Ralphie Saeed: Small child was able to enjoy several activities but the amount of things inoperable or underwhelming was a major turn off. Objects that needed a staff assistant had no way to summon without walking across property to get them was a major let down. Items that should have had multiple props had one or none and there was no step stool available for the water activity. Special event area was falling apart and no wind coverage for patrons to enjoy activity present. Will not be back anytime soon.

Marco Mattonelli: Gestori del museo eccezionali...bellissima esperienza con i bambini

James Bloir: Just a wonderful little private museum. My adult son and I were the only visitors and Bob gave us a private tour. He really enhanced the experience, and being a retired Air Force pilot I enjoyed the aviation items. There are many hands-on exhibits and I think you'll walk away with a positive experience. If I may suggest, then find the time to stop by and support them.

Daniel J: At first glance when you pull up, it looks like a sketchy strip mall with some gates on the windows. But press on past the scary outside and you'll find an amazing collection of WWII pieces, tons of models, medals, photos and the most amazing docents you've ever met.These guys spent an hour walking my kids through the jet and helicopter simulator, letting them push all the buttons amd asking a million questions. Bravo and salute to these heroes!Prices were about $16 for a family of four, best money I've spent in a long time! Amazing! Gem in the rough.

Brenda Burton: We made a special trip to Springfield to take our 14 year old grandson to this military museum. It was GREAT!! He loved every minute of it and we had a hard time getting him to leave.

Catherine Wright: So cool would recommend to go see it!!

Chris Bloomfield: Cool gun museum in a store, but the gentleman "guarding" the displays was worst person to have in a museum. Very unengaging and seemed irritated to answer any sort of questions. You would think he would want to chat, since he just stands there all day.

Chris Karcher: Pictures would not do justice to the craftsmanship and beauty of the weapons on display. Any person who even “likes” to shoot owes themselves a trip to this free museum inside a MASSIVE Bass Pro Shop. The history and evolution of firearms from the revolutionary war to modern sporting arms are represented. Needless to say, I was a fan!

R Taylor: The museum contains a stunning array of firearms. Do NOT be in a hurry when you enter. We read about Marshal Bass Reeves and then when traveling over the next several weeks we continued to come across references to him. Quite an exhibit on Theodore Roosevelt,too. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and highly recommend visiting.

Kevin Talley: Impressive display of guns firearms throughout history.

Jerry Theisen: Very impressive.
