Allow plenty of time to see both the inside and outside displays. Several interactive displays let's the kids get a feel for the transportation system..

I'm at Ft. Eustis all the time and have shown the museum to a number of friends. It's always worthwhile and I've always loved it. Being a history buff also helps lolMichael

It's a GREAT museum, but it's hard to get to because it's at Fort Eustis and you have to go through security to get there. Well worth it, just an fyi take your information with you.

Fort Eustis is a limited access post. You have to stop at the guard house near the gate. Just tell them you want to visit the museum and they will issue you a visitors pass. We go to a lot of aviation and transportation museums and this has turned out to be my favorite. We actually walked around twice. If you are in the area you really must stop here. My favorite (and I have never seen one before) was the aircar.

A pretty interesting place to look over even if you are not military. Went with my brother-in-law and my sister to check it out and they have a lot of vehicles in here as well as what was used before there was mechanized transport. The building and outside displays are a little tired looking, but the dioramas are good and the printed information describing what is on display is really informative. Not something i would go a long way out of my way to go see, but if you happen to be in the area and looking to kill some time and expand what you know about military transportation, this is a good place to go.

This ArmyTransportation Museum was a very nice surprise to find. I was in the area for a baseball camp with my son- not needing to see him do baseball drills for the 100th time I went looking for something to do. This is a museum that I truely enjoyed!! It is located on an active army base so you do go through a security search - both you and your car. All doors, trunk and engine hood must be opened and your licence info is radioed in to someone who checks on your background. A bit of a hassle but worth the effort. The museum it self does a great job in outlining the roll of transportation from the first moments of the US Army to present day. The inside exhibits are set in two large buildings and you follow a informal path that takes you through the ages and wars of the United States. Interior exhibits are beautifuly staged, supporting information is well presented. Read as much or as little as you want to get the story.Outside there are large display yards, some artifacts are under cover others are out in the open. These displays range from Trains, Hovercrafts, landing barges, a great selection of Helicopters and planes, jeeps, trucks and maybe the coolest thing a Hover Staff Car!! There is bound to be a couple of vehicles here that you never seen before. This museum is MORE THAN TRUCKS!!This is afree museum but do make a donation if you can.

Some exhibits are outside and include a US Army attempt of a one man hovercraft, Inside items include a supply bicycle from Vietnam not for riding but to be loaded with supplies and pushed down the trail and a cutaway model of an army ship. Who knew the army had ships?

Willamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown . . . and just down I-64 from these three (also near Busch Gardens), at the entrance to Ft. Eustice, is this additional historical attraction. Dozens of life-sized displays of military transportation, in chronological order from the horse-and-wagon days before and including WW I, to WW II, Korea, Vietnam, and into the modern era (full-sized MRAPs, for example). All with plenty of explanatory notes. A real military buff could easily spend a full day here. Outside there are fields of additional vehicles and actual railroad and nautical equipment. Since it's just inside the gate you have to sign in and have your car cleared (if you have a rental, bring your documentation), but the guards were courteous and it took us only 15 minutes. Parents must be attentive as kids are not allowed to climb on the displays.

This was nice especially for the price. Free! Really enjoyed the history of military transportation. Also enjoyed seeing the planes, trains and tanks in person. It was very thought provoking and I especially enjoyed the ideas that didn't "make it off the ground." Recommend highly, but be prepared to read a lot as there are no tour guides. It is just roaming from room to room reading about the different modes of transportation and how they were used or not used. My wife even liked it. I recommend it highly.

Really nice display of army transportation vehicles. Good descriptions of when they were used and what they were used for. Outside a lot of the larger vehicles are shown, and they are really impressive. Well worth a stop.

The US Army Transportation Museum continues to improve their collection of historical artifacts. They seem to put up a new display every year and constantly give back to the community. If you have the opportunity to go to the museum on Halloween, they put on "A Night at the Museum" in which the exhibits come alive. It is a great experience.

I enjoyed looking through this museum. It is set up very well and the displays are information and interesting. There are displays outside as well. The helicopter section was great and trains also. It would be awesome if is was more kid friendly and allowed a few of the displays to be interactive and a couple or more to climb on or look inside. That would be the only negative I saw. It was free! Clean restrooms inside and a few items for sell inside as well. It is on a military installation.

Very interesting. Takes about 45 min or longer. The admission is free but suggested donation is $4.00. You do have to go through a security search of your car to get in which adds to the overall feel. I recommend a visit.

Not open to the public. Great transportation museum, good PX and commissary. Big base that has all of the MWR activities you can think of.

My grandson loves to visit this museum. There are interesting displays both inside and outside. His favorite part is exploring the outside pavilion areas. There are displays of older transportation equipment, uniforms, etc.
