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.
Fort Benning of Columbus, GA has been home to multiple training schools located at its base, including the Army Ranger School, Officer Candidate School, and Jump School. Watch this video for more info Read more
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.
What an awesome place with so much history and the simulated artilery in the humvee was fantastic!!! The food was delicious, If ever try the flank steak on ciabatta with fries !!! Yummy...
Attended nephew's graduation and the history integrated into the grounds of this museum was awesome. Suggested donation for visit was $5
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.
The National Infantry Museum is one of the top destinations in town and has some amazing displays of our military heritage and history. Definitely worth a trip.
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!
Great place to revisit our nations history and learn some new things. Medals are on display on the ground floor center display.
One of the best military museums I have visited. Enough to keep kids and parents interested.
Loved this museum . The displays are unbelievable. Couldn't believe how nice this place was
Very cool place to visit. Loved it and learned a thing or two. :-)
Entrance is free! A thorough history of the infantryman. Unbelievable war trophies and (for a fee) some awesome simulators.
One of the best museums I've ever been to.
SIM range and the combat SIM are main points but the museum in an entirety is a great place
Did you know? The Army is the oldest and largest of the U.S. armed forces. Then known as the Continental Army, it was formed on June 14, 1775 with George Washington as Commander-in-Chief. Read more
Bring the whole family! One of the most impressive museums I've been to for sure.

It's a nice place to visit for a history lesson. The staff are very knowledgeable .
A wonderful event with great new family members.
Easily the coolest place in the area. Amazing!! Oh! Did I mention its free??
A beautiful facility, with a suggested $5 donation ! Displays detail the lives of infantrymen and women throughout history.
Check out the Fife and Drum Restaurant on the second floor, great eats!
Recommend a entire day to visit.
Awesome place to learn about the men who keep you safe at night. .11B!
Great exhibits ! Walk through America's military past
If your a student then you will get a discount to see the IMAX documentaries .
Try the NIM SIMs. Realistic virtual combat simulators . Get the full package. It's the nest deal
If you do the simulators ask for a weapons overview first. We didn't get any tips on operation.
Well worth a visit.
This is amazing exhibit of history and heroes!
A hidden gem of a musuem and it is TOTALLY free to the public. Only charge is for the IMAX theater.
Be sure to leave a donation and don't miss the Infantry Theater!
The Sims are good but the rifle range was broke. Great museum though
Spent most of the day here
