Small museum that highlights the long history of firearms.
Reviewed By Nordseth
We have driven by the NRA headquarters for years and never really had given it much thought. We were looking for something to do this past weekend and decided to visit their museum. None of our group are big gun fans especially. The quantity of firearms on display is amazing. And the range of history covered is excellent from the American Revolution to the Civil War to both World Wars. Additionally there are display of exotic hunting guns plus there were a slew of weapons used in blockbuster movies (our favorite area). The displays are all well lit and labeled plus brief informational details on each display are shown.

We love this place! Very comfortable seating, and during the covid pandemic, they strictly observe all protocols, so we feel very safe, especially since crowds are basically non-exisitent. In mid-week during the day, we sometimes have the theater to ourselves, or share with just a handful of others. They also have a nice selection of food and beverage, not just popcorn and candy!

We took a group of six to the escape room. It was fun to choose from different themes. It was our first time doing an escape room, so I was happy everything was explained well. It was challenging but with clues it was not frustrating.
