Summary: Honestly, this experience should be more money. What an amazing afternoon learning about weapons, especially World War 2. The true memobrailia was interesting as were the background stories to them. The first part you are learning the history and then you get to fire three that you choose. We drove over 3 hours and it was well worth it Treat yourself to amazing learning afternoon! We are so glad we did!
