Online Reviews Summary

Seneca Army Field (US-12628) in Romulus, US, is not a commercial airport, but rather the former Seneca Army Depot, a military munitions storage and disposal facility that officially closed in 2000. As such, there are no traditional traveler reviews concerning airport facilities, security wait times, or customs/immigration. Public access to the former depot is primarily through Deer Haven Park, which offers tours focused on the area's military history and its unique population of white deer. Traveler sentiment largely pertains to these guided experiences and the opportunity to explore a historic, previously restricted area.

What Travelers Love

Unique Wildlife and History: Visitors are captivated by the opportunity to see the world's largest herd of Seneca White Deer and learn about the depot's significant role in US military history.
Informative Tours: Deer Haven Park offers both App-Guided Auto Tours and Majesty & Mystery Bus Tours, providing a comprehensive narrative of the site's past and guiding visitors through the sprawling grounds.
Visitor Center and Museum: The Deer Haven Park Visitor Center includes a mini-museum with souvenirs and historical relics, offering deeper insights into the Seneca Army Depot.
Expansive and Untouched Landscape: The sheer size of the former depot and its relatively preserved nature, dotted with hundreds of munitions storage igloos, provides a unique and intriguing environment for exploration.

Common Complaints

Limited Public Access: Much of the former depot remains private property and is closed to the public, with tours concentrating on specific accessible areas.
Absence of Traditional Airport Services: As it is not an active commercial airfield, travelers seeking typical airport amenities or services will find none.

Overall, visitors to the former Seneca Army Depot, primarily via Deer Haven Park, express high satisfaction with the historical tours and the chance to witness the unique white deer herd. The experience is highly recommended for those interested in military history, wildlife, and exploring a distinctive and preserved landscape.
