What families say

Families give this mixed but generally positive marks — kids can spend a good hour or more exploring the outdoor artillery displays and original 1869 frontier buildings, plus a free cell-phone audio tour of the quadrangle, and staff/docents get consistent praise for being knowledgeable and helpful (one even points visitors to Geronimo's grave). One reviewer recommends watching the 20-minute intro movie first for context before touring exhibits. Note that access can be an issue: it's on a military base, indoor exhibits were closed during a government shutdown for one visitor, and another couldn't make the weekday-only hours work with a 2-hour drive — so call ahead to confirm
