    Caboose
    Dan E.

    For a free museum (but do please donate!) you can't beat it in the county. Staffed by a group of volunteers who all have a true passion for trains and model trains, the dedication they have is obvious. The collection includes two cabooses that you can fully walk around in, a dining car, a freight car, and plenty of old train support equipment housed in a century old train depot that kids of all ages are sure to enjoy. Adults may find the local history of the rail interesting - there was sure a lot more than I previously thought!

    The volunteers are not very friendly. The old man I spoke to was unpleasant.

    Absolutely outstanding experience. I cannot recommend the United States Air Force Armament Museum…read moreat Eglin Air Force Base highly enough. I visited with my two sons, ages 13 and 14, and we all had an incredible time. The museum itself is impressive, well laid out, and packed with history, but what truly made the visit unforgettable was a volunteer named Pappy. He generously spent a long time giving us a guided tour, sharing stories, answering questions, and connecting the exhibits to real-world history in a way that completely captivated my boys. They especially loved seeing the aircraft up close, including the mini planes and, in particular, the F-4 Phantom. That one hit home for our family, as their grandfather flew an F-4 in Vietnam. Seeing that aircraft in person, while hearing knowledgeable and respectful commentary, was genuinely meaningful. This museum does an exceptional job of honoring history while keeping it engaging for younger visitors. If you have children, especially teens, or any interest in aviation or military history, this is a must-see. We left impressed, grateful, and already talking about coming back. Five stars without hesitation.

    Unfortunately the day I visited it was rainy and dreary. The lady at the front patiently went over…read morewhat the museum had to offer. I spent about 1.5 hours and really enjoyed myself. They were times I became emotional. The history of the AF runs deep and this space was a sliver. I didn't get to see the outside planes due to the weather. Check them out Yelpers.

    If you ever find yourself on deck down in Florida, chart a course straight for the National Naval…read moreAviation Museum at Naval Air Station Pensacola. First order of business: secure a seat in their giant-screen IMAX theater. That screen is massive one of those experiences where the engines roar, the jets scream across the sky, and you feel like you're strapped into the cockpit yourself. It's the kind of show that makes you sit up a little straighter in your seat and remember why naval aviation has always been the sharp end of the spear. Now the museum itself shipmate, this place is the real deal. Founded back in 1962 by Rear Admiral Magruder H. Tuttle, it started small with just a handful of aircraft. Today it's a full-on aviation hangar of history with more than 150 restored aircraft from the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard spread across huge exhibit bays. My son and I spent hours there, and the best part for him was getting up close with the aircraft climbing into cockpits, checking out helicopters, and seeing the machines that once launched off carrier decks into the wild blue. Top highlights include the historic Curtiss NC-4 (the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic), Blue Angels jets hanging in formation overhead, and flight simulators that let you feel like you're launching off a carrier deck. Bottom line: if you've got even a drop of saltwater in your veins or a love for aviation, this place is squared away. Bring the kids, bring your curiosity, and be prepared to spend a full day walking through the proud history of naval aviation. From one proud American to another this museum is absolutely mission ready.

    Amazing place, must see. Great aviation history from pre WWI Kitty Hawk, to WWI battleships…read moreconverted to carriers, WW2 planes, Korea, Vietnam to current aviation.
