Great Free Museum (Donations recommended )
The doors opened on 16 August 2000, the 60th anniversary of the original Test Platoon’s first parachute jump. The museum offers free admission, a main exhibit gallery, temporary gallery, four-story tall theater, a gift shop, and a motion simulator ride that features two experiences. Admission is free, and we do accept donations in the gift shop and in donation boxes in the lobby. The main gallery is designed as a self-guided tour, in chronological order, through the history of airborne and special operations soldiers from 1940 to the present. The temporary gallery changes periodically and displays a myriad of exhibits pertaining to the United States Army airborne and special operations units through their history and conflicts from World War II to the present.

WOW - great military museum you must visit
WOW, what a fantastic place! I spent 3 hours in the museum. Great displays to honor the Airborne & Special Ops. This is the way a military museum should look! Like the layout and the ability to skip around if you want to avoid other groups without feeling crowded. Awesome detail regarding the different campaigns and operations, especially of WWII. Gift shop was good, Entire place was spotless and looked new. Staff was friendly and helpful. Great greeting as you arrive inside the building. Lots of parking right beside the museum. Would have liked to seen an area that allowed you to purchase water/soda and snacks for those who planned a multiple hour visit. I understand and agree with the reason for not allowing any food/drink inside the display area of the museum. Maybe establish a room farthest from the display area where food/drink can be purchased and only consumed in the same room. One of my favorite museums I have visited. Will return with friends!

Nicely done donation-based museum
Stopped by with the kids and a friend for a couple of hours of activity. The museum is free and donation-based. Exhibits are well done and maintained. There are a few statues outside to view as well and is walking distance from the "North Carolina Veterans memorial" which is not open Sunday or Monday but also has nice monuments. Recommend visiting with older kids, not much for the younger ones who get restless
