Bring the family, it's free!! But they do ask for a small donation of $5, go have lunch in the Fife & Drum and the do all of the simulators and learn the history of our American solider. PRICELESS

I spoke at an event here and couldn’t have been treated better. The staff were courteous and attentive. I also toured the museum and loved it.

The NIM has a walk through with videos, life sized figures of soldiers from our past wars and their personal stories. It also has a large room downstairs that can be used for formal events.

Voted # 1 free museum in the USA...and rightly so. www.google.com/amp/taskandpurpose.com/national-infantry-museum-tops-list-best-free-us-museums/amp/

One of the best museums that I have ever visited. The last 100 yards entrance to the museum is mind blowing. Absolutely worth a visit.

We have the pleasure of working with NIM on their marketing needs, and know first hand what a gem this "place to remember" is. The exhibits. The IMAX. The Combat Simulators. One visit won't be enough!

Really informative and they had a lot of interactive stations and plenty of video documentaries! It was really awesome to see.

If you have never been to the Smithsonian, then save your gas money because the Infantry Museum is as good as it gets. The Final 100 yards exhibit is sure to give you chills. A must-visit.

In addition to all the great artifacts and interactive exhibits, the NIM offers the most immersive entertainment options in GA, including the only IMAX theatre between ATL and Pensacola.

A world-class museum, right here in Columbus. The NIM Combat Simulators are pretty intense. Haven't seen an IMAX flick yet, but the restaurant is pretty good. If you live here & haven't been, shame!
