This museum is the history of the Marine Corps told by the Marine Corps -- and all that that means. Its exhibits are comprehensive, impressive, inspiring, but also honest and frank about what war is and what it means for those who serve. It does not shy away from the ugliness as some military museums might, but it also does not apologize for what the Marine Corp is. I highly recommend any with an interest in history, politics, and American life to visit.
Some of the artifacts on display are special to see with one's own eyes. For me the highlight was seeing one of the American flags from the famous pictures of the flag raisings on Iwo Jima during World War 2.
Our two boys really enjoyed the kids section and seeing all the large-scale military hardware.

I was not in the Marine Corps and this was highly recommended to me. We were able to spend about 2 hrs here and could have spent an hr more but they were closing. This museum is free. Fantastic gift shop as well. I have to say that this place was very, very in depth and covered the history from the beginning to current, with Afghanistan/Iraq sections currently under construction. Probably my favorite museum I've visited in a long, long time. Would highly recommend going here regardless if you've served in the Marines or not (or any other branch for that matter). Can be an emotional experience visiting this museum (it was for me).

Visited on a fairly quiet day around noon. Totally enjoyed our 5 hour visit, seemed to comprehensively cover the entire swath of USMC history and they are working to complete an exhibit devoted to Afghanistan. Very minor negative point. Except for aircraft displayed in main lobby, most were hung above the exhibits in the other areas and were a bit hard to view in detail. Recommend very highly as a great military museum

I visited here with my family on June 5 2023. This museum has free admission and outlines The United States Marine Corps for inception to present. I couldn't believe how large this museum is and how detailed the exhibits are. There are restaurants on the second floor and one, Tun Tavern, named after the original tavern where The United States Marine Corps held its first recruitment. The gift shop has a wide variety of souvenirs and memorabilia. The museum is a walk at your own pace and will take three to five hours to tour, there is a lot to see. I will definitely be back.

US Marine Corp Museum
If you have not had the opportunity to visit the National Museum of the Marine Corp you are missing a good museum. If you know a Marine take them with you when you visit. Their insight into the battle, skirmishes, and retelling of stories and events from a first person point of view adds depth to your museum visit and helps to fill in the historical gaps with otherwise unknown facts and tidbits.
The approach to the National Museum of the Marine Corp is impressive. Engraved red brick borders wind their way through concrete pavers with names of donors and service men and women. The grassy area surrounding the museum also had winding pathways that lead from the museum to a lake and chapel that looked down on the museum from a gentle sloping hill.
As you enter the museum the entrance opens up to a high ceiling sloping to the right under a glass paneled ceiling. Hanging from the ceiling are actual fighter planes complete with marines wearing various fatigues colors representing combat in different wars. On the museum entrance way floor were various military vehicles occupied by life like marines re-enacting moments of war, or training.
As you make your way through the museum you transition between realistic life size dioramas, miniature dioramas and hands-on exhibits that help to bring to life the marine experience. Guests of all ages will find it both informative and entertaining. There is also a canteen with quick cafeteria style food and a restaurant ‘The Tun’ with sit down service.
The gift shop had an impressive selection of marine corp memorabilia. Thermos shaped like mortar shells, challenge coins, scarves, postcards etc. Shoppers will definitely find gifts for their favorite marine. No matter what you choose you will not regret it.

Extremely well executed museum, with immersive exhibits and lots of details about past campaigns I didn't know existed. The most moving display for me was the Iwo Jima flags (there were TWO that were hoisted) in the WWII area. Docents were happy to share their knowledge.
I recommend the new theater and "This is the Marines"
We spent over 4 hours there, and stopped in the non-denominational chapel on the way out. Did not have time to explore the grounds. If it would of been summertime we could of continued walking the area.
Quite a few Marines, active and retired were taking their kids through the museum as well.
For those taking the Auto Train, the museum is the next exit down from the terminal, and could be something to occupy waiting time, a cab would be inexpensive.

The only reason I will not give a 5 rating is because their aircraft display was so disappointing. In the late 1970s, they had an aircraft display on the base at Quantico. It was absolutely wonderful. Today, a few aircraft are suspended from the ceiling like toys. Very disappointing indeed.
Otherwise, this is a wonderful museum, laying out the history of our Marines in a logical manner. Be prepared to spend a lot of time. There is ample parking, but so much to see and read. Take the kids if they're old enough. They'll enjoy it, too.
Don't forget to visit the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park, which I have reviewed separately. To visit both, you will need at least 4 hours.

This is an amazing museum with so much to see and learn. We did not have time to see everything, but we will definitely come back another time. I particularly enjoyed the exhibit on the Making of a Marine. There is historical information alongside quotes, photos, and other elements that help bring the history to life.

