Modern, new visitor center that gives you a taste of the cadet's life. Can't wait for the museum to be opened again though.
An amazing intro to one of the most elite colleges in the Country. A must see for any patriot.
Where you get bus tours or asks information, they accept cash only! They instruct you where the atm is. Clean restroom, spacious lobby, beautiful vista on hudson lake. See images for reference.
Definitely, a place to visit. While it is the United States Military Academy, it is full of history and a very scenic place sitting above the. Hudson River.
The museum is free, and you can walk around, but they do offer a bus tour.
Loved the Visitor's Center. I came after booking a bus tour. While waiting for the tour to start, I started walking through the visitor's center but only got a few rooms in and I had noticed 30 minutes had flown by. I returned later after the tour and finished the visitor's center, which took me about an hour to complete.
The visitor's center has a ton of modern and interesting exhibits about West Point, its history and the academy's 4-year curriculum, which I found very interesting. I was thrilled to learn of what the cadets go through, from their first day through graduation. There are a few interactive exhibits including two movie rooms.
I also found out that the visitor's center and neighboring museum are both completely free! You do not need to book any tour or obtain a pass to visit these buildings.
Currently, masks are required in both buildings at all time.
I highly recommend the visitor's center, museum and bus tour ($18 ish) to everyone of all ages.
