One of the best museums I have ever been to... better even than the Smithsonian. It gives you a feel for the sacrifice of our brave Marines. If you're in the area, you NEED to visit. They honestly should make a fifth "Night at the Museum" here. However, the gift shop is very pricey. They wanted $30 for a hat. Come on.

FREE MUSEUM! I feel this museum is one of the best I have ever been to. The layout is wonderful. There are many facts stated in a easy way to understand. I was able to go through with little ones and able to comprehend the majority of the material shown. My husband stayed another 2 hours to enjoy and read all of the displays. I would go again. Thank you MARINES and your families for your service.