If my review is useful, please give me a “helpful” vote.
1. Bottom Line Up Front/frame of reference for my remarks. This is my third visit. I am a retired Marine Corps Infantry Officer, history buff and a tour guide aboard the Battleship North Carolina; as such I have high expectations of military museums. I have visited over 30 in the United States. However, I am always willing to visit any small museum that may not be professionally-curated. This museum contains a great deal of very well-maintained/restored/re-furbished items. The museum is professionally-curated on the highest level
2. Details of my visit
2.a. Date & Time. Sunday 30 Oct 2022 (morning - afternoon).
2.b. Other patrons. This was a quiet day; during my visit, there were approximately ten other groups consisting of 3-5 adults and children. Additionally, there was a Boy Scout event in the main gallery consisting of approximately 50 persons.
2.c. Length of visit. I was at the museum for 3 1/2 hours. If this is your first visit or have little/no knowledge of the Marine Corps, you may need at least four hours.
3. Location. Just off of Interstate 95 near the Marine Corps base at Quantico, Virginia. Check the museum’s website for current information; I plugged the address in to my iPhone and it took me directly to the museum.
4. Access
4.a. Passenger vehicles. The parking lots can be accessed by any type of passenger vehicle. There are a great deal of parking spaces.

5. Parking. No charge; the parking lot is paved.
6. Admission. No charge.
7. Hours of operation. Check the museum’s website for current information.
8. Handicap access. The museum is completely handicap-accessible. There are benches scattered throughout the museum and there is an elevator to the second floor (where the restaurant is located).
9. Child friendliness. I would assess that the museum is child-friendly. There is one gallery that is oriented towards children; I did not enter this gallery.
10. Permissions/prohibitions

11. Type/nature of visit. Visitors may conduct un-guided tours; I do not know if guided tours are available; consider calling the museum or checking their website.
12. Layout of museum. 135 acre property with paved walking trails; 100,000 + square foot museum.
13. Entry Hall. This is a very large, high, circular display hall with large, complex dioramas and aircraft.

NOTE. All of the Exhibit Halls listed below consist of: informative placards; photographs; weapons; uniforms; equipment; small dioramas and large, full-size, complex dioramas.
15. Exhibit Hall - Making Marines. As the name implies, this hall depicts how civilians are transformed into U.S. Marines. Of note: there is an indoor simulated marksmanship training range (it requires payment).
16. Exhibit Hall - Organization/Origin of the Continental Marine Corps. Revolutionary War.
17. Exhibit Hall - The Barbary Wars. North Africa, early 1800s.

38 Other museums I can personally recommend. Listed from north to south and then westward.
38.a. National Museum of the U.S. Army. Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
38.b. American Armored Foundation Tank Museum. Danville, Virginia. This is a huge (over 250,000 square feet) museum containing: Jeeps, trucks, armored vehicles, artillery pieces and tanks. Of note, they have a Russian T-34 tank. Be advised, it is neither heated nor air-conditioned.

38.d. Museum of Aviation. Warner Robins, Georgia.
38.e. National Museum of the U.S. Army Infantry. Fort Benning, Georgia.
38.f. Valiant Air Command Museum. Titusville, Florida (near Cape Canaveral).
38.g. National Museum of Naval Aviation. Pensacola, FL.
38.h. U.S. Veterans Memorial Museum. Huntsville, Alabama. This is a small museum that is not professionally-curated but has a great deal of well-organized collections of weapons, uniforms and equipment. The greatest attribute of this museum is that they have a comprehensive collection of all Jeep models developed throughout World War II and afterward.
38.i. Battleship Alabama. Mobile, Alabama. In addition to the ship, they have quite a few aircraft outside but, more importantly, they have quite a few beautifully-restored aircraft in an indoor pavilion.
38.j. National Museum of World War II. New Orleans, Louisiana.
38.k. National Museum of the Pacific War. Fredericksburg, Texas.
39. Conclusion. This museum is definitely worth visiting if you are in the area and is worth a special trip even if you are not in the area.

I went up on the upper level in the big main gallery and looked carefully at the tail gunner in the World War I biplane. I could swear he was moving just slightly, turning the gun back and forth from side to side a bit. Animatronics, or were my eyes (and brain?) playing tricks on me?

The firing range is laser rifles, no need to bring anything extra except the few dollars it costs. Someone else will have to address your other question, perhaps the museum itself.

Hello
As all have said it is free parking is free and close to the museum. You can make a contribution to the museum during the tour. 4 hours is a little long for the children, but plenty of places to rest and get something to eat suitable for children. Enjoy the museum.

If I go to the U.S.M.C. Museum by train, it will stop at Quantico Station. Will I be able to get back there to take the train back up to D.C.? Lastly, what bus can I take from D.C. to the Museum and back if I choose to go that method? Thanks!

First and foremost enjoy your visit! Driving is easier than rail and there is plenty of parking available. The Quantico station is a platform with shelter inside the base. Served by AMTRAK and VRE stations are within walking distance of each other. You should be able to call for a cab, since local transit connections are available. Again enjoy your visit.

DC and Crystal City is waaaaaay too far away. There are several excellent landmarks around Quantico, Stafford and Fredericksburg.
The traffic and parking issues in DC and Crystal City is outrageous. Plus it's a slower pace with much better food options and family activities. Several Civil War parks, museums, and the like.

The Semper Fi Memorial Park is three or four trails! I served in Vietnam so I was interested in every exhibit and memorial to those who had served. I took an hour but if you want to savor it as a former Marine I could easily allot two hours. If you have prior service you will want to read every thing and you will enjoy the experience.

On average, how long would it take a couple of amateur history buffs to tour this museum?

Three to four hours would be likely the minimum time if you are reading any of the written material about the exhibits. For a straight visual walk through, it could likely be done in 2. It is well worth as much time as you can allot.
