Visit the Higgins Armory Museum and learn how knights got dressed in the morning - you may even get "suited up" yourself! The Museum brings the world of knights to life through a variety of programs including inspiring and educational Field Trips, unique Group Tours, Birthday Parties, Rentals, Outreaches and Overknights.
Wander beneath Gothic arches, listen to the sounds of contest and celbration, and stand face to face with over 70 suits of armor - the heroic legacies of another world and time. The Museum also hosts an annual Higgins Faire.

The very cool building sets the mood for an adventure into the world of knights and castles. The museum is wonderfully decorated throughout and has a one of a kind collection of armour spanning a full time line across the centuries and including extremely rare pieces and loans from distinguished galleries around the world. There is also a large section for children to play and try on armor and a large demonstration area with events throughout the day.  4

this place has to be one of a kind - the armory is a way to see the everyday peril and hardship of Camelot as well as the romance - children are able to dress in costume and there are maille and armor demonstrations throughout the day. A must-see.  4
