The museum may be closed, but the gates to the displayed equipment are open. Just go down the hill from the museum to the open gate.

Excellent quality for a free admission museum

A very interesting look into military history of Utah, the staff were very helpful and friendly. My son loved all the exhibits, thanks and helicopters. That stop made his trip to Utah even more exciting. A must go if you are in the area.

As it it is closed because of the virus my reason for going there was to donate a picture of my fathers company when he was in the military and stationed there and receive some other information. The director Beau was very helpful and I will very possibly go there again when it is opened again.

Small but plenty of displays and information on Fort Douglas and its past. Free to visit. Cool tank/artillery garden out back, too. The volunteers working also had plenty of information to offer and were really nice.

Being from Belgium and whilst on hols in SLC last week, I visited the whole Fort Douglas Military-area whilst walking to the NHMU.I was very impressed with all the beautiful, historical houses and buildings to then stop by at the Museum itself (only saw the military vehicles from the outside though).You can have a relaxing stroll around, take some nice pictures and sort of imagine how it mustve been like during those days.Really thouroughly enjoyed the whole area and would definately recommend visiting! Best is on a clear, sunny day. I used public transport (TRAX RED Line) from downtown SLC to get there.

Must see if you enjoy history of Civil War, WWI, WWII. Takes about 90 min to see everything, the volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. Entry is free, donations welcome. Good for all ages

Super neat piece of Utah war history. Very well put together and the workers are great!

This is a great little museum with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of neat artillery pieces and vehicles outside on display.

If you love history this is the place for you. It has really cool stuff! Especially outside in the back. Big helicopters and tanks! Free admission. Donations are always welcome. Definitely worth your time. I would highly recommend.

This place is also on a few ghost tours in slc, we’ve actually filmed orbs at night on that visit. A cool place to visit when in Utah...

Nice little museum with many uniform displays and a nice cannon and small aircraft & ground transportation display outside. The gentlemen who greeted us at the door were very nice and had a great sense of humor.

I loved this museum. Definitely fun. I go here during my lunches sometimes and I always learn something new about the history of FT Douglas. The University is slowly buying more of base and this is a great way to see how huge the base use to be.

It was a very good experience and well displayed very interesting videos about how Utah was help during the war and making a bullets and parachutes other food other experiences it was very well-mannered and polite very interesting the history is outrageous lie interesting

I would definitely visit again, great history and great customer service at the end of the day!!!

Its a very small museum and does not have much to offer. The military vehicles located outside are okay. It is nice to learn about how Utah played a part and how we helped during the war.

Great place and the people are so friendly

Was on a ghost hunt here. We were able to have a history your before hand and I love historical places. The museum curator, Beau, was very informative and helpful and knew a lot about the different time periods.

Great museum with lots of displays with a very knowledgeable staff. Patrick was our guide and did a great job explaining the exhibits to our group.There was NO admission fee.

Small museum, but has great atmosphere. People there can tell the history of the fort and the equipment at the museum.

Being from one of the longest military families in the United States it was so refreshing. The Vietnam veteran there was so amazing and hilarious! This is for all ages!

My kids range in age from 12-1.5 years, and everyone loved coming here! There were so many exhibits and they continue to add fun things to do for kids. Its really cool seeing all the war history tied into Utah state history and well beyond. The grounds are beautiful and well kept.

Great historical site and a lot of tacticle vehicles to see outside.

Great place to go. Everything was so great. Love the arty display.

I visited fort douglas on septembre. It Was like dream .I Never Forget the smile of the tow young old men who really make me and my two sons Feel welcome. Thanks

I loved seeing all the cool artifacts and guns there

Staff hospitality was great! Educational...my 8 year old son loved it! I loved the tribute to nursing!

Its a nice experience. Great to learn and see some of the machinery/vehicles they have on campus

Love WW2 history. Very knowledgeable staff.

This is a free museum with a gift shop. You can visit and read everything in under 2 hours. Much more information than I thought! Very nice displays. The outer yard could use a refresh. Seems there is some winter storage out in front of the helicopter displays.

While seemingly small and unimposing, this museum has a lot to offer. The gentleman volunteering was very knowledgeable and gave us a small tour. There are a lot of cool military artifacts both inside and out. If you love military history, I recommend checking this place out

Large collection of decommissioned vehicles and guns. Lots of old style uniforms.

I think this is a wonderful museum. The conditions of the uniforms and realistic mannequins were amazing. Strongly advise going. However, your outdoor flag is faded and torn. If you let me know what size flag you have i will replace it. Such an amazing museum needs a proper flag.

Very nice, helpful, and great place to visit

Nice place to visit to learn about the history of the area. Small enough that it does not take a while to go through.

