    Ze hebben er ook "leuke" dingen voor kinderen. Zo worden ze enthousiast gemaakt om het leger in te gaan en als huurling van de NAVO in een land waar je niks te zoeken hebt ingezet te worden. Daarna heeft je inmiddels volwassen kind een trauma, lichamelijke verminken of is er gewoonweg niet meer. Op defensie hoef je dan niet te rekenen.

    Dus ga vooral lekker naar dat museum als je niks om je kind geeft of hem/haar niet het beste gunt.

    Of trap er niet in en wees een goede ouder.

    Goed bedoeld advies van een veteraan.

    Het Nationaal Militair Museum is een museum dat zoals de naam al doet vermoeden, de geschiedenis vertelt over het militaire verleden en heden van Nederland. Er wordt een compleet verhaal verteld dat voor jong en oud interessant is. Vooral de straaljagers aan het plafond zijn erg indrukwekkend.

    Wow! Ik was erg onder de indruk van dit museum. Erg leuk en interessant voor de gehele familie! Er is erg veel aandacht gegaan naar het educatieve aspect, de inrichting en de opzet zelf, met mooi materieel en veel en goede uitleg.

    Leuk, leerzaam en mooi museum. Ook als je niet zo van defensie houdt. Niet alleen kijken, maar kinderen kunnen ook zelf eea ervaren. Toen wij er waren was er een bootcamp waar je je voor in kon schrijven. Onze dochter vond dat te gek! Met diploma uitreiking aan 't eind. Wij hebben ons een dag prima vermaakt. Zeker aan te raden.
