Is a good stop off. My 11 year old really liked it. Spend 30 minutes looking at heavy equipment and explaining the wall.

A work in progress, this place is beautifully laid out and is really nice. It has memorial plaques, bricks, stones, and a small version of the wall found in DC. There are gardens with lovely, thought out walkways and flowers; helicopters, and vehicles. We went after hours so that is just whats on the outside.

Husband trained at Fort Wolters in late 60s. He loved flying helicopters even though he was stationed in Vietnam. We toured the outdoor areas as it was closed. They are building a wall of names that was lost and we plan to go back when the Museum is open and not so hot.

There was a lot of information here, and its only going to get better when the new museum is complete, hopefully in November. The grounds are also landscaped beautifully. We will visit again later this year.

My family and I enjoyed the outdoor exhibit. We hate it was closed when we arrived but I like the fact you can still see everything that is outside. My dad was a Vietnam veteran and it is a great way to gonor them.

Cool little memorial. We donated money in the box but one was broken. They need to fix that or it will get stolen.Ample parking and very well done sculptures.

What a beautiful way to honor our Vets. I am humbled and so blessed for the sacrifices they made for us. Take 10 minutes out of your day and go check this place out. You will not regret it, and if you do, go back and stare at all those names on the wall again......

Interesting place worth a stop. Wide range of vehicles, boats and a few aircraft. Limited hours, open in the morning. Looks like they are in the process of expanding.

Small venue but a lot of history and the staff was awesome. They are constructing a knee building which will allow for more space so the first thing I mentioned will soon be gone. Great history, the memorials are always sad to see but in the same breath it’s important to remember and respect. Tactical vehicles and helicopters throughout the property, I think if you enjoy anything device related you will enjoy this stop and make sure you speak with the staff those guys are awesome!

I was absolutely appalled with the service I got at the National Vietnam war museum when I visited America. Not only was there a bad smell (I’m guessing a blocked drain), but also, I asked one of the members of staff for some information and they rudely replied “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask somebody else” before walking off. I don’t understand why somebody with so little information and training was left to assist visitors. I am not happy, will not be recommending!

Well worth a visit just to see the replica of the wall. Computerized kiosk allows you to locate any name easily. Nice memorial to those who served in Vietnam.

Thank you for sharing and educating the public to what life was really like in country from those of us with first hands experience vs. Media and bureaucrats version. Welcome Home and thank you for your service. Interesting artifacts and stories. Looking forward to when the project is completed. I suggest you visit on line and help support this project with your generous donations. As I just learned, the site is open 24/7 and the Vistors Center has limited hours based on volunteers to occupy the office. Highly recommend visiting.

The museum is quite small, but has interesting items in it. It has a wheelchair ramp, but I dont think there is enough room inside to manuever one. JMO though. They have a few military vehicles outside. Be aware there are port-a- potties outside, but no public restrooms inside.

Review №36

Great interactive hands on memorial that had the children intrigued and asking tons of questions. Sit in Vietnam war era trucks, climb into tanks, and get up close and personal to the helicopters. This up close, personal and hands on approach was absolutely a wonderful family learning experience. The visitors center had tons of displays, information and souvenirs. Our kids loved this so much they have asked to see more memorials.

A one hour drive west of Fort Worth you’ll find a replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall. I visit multiple times each year and highly recommend it. A good day trip from the DFW area.

We went as a group with the First Cavalry, A Co. 229th AHB, Vietnam Helicopter 50 year reunion in 2016. We spent about two hours walking the entire grounds and looking around inside the souvenir store. I bought a few things but I love my helicopter flag shirt. We really enjoyed the historic sites and all the love and sincerity the owners have for Vietnam vets. The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating to 56 old vets. As this museum continues to grow, I think it will become a historical site. I highly recommend this museum for visitors who want to learn more about the Vietnam war and see the equipment on display like the Vietnam Veteran Memorial wall and the Huey helicopter.

A museum with great potential, there are a number of Vietnam era military artifacts as well as several memorial gardens on display, a new building is under construction which will allow a lot more of the museums artifacts to be displayed. The site also contains a replica of the Vietnam memorial.

A wide variety of artifacts from Vietnam. Is easy to see how much work went into the exhibits there. Well worth the visit. My father served two tours there, I think it makes the war hit home.

Review №73

Note first. Google maps has the memorial located in the wrong place. It should be west, near the point where Maddux Road intersects Highway 180. Just west of the Hike Trail Overpass.The memorial is well worth the visit. A memorial Wall, Assorted military vehicles and a garden adorn the grounds.
