AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these
An outdoor museum of tanks, artillery and amphibious vehicles that reviewers walk in about an hour. Volunteers will guide you round and explain the exhibits. One reviewer was disappointed you cannot get up close to the vehicles. It is exposed ground, and one visit fell on a scorching day.
180+ tanks and military vehicles outdoors — the standout El Monte-area spot. Weather-dependent.

I'm a devoted War Thunder and World of Tanks player, and this museum houses all the American tanks I'm keen on—the M4 Sherman, M7 Priest, M47, M48, and the M60A1. It was absolutely thrilling to see the real things for the first time. To my surprise, they even had Japanese and German 37mm anti-tank guns and a Type 95 Ha-Go light tank. However, the biggest disappointment of the visit was not being able to get up close to touch or measure the gun mantlets on the M4 Sherman, M47, M48, and M60A1. The weather was scorching, but as an avid military buff, today was well worth the trip.

For Father's Day, we spent a sweet hour walking around this outdoor museum where my husband can discuss the uses history and merits of gun mounts, torpedo launchers, tanks, and amphibious vehicles with the kids.
