They have an excellent collection of planes, bombs, and missiles. The volunteers appear to work hard to keep the aircraft outside in the weather in good shape. We appreciated the opportunity to get a look at equipment we've only heard about. Love the volunteers! The museum is free, but I urge y'all to contribute in the box in the lobby.

This museum is located not too far from the gate at Eglin AFB. It is on the smaller side, which is surprising given the immense military presence in the area. The exhibits were informative and they have a decent collection of planes on display outside.

We enjoy going to Museums when we travel. We decided to take the day and go to the Armament Museum. There was a nice collection. We took our time to read the descriptions and had an enjoyable time watching the little ones reactions to all the airplanes and helicopters.
We browsed the gift shop and bought a few things to...

We travelled here with two boys, 8 and 5 who thoroughly enjoyed everything about the museum. Took a couple of well spent hours to look at each and every plane/helicopter, take pictures and read each description.

My parents, husband, 6 year old son and myself visited the Armament Museum in March 2013 on a non-beach weather type of day. We had this on our list of To Do's while in Destin because it was free and my son loves planes.
My family really liked the fact that the kids can run around outside and see the...
