Visited here with my husband and kids (ages 8 & 10) and there was something for everyone here. The museum is in the process of expanding and we can't wait to go back!

THe NMMC has a little something for everyone. Some of their exhibits are absolutely fantastic - the burst of heat you feel when 'getting off' of a helicopter, the cold you feel when you're in the mountains. It's a great way to educate kids. Their volunteers are amazing, too.

I don't have the attention span to read thousands of placards at museums, but even ignoring most of those, I found the... More

We really enjoyed visiting the Museum. There is no fee for entering the museum. There was so much to see. The museum starts with becoming a Marine, which allows the visitor to get an idea what it is like to take the bus ride to boot camp and the type of training future Marines experience.
