This is a great museum filled with fascinating facts & exhibits covering Aldershot town's history and heritage, together with a multitude of British Army artifacts and miltary combat vehicles. Spent an afternoon here to absorb everything in detail, but could all be seen in much less time as a relatively small museum. There is a small cafe with gift shop, toilet facilities, ample free car parking and is run by dedicated volunteers. Admission fee includes unlimited free visits for a year. Highly recommended!
Fascinating, as much a social history museum as a military museum in the context of the Army's connection with Aldershot. Very friendly staff and a knowledgeable and amusing veteran on hand to share a tale or two. Some of the vehicles look like they need a bit of TLC but if we all visit, that'd help the cause no doubt. We spent a couple of hours there and that would about cover it at a non-hectic pace. But we could have spent longer, just taking it all in - and we can, as the entry tickets are valid for a year. I understand they do days where you can go in the vehicles but that wasn't on the day we went... oh well, a good excuse to go back. The National Serviceman Mannequin is spooky par excellence - enjoy!
Really enjoyed the museum, staff were really helpful and keen to talk about everything on show. Well worth stopping by if you are in the area. Definitely lots to see in all the buildings
Another quick visit while in the area. Interesting small museum showing Aldershot and its military history. Worth a couple of hours of your time. Staff very friendly and engaging.
Lovely little community museum with the well done exhibits including AV elements. Treasure hunt games for the kids made it appealing to youngsters as well as the various military vehicles and obstacle course. Hands on gun and uniform demos added a little sparkle to an interesting day and the cafe, although basic provided everything we needed for an end of tour snack. Will go and again and recommend to others with young families.
Small museum telling the story of daily life for a soldier since the establishment of Aldershot as a military base in 1854. Containing exhibits, photographs with a selection of vintage military vehicles/artillery pieces. Unfortunately beginning to show its age and doesn't appear to have been modernised much since the 1990s. Onsite parking and cafe provided however.
Absolutely fantastic place. Highly recommended if in the area.
Nice museum, great staff, for such a small place had a lot of informationVisited onWeekendWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNot sure
A small museum mixing up the history of Aldershot with the history of the army's presence in the town today. While not a museum of the military, there are quite a few military vehicles and tanks around the site. In the museum, there's some costumes for children to try on, and when we visited, deactivated guns to handle. To complete the visit, there's an assault course for children in the grounds. A great place to llspent a couple of hours learning about Aldershot and it's relationship with the military.
The children did enjoy themselves alot, which I was surprised with. They have a "find item Forms" that are good. Kids enjoyed that too. Interesting facts throughout, would be going again. As there is a lot of information. Outside there is a picnic area, great ! And an obstacle course, that my kids spent a while on....
