“Several stores and experiences in one. The top floor is a vast antiques shop with tons of stuff that will have you shouting "OMG! Look at this!" "Wow, I had this as a kid!" And, "Holy cow, I always wanted one of these!" The prices were OK. I doubt you're going to find any bargains, but if there's something you're looking for, there's a good chance they have it. Downstairs there's a small museum displaying field uniforms and equipment from WWII and WWI along with examples of toys and propaganda from the various nations. There's also a little display about the Doolittle Raid with some artifacts of some of the crewmen. The museum is by donation and is worth the visit. Most of the floor-space of the downstairs is devoted to a military antiques store which is very nearly a museum in and of itself. Again, the prices are perfectly reasonable, but I didn't see any great bargains. (If you're in the market for a dozen Soviet WWII bayonets, this is the place you want to be.) There's also a good military bookstore in the corner as well as a variety of historical ephemera for sale. If you have any interest in military history at all, you'll probably have a difficult time getting out of there without buying something. I certain didn't. And I'll go back again soon.”

“What an amazing place! Lots restored tanks, artillery pieces, jeeps and half tracks. Many of the vehicles are hands on...You can literally climb into them or up on top. Some of them still run! Almost every vehicle has a fascinating history behind it... My favorite is the half-track that saw service in both WWII and with the Israeli military -- looking carefully, you can see old bullet holes in the sides that were welded up and painted over. It really adds something to the exhibit when you're sitting in the back of the real vehicle looking at these old war wounds and thinking about what it must have been like to have been a soldier riding in it when it started taking fire. Another amazing exhibit is a genuine memorial Japanese flag gifted to a kamikaze pilot's family after his mission. If you enjoy military history at all, you must visit! Hell, you should just check it out anyway, it's an afternoon well spent!”

“My wife and I recently walked about the Niles Canyon Railway museum while waiting for one of the Niles Concerts in the Square (the area in front of the museum) to begin, and several years ago we took a ride on one of the restored trains. It's a little gem of a railroad museum in one of the old historic railroad towns that dates to the intercontinental railroad (1869). The museum resides in an old historic train station, not the original, but turn of the 20th century. The train ride and the museum are a great family outing. Kids, big and small, will especially love the train ride.”

“Awesome museum of Air Force History. We visited with our grandchildren ages 10 and seven They had an amazing time looking at the exhibits, climbing in the space shuttle, being in the airplanes The museum guides were excellent , knowledgeable , X military. The museum is just a wonderful tribute to all the military personnel and families that have lived in this area Highly recommend a visit. You will need approximately two hours to visit the museum. they have a very well organized good priced museum store with great military merchandise- model planes, patches, etc.”

Address: Flower Fields Way, Carlsbad, CA 92010, USA
“It was beautiful when we went, unfortunately we went "too early" so most of the fields were not blooming yet and a lot of construction and planting going on so the views of a few fields were amazing but we did not get the full experience and were told to come more at the end of april and may for all of the blooms. I feel a little taken as we were still charged full price for entrance and the tractor ride even tho they knew we were not getting all the flower fields had to offer yet and no one was there when we went with our little ones. It was a colder day so thought after the fact that we could have been offered a discount, at least for our 3 year old. It is very pricey for what we saw. If you are going to go, Im sure it is probably worth the money to go towards the later dates. I am not sure we will spend the money to test that theory tho. It is cool to see in person, and the views of the ocean are incredible from it, but like other reviewers stated, you can see overview of fields and ocean better from the street adjacent to it. My toddler loved the tractor ride tho and we love being outside so still have to say I like it.”

“My kids enjoyed our field trip here! This is the second time we've gone, and they accept donations which makes this a relatively inexpensive field trip, which is nice. The couple who runs the field trips is kind, although the woman seemed rather forgetful and would sometimes repeat stuff. Parts of it were really boring for kids, and I feel like they could give less information with more interactive games or conversations. But the time in the train area was wonderful and the kids loved being able to do the trains themselves. They were so patient to make sure each child got a turn. They did this early into the field trip, which was good, as last time the kids didn't care by the time they got to the trains, when the order was reversed. The kids also liked playing musical chairs and loved being given ice cream! Clean, beautiful, wonderful look into history and so close to the mission, to also check out. Overall, for what we paid, it was much more than worth it. Are very thankful.”

“This is a nice historic mansion located within an apartment community. Nobody specifically looking for it will find it ever. However for people living in the community its a sight. You get to live around a 1800's mansion. Nice setup for some pictures on a bright day!! Edit (Nov 2018): As this is privately owned, it is now up for sale for less than $3M. ????”

“How wonderful of a museum. So much history and interesting items and stories packed into one building. If you ever wanted to know about the SeaBees and their history, this would be the place. And the building is clean and well taken care of. All displays are well notated, and staff are available for any questions. I really enjoyed my experience there.”
