Disappointed sums it up…read more This place looks like time has gotten the better of it, and that happened some time ago. In the outside area, the "exhibits"(?) to the left were all closed off - the woodcutting house, and the wheelhouse. They all look like an accident waiting to happen if an unsupervised kid were to go wandering around there. The inside is a little more put together in terms of hands-on things for little ones to interact with. And I'll admit, our 3 year old did enjoy himself. I've just been to similar places like this one around the state, and they have been much more polished and far better maintained than this is. No staff walk around to pick up after kids, for example in the pretend shopping / grocery store area. One in St. Pete is well "policed" with workers picking up after kids, so each one gets to experience it fully, and not a ram-shackled mess. That seems like a minor issue, since we picked up for our child, and he enjoyed it still - but a simple thing like creating a job for somebody improves the experience for visitors. Overall, I wouldn't be in any great hurry to return. I'm not sure how much replay value there is for an infant - probably more than a single trip to be fair, but the neglected feel of the place puts me off. It just seems lazy and half-hearted. Which is a real shame, because there's no equivalent in the area, and it's a fantastic idea to stimulate little minds, and get hands-on experiences and exposure to science and math in a playful and fun way. Hopefully they will step up their game and live up to the potential the place really has, instead of just skating by on the bare minimum of effort.

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.

Inside you can also see what the atom bomb looks like, numerous photos, letters, and all kinds of other memorabilia. It's a very cool place. It's a little outdated, but you don't pay to go inside, so it's kind of expected. I think if you were driving by, and you see it I would have 100% recommend. I wouldn't tell anybody to drive over 30 minutes and go out of their way to see it though. The airplanes and aircraft outside was definitely the coolest part.

They do offer military and veteran discounts, since this is a military diving museum. I thought that was awesome. There are a lot of photo opportunities here. You can even go inside the sea lab. There is a 40 minute documentary you can watch and then walk around to see all the exhibits. Their gift shop is adorable too. I learned a lot from this.

At…read morefirst, I wasn't interested ... especially since this is one of those staple "tourist trap" that you see almost any tourist destination. With that said, we needed an indoor activity with the kids and I gave in ... And I surprisingly enjoyed it more than my kids hahaha. I love history and the strange stuff and they have plenty of it. I enjoyed seeing one of a kind items like an actual lock of Abraham Lincoln's hair framed with a bloodied letter - strange and disturbing but quite interesting as well. I suggest to give this place a good two hours ... there's so much to see and enjoy. If you have an infant, there are certain rooms that are quite loud and startling so keep an eye out on that. There are a couple of rooms that are kid friendly (play ground and places to run), so definitely give them time to enjoy that area. All in all, it was a hit. I suggest to check it out at least once :)

It is a small building but they have packed it with activities that seem to cover a wide age range. We went on a Monday so it was mostly small kids, but my fifth-grader spent three hours going through all the indoor and outdoor exhibits before we left for lunch. We sprang for the planetarium and it was a bit long for the small kids but mine was interested the whole time. We were impressed with the inflatable planetarium.

What a fun place to visit!…read more Brought both grandsons here on a recent visit and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Lots and lots and lots of hand-on activities (although a few of the robotic ones did not function correctly or had limited range.) Excellent place for a rainy day activity or for a family picnic on a sunny day (outdoor areas are nice.) Plan to recommend this to our future condo renters. Staff is very, very helpful and congenial.
