If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would. It is a very cool collection of retired military vehicles and other paraphernalia. Much of it is hands-on. There are not many places where you climb on, touch, view, and smell authentic military equipment. It's easy to see from the tollway (look for the helicopters and tanks just south of the Wisconsin border). It takes more effort to actually get to it via the frontage road but it's worth the extra effort.

I went with 6 friends. The museum was awesome. The people at the museum were very nice. There is no guided tour like their website says. And it would be nice if there were plaques with information for every piece of equipment with way more info on them. Many of the Plaques that were in place were so faded and water damaged so they couldn’t be read. Still well worth the money. The armored personal carrier ride was a lot of fun.

State of their equipment is not that great, but it is an interesting place to stop by if you have some time to kill. If you are into modern military history you will enjoy it, but probably not go back. They have also store with surplus equipment.

Cool place a little over priced for what it is . You can't climb on 90 percent of the stuff such kinda sucks but still a cool place to take the kids

This place was awesome! The owners are super friendly and fun, the gift shop is reasonably priced- we should know as we have 2 spoiled boys-, and the museum is full of old equipment and vehicles that show the age and history. I would recommend this to friends and family! We will definitely be returning for the tank ride.
