Park vojaske zgodovine Pivka, Inner Carniola Region, Slovenia
4.5 (59 reviews) Friday: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #2 in Pivka Speciality Museums
A must-see when visiting Slovenia!
The Park of Military History Pivka is a museum and experience center providing its visitors with a unique insight into the rich military and historical heritage of this strategically very important part of Slovenia. The Park hosts one of the biggest tank-artillery collection in this part of Europe. Aside from the tanks, field guns and other armored vehicles from the second half of the 20th century, we also put on display a collection of the military aircrafts together with the helicopter Gazelle T0-001 Velenje, which supplement the museum contents. Nevertheless, the most attractive exhibit piece for our visitors is still the sabotage submarine P-913 Zeta, since they can also see its interior and experience the secret world of the submariners. With its exhibition The Road to Independence, the Park of Military History was also the first to chronologically and systematicly display the process of gaining independence in the Republic of Slovenia and the break-up of the former Yugoslavia. This topic is also illustrated with the display of armored and other vehicles that participated in the Slovenian war for independence in 1991.

Great on a rainy day
Not being a militant person I welcomed the initiative to visit this museum. Its content is as militaristic as well as historic, maybe even more so. I would recommend the visit of the submarine and the flight simulator. You have to schedule ahead. You will have the opportunity to get a glimpse of WWII and WWII as well as the immediate history artifacts. I strongly recommend the visit.

Walk through military history
Museum/park is really nice. A lot of things to see if you are interested in military history. I loved interactive part of slovenian independence history part of museum. Very nicely presented. Had an opportunity to see a submarine from inside. Highly recomend, best to book it in advance. Also had an opportunity to experience how to fly mig (3d simulator). If you have time book it and experience it. 2nd world war exhibition is also interesting. My only minus is that opening hours are a little bit late - from 10 in summer season. Otherwise really good park/museum.
