Such a place of honor! It was a humbling experience that touched my heart. What a wonderful tribute to all our servicemembers. The education provided by the exhibits & volunteers exceeds anything offered by our educational system. The chronological sequence of American Military History displayed is done with reverence & respect for the sacrifaces made. If you love America, then this is where you can learn & respect our Military. The volunteers are so helpful & provide information as well as listening to our personal military history. The ongoing schedule of events provided by the Museum is outstanding and enhances the experience. This is my second visit to the museum but it will not be my last. I tell all my friends in NH about the Museum & encourage them to visit when they come to Florida. Thank you. ...

State of the Art! Lots of interactive displays,and exhibits like the flight simulators, and VR goggles/headsets that give strange new perspectives to the experience. This place has a huge stage and theater room, that other posters have described as very good. There were large and small screens all over with videos of various conflicts and the first person experience of the veteran. In a building that is styled like an old house (huge houses) way off the ground so protecting valuable exhibits.. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with great stories, a gift shop with patches, pins, hats and other things at great prices! I think I could spend another visit or two and if interested, I could spend days in the upstairs library...

This is a must see! If you or someone you know has served in the military or even if not, you'll want to visit here!

They have many realistic displays to view & videos to watch on every war fought, uniforms worn over time & an impressive library holds a wealth of information. Have you ever wanted to fly a plane or maybe fire military weapons? They have a virtual reality station & simulators so you can! Don't miss it!

Having served 8 years active duty in the Navy myself, I was very impressed, you really can't appreciate all they offer in one day. They even have special events to interest & teach kids. I'm sure everyone prior military or not, young & old, will enjoy visiting the Military...

What a gem in Punta Gorda! With military veterans as volunteers, this museum was an awesome experience. From my discussion about the experience a soldier had med evacuating our injured Vietnam warriors, to the jet fighter flight simulator to the many virtual reality experiences, like flying to the moon and back, this experience was something I would not have expected in a small town like Punta Gorda. Impressive is an understatement. Artifacts of all U.S. wars from the American Revolution through today, video presentations and such professional displays make this a must stop when in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area. This museum deserves the support of the local community and beyond!

Comprehensive military museum especially WW1 through Viet Nam and the Gulf conflicts. There are actual flight simulators that you can schedule on arrival. There is an excellent movie on D-day called Normandy 360. It runs an hour and has mostly original footage from D-day and the landing of the first LST which included the Bedford Boys from Virginia. There are military vehicles including a helicopter. There is also a section of the Berlin Wall. The communications exhibit is small but interesting and includes radio receivers, and Morse code equipment. I did not see an R390 which I used in the 1960s. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

This place is fantastic!! I'd give it more than 5 stars if possible. Really nice museum with items from Civil-Gulf Wars. Lots of friendly volunteers!!! The VR experience is really fun and unique. And the flight simulators were awesome, sign up for a time and a volunteer walks you through flying different planes. Planes vary from prop planes to military jets. Super fun for the kids too as well as the really big kids (dads). There is also a laser shooting range that was fun for the whole family to enjoy. Definitely recommended. Cost was $46 for 3 adults and 1 child entrance fees. We spent several hours here.
