Disappointing,
Outside looks like a prison,
It would be good if it was more interactive for kids
Eg. Put the helicopter outside to allow decent photos, have a tank or truck kids can sit in...
Have a rifle that people can touch, even a chained up decommissioned one you get a photo with
You can buy full size metal replicas in WA, here everything is bolted down behind glass..
The museum itself is a giant gun safe you walk into, some of the best guns are upstairs, many busted old boys wouldn't go up the stairs, there's a lift but l don't think they'd bother
The experience on site could/should motivate a kid to join later
I think many opportunities/benefits of this site are missed by a boring design that doesn't engage the visitor
Would a person of any age talk excitedly about visiting here?
No of course not
For a young boy to get a pic with an assault rifle would be the highlight of his year, creating a desire to hold it again, to fire a real one
It's not hard to disign and build something interesting,
This place is flat and lifeless
Best thing about this museum is watching it get smaller in the mirror driving away
