Questions & answers

Q:
can I store a backpack
A:
There aren’t any storage lockers available. I would leave it in the car. You do have to go through a security check point also. Everything you carry in will have to be searched.
Q:

For the most part, yes. A few displays may be "boring" for small children. There is a separate display area designed for children. Best to avoid the area concerning 9-11. A few photos may be too intense but this is a small section. Lastly, most people of all ages love the reproduction of the oval office of the President.
Q:
Hotels nearby?
A:
There are many to choice from. La Quinta, Hilton, and Marriott properties. Some very new. Central Expressway south from Northwest Highway to Mockingbird Lane.