Amazing. Everyone should try to visit with family and friends

Very informative

This museum is a hidden gem in Salt Lake. Ive made a lot of trips to the area and even lived there for several years, but unfortunately never knew about the museum abd just discovered it. Its very well done with plenty of artifacts and displays to interest anyone. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I spent 5 hours there recently researching a WWII veteran for a biography Im working on and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. If you are a history buff, or war buff, l highly recommend a visit. Its a great place for a school field trip or family visit. Check it out!

Very clean and well put together

Awesome to see . a must see for me

Loved getting to visit Fort Douglas! I was so interested in learning about this and had seen that it was a local museum that was free so that was SUPER appealing.The people were so friendly and it was really cool getting to know them and learn about what it was like in the military. I have a tremendous amount of respect and just reverence for anyone who either does serve in our military now or has in the past.Theres so many different positions and things to be done but everyone selflessly making that brace decision To go is what helps everyone else along the way.So cool to learn how long this place has been around!!!! Its amazing and ton of historical stuff from way back when that they have preserved and taken good care of.Totally worth checking out and donate to keep them afloat! They are completely self sufficient so any and everything helps. They also sell cool gifts in their which is great cuz they have something for everyone.

Pretty cool place and updates since I was last there 15 years ago. The gentleman working the counter are very interesting to talk to

Great little museum they have quite a collection from many different military eras

No so busy, the curator was really knowledgeable and just a well put together museum

Great waiters and food!

Walking through living history, reminding ourselves why wer are America!

We did the after hours Paranormal tour and it was awesome. It was a great time with friends and I hope the ghosts had fun with us LoL

Great place to visit with friendly knowledgeable staff

I loved it.

Very cool staff please donate money they need it

Im not generally a fan of military museums, but I was here on vacation and my father wanted to go, so I came along. The museum was a surprisingly good. We received a tour from the front desk man cum docent. I also enjoyed walking around the back of the museum and checking out all the vintage military equipment.

Really interesting

I only wish I could do more to help.

Plenty of history & photo ops here

Amazing experience!! 7yr old loved seeing all the tanks, cannons, and uniforms! The helicopters were his absolute favorite. The guide was helpful and shared lots of stories with us.

Great place. And volunteers were so helpful

Tour guides are amazing. Spent 2+ hours here with my sons. Throughly enjoyed our time here.

Couldnt think of a better way to honor our veterans that to learn some history about those who served here at Ft Douglas. Staffed by a great bunch of friendly, knowledgeable vets. Interesting exhibits with some great artifacts.

Great!

Love this place lots of stuff to look at very interesting

The place to learn and cherish our militarys history.

Great place to learn military history of large conflusts along with specifics of Utah. Weapons and uniforms from each time periodare also represented.

There was some interesting stuff, certainly the information Buffalo Soldier, but I simply didnt like it, especially the fact that they show Saddams boats seem to be a very bad thing.

Retired MSgt Steve was of the utmost respectful and professional individual with whom I have dealt in a long time! Go Army!

History. Great staff

Original war vehicles. Great condition.

Great historical Utah landmark.

Lots of history and very interesting.

Really cool museum. Check it out if you have time.

Ia must to stop by. Not only for the history but for the great beach’s and views in the area

Super great place ! I highly recommend it to all war buffs !

Museum is interesting and its free. However its very small. I walked the entire place in about 10 minutes. It could be better...

Great little museum.

Lots to see and learn, not crowded.

Well put together. Had a great docent. His information was very heartfelt.

Awesome museum.

Very interesting museum and a hidden treasure among campus. Includes a lot of history of the area while focusing on the impact of the military in the West. Would highly recommend to those interested in military history.

Great place to see the history of the Army here in Utah.

Very informative. Lots of authentic military displays. Friendy outgoing staff.

Great museum and artifacts

Best ever

Great little museum. Free to enjoy. Located within the Fort Douglas National Historic Landmark and the focus of the Fort Douglas area history. They have some actives scheduled every month or so and they have active websites and facebook accounts that I have found useful. The best day to visit is during the Annual Fort Douglas Day in June. Also, dont forget to visit the nearby Fort Douglas Cemetery- great history there including German POWs killed after WWII during the Salina Massacre.

The museum has so much to offer, schedule a tour with the curator and you wont be disappointed.

I wish they had more the museum is rather small. But well worth the trip.

Wanna learn some history? Take a walk through history here!

Such an awesome experience, my kids loved it as much as I did.

Great museum. Keeping it running is an act of love by dedicated individuals.

A must come place for military fans.

Very much like other Military Museums.

Great museum and beautiful area to take your family for historical adventures.
