Military Museum — Attraction in Fort Worth

I took my two sons to the museum on February 23, 2023, as we are a homeschool family and the history lessons being studied right now revolve around WWII. All of us were excited as we drove to the museum talking about that time period and wondering what they would have inside the museum. Imagine our surprise as we were turned away at the door almost a full three hours before the posted closing time. I was told by one of the two men sitting at the desk playing on their phones that it was a "soft" close as they weren't selling anymore tickets for the day. When I asked why since the sign on the wall said that they did not close until five, the young man started stuttering and looking at the older man for help. None came from the older man, as he never spoke nor acknowledged our presence in any way. I know we live in a calloused world, and I have come to expect poor service and rude employees as the norm, but I expected more from a place honoring the men and women who have fought for our freedoms.

My kids loved the machine guns, bazookas, and grenades that they could pick up and hold.

I don't know how this museum doesn't get more exposure. But if you are military, like history, or have kids, this...

Visiting from out of state and decided to drop by this place. Wonderful guys working there, i bought some model aircrafts and asked if they had a box it could go in so i could ship them home. They spent probably 35~ minutes going out of their way to cut up an old box just for my little models. They are really above and beyond! The museum itself is very cool, it’s designed that you walk through it in chronological order (WW1-Gulf War/Iraq.) The gulf war displays are small but the WW1 and WW2 displays are really where the meat and potatoes are. Would definitely recommend visiting and throwing some money in the...
