, it was clear the deep passion he has for his role and service, which was easily transmitted to me. Thank you Carlos for the unforgettable experience, thanks for the time you allowed me. All the best for the future.

Very interesting place, and it's free, one hour will be enough

Very interesting to learn about the military history of Colombia and weapons from all around the world.

Visited on a whim whilst in Bogotá - and it was so interesting. One of the lovely soldiers that worked there gave us loads of information about all the exhibitions/artefacts which we wouldn't have got just from walking around (although this was in Spanish so just something to bare in mind!).

We spent a wonderful morning in the Military Museum, thanks to the super attentive military staff. Our son discovered the museum as already the courtyard was full of interesting weapons and vehicles. A very nice officer gave us a tour (very good English!), with an insight to Colombia's history. Not only our son but our daughter and we as parents enjoyed it a lot. And the museum is free!

Great museum to visit. Filled with rich history of the Colombian military.
