One of the best museums we have ever visited - and it's free..?

Very informative and broken down by the eras.

Free public WiFi, too.

Plan for 3-4 hours to at least experience anything. There is a free 15 minute film in the main exhibits area that is also highly recommended..!

There were some outdoor exhibits, too.

HIGHLY recommended to visit!

My family and I had the blessing of being able to experience the National Infantry Museum recently while in town for army purposes. There was lots to see and learn about. I appreciated how great it was organized and displayed. It was close enough to the base for easy travel and with all the outdoor space, it offers a great opportunity for kiddos to run and explore a bit.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This was incredible. Broken down into different areas (wars), the artifacts available to view are amazing, the imagery and live wax displays were incredible. Literally things to view from floor to ceiling. Just an absolute must visit if in this area.

This is the first class museum that is under appreciated. It should be on everybody's go to list when it comes to learning about not just the United States. Infantry, but the army as well. It's easy to spend an entire day in there.

It's free to get in, and has a lot to look at. Many fantastic dioramas and artifacts, all with great lighting and ambient music, sound, video, to create a very moving and memorable experience. There are alcoves or rooms dedicated to separate historic times or events, each has excellent layout and flow of the eye and foot traffic. Such a well designed museum.

In the 1960s my father graduated Infantry Officer Candidate School, which at the time was 6 months long. In the 80s I graduated from basic training and Advanced Infantry Training, as did my brother in the 90s. It was only natural that we would come to visit this museum. We were not dissapointed. The museum and its theater as well as the replica Vietnam memorial wall and the very impresssive memorial to honor the memorial of those lost on 911 as well as the on going war on terrorism. Truly a museum that must be visited more than once.

This marks my second time visiting this museum. It’s always nice inside and the staff is always nice. You can’t beat a huge museum like this for free of charge. They encourage a $5 donation that helps with the upkeep of the museum. If you haven’t been, definitely stop by and check it out

Was probably the best museum I have ever been to, and our family has been to dozens of museums. I will say this, "I was so absorbed into the displays, recreation of the scenes and actual information provided that 4 hours seemed like mere minutes." It was an absolute treasure trove of information, history where even the random staff would stop and talk to you, ask questions and give you real world information of "how" the display came to the museum. Amazing job!!

The museum is awesome, easily rivaling anything the Smithsonian has to offer. There is so much more here than I thought so I didn't plan my visit very well and only got through half of the museum. If you are in the area and like military history in particular Army Infantry history, you have to visit, it won't disappoint. I think is free, but donations are accepted.

In my entire life (after walking thru many, many museums around the world), I’ve never been more impressed with the finest collection of memorabilia, history and a direct correlation of our military’s involvement in world events.
I left completely moved by the sacrifice and heroism of our Army’s Soldiers over the decades.
Do not miss this incredible facility. Your life will be enriched and you’ll be a different and much more proud American once you experience this museum.

This place is amazing. Plan an entire day for this. Great movies. Outside there are WW2 Barracks, a church, etc. That's open on weekends.
There are tanks, a Vietnam Memorial that's smaller but just like D.C.
Soldiers from every war and conflict are honored. I need to go back because I didn't get to walk through it all. If you show up on certain data days, you can watch a live graduation of US Army Infantry Soldiers ( why I was there). The graduation is amazing and quite moving. I'd recommend going on one of those days.

Very well designed museum. Lot of good exhibits and information. Plenty of parking and good access. It's just outside the post so all can access it.
It covers the history of Infantry from day one to modern day.
Plan on a good 2 - 3 hours to walk through at a reasonable pace.
Free, but donations are appreciated.

We visit often to look for our lost friends names and enjoy the museum. It is a great comfort to my husband and I and helps us show our "Army Brats" why our lives are the way they are. #ArmyFamilyStrong

This museum is AWESOME. It is free of charge but they appreciate tips. It was so much fun and my kids enjoyed it. We spent about 2 hours there. It is 3 levels and wheelchair accessible.

It's an excellent museum. We were in the area for our son's Turning Green Ceremony at Fort Moore and wanted to take in as much as we could on his 4 day leave. This was a must on our list and totally worth not making some of our other "plans" for we spent almost 5 hours there, and we didn't get it all in. Thank you to all the volunteers and everyone involved in keeping the museum so nice. When you stop, don't forget to stop at the Soldier Store, it's a veteran owned business.

Went here when it was closed to see my son graduate boot camp and had to return during normal business hours. This place is an amazing place to visit and you can’t beat the price of admission FREE…… if you’re ever in the area you should definitely check this place out
