"Great experience went to a Martin Luther King event and the Petersburg symphony played and they had beautiful poetry and speakers and art from Africa the place is beautiful clean and amazing..I will return!!"

"Possibly our kids' favorite museum in this area. There's parking right outside. The collections have been very engaging historically, locally, and socially. I've learned so much from the museum. My kids love the children's area. The restrooms are very well maintained. We also enjoyed the cafeteria."

"This museum offers lectures, exhibits, etc, but my favorite aspect is the Virginia Journey's Member Travel Program. My aunt gifted me a membership in 2021, and I find it a great way to travel to destinations that I might not think of going to on my own. The trips are very informative. My first trip was the Biltmore in Asheville, NC, and it was great! With knowledgeable, courteous, and organized coordinators such as Cathy Boe and Elizabeth Darling, you'll be glad you joined!"

"This place is 5 stars all the way! They do an excellent job interpreting the states history. Everything was laid out really well. They also have a cafe and a gift shop. Down to the logistics. I have severely limited mobility and depend on an electric scooter to get around. This place was extremely accessible. There are bathrooms on the first and second floor. My only complaint is that there is a walk in family/handicap bathroom on the first floor only. There are standard men and women’s bathroom on the second floor. There are benches all throughout the museum. All of the displays are easy to see and read. The staff are scattered around and are very helpful. The cafe had a limited menu but what we had was good. I got a premade ham and Swiss sandwich which was really good. We also got ice cream sandwiches which were really good. Overall we spent over 3 hours there and honestly rushed through and skimmed the last room. We could’ve easily spent 4 hours visiting. There is an elevator to help those with limited mobility navigate the museum. We came to this area from south Jersey just to see this museum and it was well worth it. I really enjoyed it."

"This is an excellent history museum. It’s well designed with a variety of subjects, from Pre-history to recent events. It doesn’t shy away from showing both the good and bad history of Virginia. The displays are extremely well set up with a good balance of objects and text. I applaud the curators for putting together an excellent collection."
