We really enjoyed our visit to the museum. It was very informative and the displays were very detailed. Definitely worth visiting. I have two little boys and they loved seeing the model boats on the second floor. Very cool and elaborate!

This is one jam packed museum. If you want to take it all in, be sure to leave yourself at least an hour. The first floor is full of info on the history of the academy and its students. The second floor is full of awesome shop models. Be sure to make your way to the back of the second floor.

Lots of interesting displays and artifacts from Naval history. Very well presented. Not too much or too little, hits the sweet spot for education and entertainment.

Great range of artifacts, awesome museum staff.

My family loved this place. We live near Independence Seaport museum and they love it there so learning about boats and this place is full of that. My kids were expecting BOATS though like at the seaport.They do performances that are amazing though. It has more of a school though hence Naval Academy.

A must visit! Large campus, lush green. Young marines running on tracks and practising on the grounds truly adds to the punch and a feel to do something incredible!Do carry your ID cards and just walk in on a Saturday morning. You are booked for the rest of the day! Have lunch at any of lovely restaurants along the water body at Annapolis, walk around and have fun.

Wonderful artifacts. Nice and brilliant collections.

If you like model shops, this is the place to go. 2nd floor all models, 1st floor is random history items.

Excellent tour. Great gift shop with military discount. Beautiful chapel. Museum was very full. So much to see. Plan on a whole day or more.

Very informative and interesting museum on naval history of US. Volunteers are fantastic and very dedicated. Bone ship models collection made by POWs is impressive.

It is closed due to Covid. They should update the website

It’s hard to describe the magnificence of this place. Spend a few hours on a nice day to explore. It’s incredible.

Really love this section of the naval academy its a pretty small museum but has a great atmosphere and intimate feel. Learned some neat things as well.

I was totally taken by the historical value of this museum.Having served 7 years active and 4 years reserves, I am fascinated by the engineering and strategies of the 17th & 18th century.

An awesome museum of Naval History. The Naval Academy is an amazing campus and an awesome place to visit. The museum is free and is very cool. There are a lot of exhibits displaying the entire history of the US Navy. The Crypt of John Paul Jones is nearby as well and a must see.

I love this part of the academy. The bone ship section is my favorite part. Amazingly detailed models made from bone fragments; Chicken, pork, beef, whatever the sailors had that night. Really cool to look at and the details are amazing. There is so much to see it will take you a long time, even if you are not a usual museum person.

Great place! You cant miss this place, a lot of history at this place, you will love and you defenetly wouldnt be disappointed

The Naval Academy Museum was very cool. It was packed full of historical items and displays. The pictures and videos and displays were very informative. It was a good time. I recommend it to people visiting the area.

Small intimate museum. Free to the public but you need id to enter the campus. Great, well documented exhibits. Dont miss the models upstairs which will be more interesting for younger kids. If you are a war buff, you will really enjoy this.

Nice, informative tours; gorgeous, historic architecture!

The model ship collection and history of the Navy was great.

If you like military aircraft, this is the place. Also saw the Blue Angels. Most excellent. Spent an entire day here. All free!

On the first floor is a museum about the history of the Navy and the Marines. Starts from the very beginning and moves through history and the different battles and then goes into air, subs, nuclear, and space. Upstairs are the most amazing ship models. The rest of the Naval academy is worth checking out too.

Amazing place

Weve visited tons of Smithsonians and have enjoyed their military exhibits. The location on the Academy doesnt have the same footage or big name but it is way better. It was a wonderful shock. The place is overflowing with artifacts, knowledge, visuals, a must see spot.

If youre interested in ship models and history then this is a place you have to go to The models are incredible and some of them are literally priceless. Go during the week and take lots of photos

The museum is a fantastic place to visit if you enjoy US Naval history.

I was amazed to see all the activities they have going on in this area...

US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md displays beautifully part of naval history. I had a wonderful experience visiting this place. It made me want to look up for more information about the ships, the history, the brave sailors. It is really something to see.

Wonderful museum, more people should visit it! Really great and beautiful exhibits!

Very impressive. Lots of history and well laid out. You need at least 2 hours of walking.

The first floor is a timeline of the US Navy, showing how its evolved over the history of our country. The upper floor contains a collection of ship models carved during the early years of our country, and dockyard models for ships. The detail on the models is fantastic, and the place is well worth a visit. Parking may be an issue.

A very interesting tour to be able to see the different aspects of naval academy life.

Great place to learn about the history of the Navy!

Awesome place to be, must do if visiting DC.

A really decent museum that covers many aspects of United States Navy history.

Great place with lots of history behind it. The little theater was interesting but the ships on the 2nd floor were amazing! The church next door was awesome too.

Nothing better than history and this place tells a great story of the USA

Great old fashioned museum with good info and a plethora of fantastic models.

We had a good time visiting they a lot to see good place to go. A must for military history buffs.

Always a great place to visit when you are in the yard. Do plan to spend 1/2 - 1 day here and it closes at 5 PM.

It was absolutely amazing, so much history. Such Beautiful architecture, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable

We were so deeply lost in the amazing history in this wonderful museum, we had to be dragged out to make our drive home. One of our favorite spots on the Yard for us.

Very nice museum. Lots to see. Great area of town.

Probably the best military museum I have visited. Went there with my Marine son.

Perfect collection of ships from wood and animals bones. French prisoners made it from animal bones. You can see so old authentic examples. Awards, books, knifes. A lot of interesting things.

Anyone interested in US history should visit and learn about US Naval history.

The ship build models are excellent.

Great place to visit and its free. There is even a moon rock.

