Ride an M24 Chaffee Tank in Hudson, MA

It was a really wonderful museum. Very immersive and I loved all the planes, tanks and military vehicles. It’s amazing being so close to something so large and intense. Really unbelievable. I just want to say though…some of the volunteers were a little too intense for us. Just a heads up. I’m not sure if it was an isolated thing or if that’s the norm. I went with my mother and 2 kids(14yrs old and 11yrs old). The moment we walked down the stairs to check out the museum after the shows were done there was an older gentleman who talked to us for about 20min. He went straight to us right when we stepped into the museum. We were ok with that at first, but then he followed us and wanted to chat some more. I had to say “ok, well we are going to explore some more” and pull ourselves away from him. I understand the volunteers are super passionate about history but it really bothered us. We kind of just wanted to walk around on our own and read the signs infront of the stuff, like a normal museum. But it felt like we were constantly interrupted. I don’t mind hearing about some facts and stuff, but it got to be a little much with the stories. After we watched a video of the holocaust another man asked if we wanted to do the VR experience. I said no thank you because I get nauseous with VR stuff and he kept insisting. I had to say no thank you several times, so didn’t my mother. We ended up leaving after that because we honestly felt like we were being followed around. I gave 5 stars because its a really lovely museum, with amazing things to look at, but just like any museum I would like to walk around leisurely and read what’s on the plaques infront of the item. It wasn’t just myself who felt this way, my kids and mother felt overwhelmed by it also. We will probably be back, but my husband will come with us next time.
