Weekend visits (excluding living history even weekends) require those without a military/retiree/dependent ID (and there guests) to pre-schedule their visit by contacting the museum on a weekday at txmilmuseum@gmail.com so that we can collect information necessary to have all adults 18 and older pre-vetted in order to have your names placed on a list for weekend entry.
All adults must show a photo I.D. (driver’s license, state-issued ID, US passport, military/military retiree or dependent ID, etc.) to enter Camp Mabry. At this time Foreign visitors are not permitted on Camp Mabry. Camp Mabry regulations require motorcycle riders to wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and a motorcycle helmet.
