Admission
Museum Exhibits: Admission to the museum is free; donations

Simulator are $4 each, or a ticket for both for $7. Children under
8 are free when accompanied by a paying adult (limit 2). Tickets

Handicap Access
The Airborne & Special Operations Museum
is the most advanced of all the Army museums and prides itself
on attention to detail, evident in the accessibility of the museum
to all visitors. Handicap parking is available near the entrance,
and all exhibits and the grounds are designed for everyone to enjoy.
Gently sloping walkways surround the building, and a wide sweeping
path winds its way through the main exhibit area. The museum has
three wheelchairs available for those who require them.
Groups
Groups are always welcome and should call in advance for more information. Special rates are available for scheduled groups who wish to watch the movie and ride the simulator during their visit. School and military groups receive additional discounts, but must schedule their visit at least two weeks in advance to be eligible for the discounts. For further information, contact our Groups & Special Projects Coordinator by filling out an
information request form, calling 910-643-2774, or emailing
kcage@asomf.org.
Your Cooperation Please
The Airborne & Special Operations
Museum has on display hundreds of rare and significant artifacts.
Preserving these artifacts is a full time job, as time and environmental
factors continue to slowly take their toll. It is for this reason,
and to be courteous to other visitors, that no food, beverages
or smoking is allowed inside the building. Unfortunately, many
of the artifacts aren't able to handle the demands of bright lights,
and we ask that no flash photography be taken in the galleries.
Professional photographers may inquire if they wish to take limited
photographs.
