Reviews
"We were fortunate to visit during graduation and were so impressed with the graduates we saw. They were so poised, mature and proud, and we were proud of them. The museum is well done, easy to navigate and full of history. Definitely worth a visit."
"The most amazing museum showing the history and dedication of the Marines!"
"Great free museum on an active military base. Really loved seeing some of the recruits around the base during our visit."
"This museum is excellent. There are basically three main themes to explore. Marine Corps history, Paris Island induction, and local South Carolina history. Each area is well presented, and I learned a lot. The museum is small, but expect to spend at least an hour or two here, especially if you read every plaque and watch the indoctrination film. The museum is on the base itself, but civilians can visit, as can foreigners. You need to check in at the front gate and tell them you are there for the museum. They will want to see your ID as well as the registration and insurance for your vehicle. Driver’s licenses or passports will work. The guards are friendly enough, but expect your car to be searched. As you exit the museum itself you will see a map for a self-drive tour of the base. This is an interesting tour in itself and worth doing. Make sure to drive the speed limit on the base. We saw several cars stopped during our drive around the island."
"I spent 13 weeks here 40 years ago training to become a Marine. Great place for a young man to be. The world's finest fighting force."
