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.

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...

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!

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/

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.

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!

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.

SIM range and the combat SIM are main points but the museum in an entirety is a great place

If you do the simulators ask for a weapons overview first. We didn't get any tips on operation.
Rob SchwingApril 14, 2010
A hidden gem of a musuem and it is TOTALLY free to the public. Only charge is for the IMAX theater.
