Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation

This Museum is packed full of History starting with Wild Bill Hickok Donovan and the formation of the OSS which later became the Marine raiders up through UDT and the other Special operations teams that have impacted the world in special theaters of action and otherwise unknown missions throughout the world. It covers just about every Team and Tasking these unconventional warriors have encountered. Thanks to the the many campaign sponsors that contributed to the museum. The Veterans Park also covers many of the families that helped form this country with monolithic tributes and several unique items of art and sculpture. It's a must see for those that would like to know more about Unconventional warfare.

Interesting mix of life-sized, immersive exhibits, informative graphics, and well-produced videos, put together imaginatively as an experience through the timeline of various operations of the Airborne and Special Operations. It was amazing and humbling to see their contributions just in WWII, to think of that enormous effort, civilian and military. My daughter was particularly struck by a soldier hidden in a bush with his gun focused upon other soldiers across the room. We then "traveled forward in time" through each conflict: viewing a helicopter from Vietnam, living conditions from Desert Storm, etc. There was a simulation theater to experience travel in various military vehicles (air, land, sea) through a few dangerous encounters. I am very glad we visited.

A must visit place if you are near Fort Bragg. It is free to enter, they only ask for donations. It is one of those rare places that you can visit and experience what the brave men and women of this country have endured for us all to be free. I took my children, including my soldier son, so that they could see and know what it was like. They have real airplanes, tanks, jeeps and other very interesting military vehicles inside. The "soldiers" look so real you want to touch them to see if they will move. You can read and learn about the events and the people that made a difference that they don't teach you about in history books, such as the Triple Nickles and the story of "This is nuts." It is simply a must visit!

the Airborne museum is nice but this is the second time I have gone they need to change some of the exhibits. So that you can see different things when you go back years apart. That is a beautiful building and our troops deserve this recognition. But I believe that they should put more effort into changing the exhibit once in awhile. I also think the volunteers working there should put a little more effort into talking to you when you ask them questions. They are not very forthcoming

Nice place to take your family. Have a great exhibit. they now two simulator rides now. Now is the perfect time to go with all the flags out that families buy to put out to represent their loved one in the service.
