Three museums under one roof, all free. The U.S. Army Engineer Museum and Military Police Museum are both good, but the Chemical Corps Museum is what you want to see first.

Along with the museums, we loved that we got to see an actual piece of the Berlin wall right outside the entrance to the museums. Also across the street are a wide array of military vehicles. My three boys all loved it!

The Chemical and Engineer museums are full and interesting. The MP museum is ehh. The MP museum does have great merchandise -- as for the other gift shops, it's eh! Worth the trip and worth the knowledge of what the military does. Great place. Mr. Greg, the facility manager, and Mr. Stein are very sweet!
