💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Plan to spend 1.5-2 hours exploring the museum to fully appreciate the exhibits and read the information boards. This is a manageable size for a complete visit without feeling rushed.
• 💡Active military members can visit free through their military star program, and there's also a VA 250 passport book discount available. At just $5 for adults and $4 for children (ages 4-11), it's an excellent value even without discounts.
