Military Museum Grand Re-Opening at Volo Museum Memorial Day Weekend!

Rated as one of the top military museums in the United States, the Military Combat Zone at the Volo Museum is more than a museum — it’s an experience. This immersive exhibit features lifelike dioramas enhanced with audio and visual effects that place you right in the heart of the action. Discover rare and one-of-a-kind artifacts, from an experimental rocket-powered helicopter — the only one of its kind in the world — to a prototype World War II jet engine, along with a collection of carefully curated vehicles and wartime relics you won’t find anywhere else.
Being one of our oldest exhibits, we decided to not only preserve the building that it is housed in (Late 1800s), but we also wanted to refresh, reimagine, and greatly expand the museum. We built a massive building around the old building and expanded it to fit even more incredible military machines, from English Troop Carrier Tanks and Desert Storm- Used Humvees to Military Prototype Rockets, One-Man Rocket Helicopters, and even an atomic bomb, yes, you read that right. We have remodeled and enhanced many other areas of the museum, making it more interactive and more fascinating.
The new military museum was a massive and very expensive undertaking. Instead of raising the price of the admission to the entire museum, it will cost 5 tokens to see this exhibit normally, but this weekend it will be included FREE to all museum guests with a Platinum, Gold or Volo Museum ticket! Any active or inactive military personnel will always be free with identification.