The best tourist destination in downtown Annapolis, hands down.

Amazing collection of artifacts detailing the history of the United States Navy and United States Naval Academy. The second deck houses a wonderful collection of model ships from the Age of Sail.

Excellent museum. Entire history of the US Navy. Incredible collection of model ships. Most models were built in the 17th and 18th century and are incredibly detailed.

There are two parts to the museum. The first level follows the history of the Navy and presents an impressive collection of artifacts to tell that story. The second level displays a collection of incredibly rare model ships from the age of sail. These are both beautiful and historic, having been built as blueprints for the actual historic ships from the 17th and 18th century. If you live close enough, its definitely worth a day trip.

A must visit for anyone. Beautiful displays and gives one a great appreciation for the history of the US Navy.

Make sure you see the bone carved sail ships in the second floor in the back

A solemn place with an interesting history of the Navy.

Great place to visit. Incredible displays.

Work the visit if you like naval history

It was very fascinating to see all the ship replicas n then the navys history through time. Plus the bone ships that were originally made by prisoners out out scraps from dinner etc.

A nice museum for the nautically inclined. Some great historical, interactive displays. To really benefit from the time put into the exhibits you need to plan on spending several hours here. But, worth it. A lot of amazing recreations of historic ships. Helpful volunteers, just ask.

Excellent museum for learning about the history of the United States Naval Academy specifically, but the Navy in general as well. If you’re going to visit the Naval Academy, be sure to add this to your list of activities. Well worth the time, and it’s free.

Lots of neat items in here. Most fascinating for me was the extensive collection of model ships, especially those made from bone.

Great atmosphere and lots of history. The people are. Very knowledgeable about the history of the location and exhibit

A lot of history here, very cool. Didnt know there were so many battles in the history of the U.S.

Proud history of American naval from revolutionary war (13 states) to United States Of America, a glimpse to the past and look out to the future, a must visit museum

The US Naval Academy has a beautiful campus full of historical artifacts, ship models and paintings that you can see absolutely free. Its a nice place to take your family to learn a little about US Naval history.

Great time. Thankful for the men and women of the USN

Beautiful grounds nice museum Enjoyed Our visit we got there late should a start it way earlier

Museum very good. A unique view of USA history. Amazing swords and naval silver dining service. Good animations of battles clarify the action. NO PARKING and NO PICK NICKING inside the fence. Hard to find parking and hard to find which entrance to use.

Love the Naval Academy, but I am an Army girl. #GoArmyBeatNavy

Hugely informative, awesome displays.

Amazing artifacts and puts you face to face with history

Loyalty, dedication to Country, History of the USA and the USN/USMC. Proud of my family’s Naval Heritage.

VERY INTERESTING HISTORY AND VERY INFORMATIVE!!! WE REALLY LIKED IT!!!

One of the best museums in the Annapolis/Baltimore/DC area! Definitely your go-to location for USNA history, but this museum is also perfect for greater (American) naval history. One of the best model ship collections in the world, and some incredible guest speakers are frequently invited to town for some amazing lectures. Definitely worth the visit!

I am a perspective Naval Academy Midshipman and I learned a lot from visiting here.

Impressive but MUST take walking guided tour to get the MOST from your visit.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this museum! Highly recommend a walk around the campus and a stop in here.

Very interesting, more exhibits than I had expected. Everyone was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable while sharing information related to the artifacts. Parking was a little tricky considering civilian status, we had to park off base followed with a very short walk once inside.

Lots of interesting exhibits and I particularly liked the model wooden ships on the top floor

I actually didnt hate it, but... I didnt read ahead of time you need identification-drivers license to enter, so.. I never saw anything because we couldnt go in. So... BRING IDENTIFICATION with you.

Great history. Great traditions. Captures the pride of America.

Great collection of model ships, historical vignettes and a glimpse into naval life in times past. Make sure to notice all the prisoner made models in bone.

Amazing. Must see the Museum. The staff are knowledgeable as well! Very fun time.

Very cool place, definitely recommend but you need enough time to see everything or just go twice.

Free museum open to the public. The second floor is full of model ships, all of them are models of old sailing warships. They have several models made completely out of bone. The first floor is the museum with a full history of the navy, a scattering of artifacts but mostly just reading information about each time period. You can do this museum fast or slow depending on how much reading you want to do. Definitely check it out when visiting the academy.

I loved it and definitely amazing tourist attraction wonderful for the kids and great restaurants

GREAT museum! Make sure You go upstairs to their wooden ship museum, its one of the best collections Ive ever seen! AND Whatever You Do, DO NOT miss visiting John Paul Jones Tomb in the crypt beneath the Naval Academy Chapel! When they built the Chapel, they didnt know where Jones body was, but they built the crypt anticipating that one day they WOULD find him! The story of the discovery of his final resting place (in Paris) is incredible! MAKE SURE NOT TO MISS IT!

Well worth the time. Just have your walking shoes on.

If you like Museums, boats or the Navy. Must see.

Great museum of Naval history with an emphasis on prominent USNA alumni and founders. Has special exhibits.

Great place to visit when you are on campus. Very cool to see all the wood model ships and all the naval history. Friendly and knowledgeable staff too.

I could nerd it up here all day.

Great place to visit . The model boats are really gorgeous

Great place to visit. First floor have history of US Navy. Second floor have ship models dating back to the 1500s. Incredible display.

The u.s. naval academy is a great place to go and walk around that museums in the academy are fantastic looking at great people that served this country sports museum is awesome.

Cool but some things did not work but interesting

Very cool place!

This is a great museum, especially if you are into model ship replicas. The historical elements are very interesting.
