If you have half an interest in military history this is a must if you are in the area.
A small museum but packed with interesting exhibits displayed with care.
What was particularly well done was the personal stories of the artefacts donated to the museum. It really tells the story behind the uniform.

A very good, small military museum. Museum in 1 room, segmented by various themes. A lot of very unique items, most loaned to the museum from military families. A little disappointed by the Vietnam section (I am a Vietnam Vet). Looking out the submarine parascope was fun. A good place to spend some time.

This was a great museum with knowledgeable docents. It took about one hour to tour. They had a lot of exhibits spanning from revolution through world War 2. We were fascinated by the military hanguns and rifles guns they had over these time periods. There were memorials outside for all serviceman lost in the major wars. There was a piece of the Arizona hull on the third floor.

We found here a deep sense of patriotism and gratitude and respect on July 4th, when the world is turbulent, history is being questioned or re-written, being able to show appreciation and respect to our veterans on July 4th was very meaningful. The parade had to be "reverse" due to Covid 19 precautions - the parade floats and participant were parked along the highway, huge flag suspended from a fire truck boom and all, and spectators drove by waving flags, honking, giving thanks, cheering and showing gratitude for all those who have served and are serving, and will be serving. We discovered this pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and plan to come back and visit the museum, take more time in the memorial park, and explore the other parts of the park.

This is located behind the Merrit Island Mall. It is at the south end of South Sykes Creek Parkway. It is a very nice location that sports many different pieces. There is a memorial area with 2 helicopters, a tank, a truck, and a plane. There is a park located to the west of the building and south of the memorial area with parking and a walking path over a bridge and around an inlet. The building itself has a walkway along the water. Inside the building is an absolutely wonderful museum. We have been to this building many times but this was the first time that I had visited the museum. What a fantastic place. There are 2+ stories of graphics, artifacts, and memorabilia coving the United States service members’ wartime history. We spent about an hour looking at the various parts of all the floors and areas. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful and I could have spent a lot more time looking over all the information displayed there. This is a must-see site for our area. I highly recommend this to any veteran or student of American history. Enjoy.

My family and I attended the Veteran's Day Ceremonies this year. We were so pleased to see such a large crowd in attendance. People still care about this Country and our Veterans. Do visit here....no entrance fee...just make a donation of whatever you can afford. It's a lovely place with great history lessons.

Great collection of military items, memorabilia, uniforms, and equipment. Very cool experience. Enjoyed the interactive stuff a lot. There’s a helicopter cockpit out front that kids and adults alike seemed to enjoy. Also you can experience a working periscope! So cool to check that out.

This little hidden gem was great. I have a military obsessed 7 year old and he was in heaven to be up close and personal with all things military. Entry is free (donation box there). It’s a very simple a d informative place where you can spend an hour looking and reading. Very charming and away from the hustle and bustle of everything else in life. Worth a visit if ur in the area!

This museum is only a 10 minute drive from Cocoa Beach and is well worth the time. My 9-year-old daughter and I were out to kill time in the area, and I looked at the nearby museums on the GPS, and said, how about this place? I fully expected her to balk, but she was game, and we went.
We were both pleasantly surprised. It's right off the Merritt Sq. Shopping mall, and it has two military helicopters (one is a Huey...the other is unlabeled) and a 1950s tank in the entrance way. Inside, the (free!) museum has all sorts of military memorabilia going back to WWI.
Displays included weapons, uniforms, medals, and all sorts of military gear. We could have easily spent 60-90 minutes there.
The museum adjoins a walkway along the water, where we saw a small school of fish along with a 16-inch string ray, very similar to ones we'd seen in the zoo the day before, only this one was clearly worse for the wear. Living in the wild will do that to you, I guess.

The museum is small and full of memorabilia, the curator is fun to talk to. Would not recommend for children, but the memorial outside is quite another story. Helicopters, monuments, benches, a tank, right on the river... it's all full of wonder. Well maintained, and you may even buy a commemorative brick, as I did if you desire. Every war is represented... great way for young folks to grasp history. They are also in the process of building a great park next to it.

Is this a pet friendly establishment, if the animal is in a stroller ?
