Is my dream to join the basic combat training one day

Very informative as to what tour soldier endures and learns. Great that its free too. Lots to look at. Really loved it!

Great place for family soldiers to see and view some history of the Army

I was here. I live it.

Really excellent

Very nice and numerous interactive displays even had a drill sergeant yelling via hologram which scared my son and hubby...the veteran and current soldier. Highly recommended.

Very interesting . Loved it. . Must see

A great place to learn about Army basic combat training. Shows a historical overview of initial entry training. My 6 and 4 year olds loved the museum. The tanks on display outside are awesome. On the inside, there are many hands on and interactive exhibits. My son loved getting mad at the drill sergeant hologram.

This was a nice stop to visit and view some military history. I love to take my kids to these types of museums to let them see what our armed forces have used and currently use while protecting our country.

This museum uncovers the history of basic combat training from WWI to the present. This museum provides a great overview of what Soldiers learn in basic training and is a great place to visit with current Soldiers or veterans. I find that a lot of the exhibits trigger memories for people who have experienced BCT which leads to some really neat conversations. Beware, the museum is located in Ft Jackson, so you will need a military ID to get past the base gates.

Unless your retired or current military with a DOD identification youll be turned away like I was. Im a service connected disabled US Army Veteran and was turned away by base gate security who informed me the museum is not open to the public. This was after driving an hour there with my family to make it part of a fun day in the Columbia area. Called the museum directly and they shared the same information as the gate security, but unfortunately it was to late we had already made the trip.

Really enjoyed family day. And the museum . thank you all for your services and allowing us to explore the base and our soldiers

Small, but very informative about Basic - every soldiers family should check it out after their graduation. Keep in mind that it WILL be crowded every Friday because of this! And for any tank nut in the area, you MUST see the T30... Pictures just dont do it justice!

Great place to explore

Had a great time at this museum. Not very big but they were able to put alot into it. Great place to learn about what drill sgts do and how they prepare soldiers for the u.s. army. An upgrade from previous military visted museums.

Did my basic there

Not open to civilians! Maybe that could be mentioned somewhere besides the one star reviews!?

Is a really small museum. To small if you ask me, but is free!!

GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!

Awesome

Awesome place

Very nice people
