A Walk Through the War Zones of History
Travel through the most pivotal moments in U.S. military history as each exhibit immerses you in a different era — from the Civil War and World Wars to Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the War on Terror. These full-scale scenes are built to feel real, using sight, sound, and set design to create an emotional, high-impact experience that’s far from static.
This isn't just about looking — it's about feeling. You'll hear the rumble of tanks, the echo of distant explosions, and the tension of the battlefield.
Please Note: Audio and visual effects may be intense and are not recommended for very young children or sensitive guests.
Enter the Bomb Room
Have you ever seen a real nuclear bomb? Touched one? Want to? Step into the bomb room to witness an experimental Cold War-era prototype up close. If this design had gone into full production, it could have very likely led to the end of civilization as we know it.
Honoring Our Heroes
Remembering the Past. Preserving the Legacy.
At the heart of the Military Combat Zone is a deep respect for those who served. We honor the brave men and women who risked everything — and those who never returned — to protect our nation and its values.
This exhibit was created as a living tribute: a space that preserves the memory of service members while bringing their stories to life. It’s our way of saying thank you, of ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.
Through immersive storytelling, hands-on learning, and breathtaking displays, we educate visitors of all ages — even those who don’t realize they’re learning — and leave them with a lasting impression of what freedom costs and who pays the price.
