Darnell JonesJune 17, 2019There was so much to see, hear and read about! I have got to go back and spend more time there!
SJ SimonMay 27, 2021Definitely make sure to have 2.5 hours (if you're going to read all the displays) - more if you plan to watch the film.
Jason McKinneyDecember 17, 2017If you only have 2 hours, make more time.. This is a multi-day museum. I experienced it for almost 6 hours and barely got through about a third.
Adrian PhillipsMay 14, 2015If you're at all interested in history, this is a comprehensive look at World War 2 from the perspective of the United States. Extremely detailed exhibit, give yourself 3 hours to consume it all.
Gaby ChinchillaApril 6, 2018Very nice museum! Must visit. Dont miss “beyond all boundries documental”.
Nathan LaPlaineJune 8, 2013The museum itself is so worth your time. The displays are really nice, good well rounded experience. The staff is super nice, let us store our luggage so we could head to the airport when done.
Andrew CJuly 11, 2018Very extensive museum investigating the US involvement to this global war... awesome to see exhibits on both European and Pacific wars, with strong focus on how it impacted life in American homes
Jonathan BlundellNovember 16, 2012An amazing museum full of interactive pieces telling the story from an historical and personal perspective. The movie, Beyond all Boundaries, was definitely worth it.
Delores PearsonAugust 6, 20154D Movie was great, my daughter loved that she could check the status of military personnel chosen with the tags in the beginning of her visit.
ThomasNovember 22, 2013The "Final Mission" is IMHO a waste of time. It runs by itself, the room is too spacious to convey the confined space of a submarine and all you have to do, is watching a computer movie on the ceiling
Heidi Votaw-AmblerJune 10, 2014Others have mentioned this as well but definitely recommend seeing Beyond All Boundaries before the actual museum. Definitely worth the visit.
Charles SpittleFebruary 26, 2018I could have spent a week here. It was informative and reading about all the artifacts was time consuming as it was we spent 8 hours over two days and could have spent many more.
Andrew GattoSeptember 29, 2015The movie was one of the greatest theatre experiences a person can have. Worth every cent of the money.
Rebecca MMarch 21, 2019Worth visiting just for the D-Day exhibit. More than just a display of artillery and unabashed patriotism.
Suzanne Lea F.July 15, 2013Make sure you wear comfortable shoes. There is a lot of different ways to get the information. Movies, reading, pictures, artifacts!
Patricia SteckleinJune 24, 2019Wonderful exhibits and movies. It is a FULL day to see the entire museum and the movies. Enjoyed It all and learned so much.
John PJuly 12, 2012Tickets were a little pricey for the museum. I thought the ticket for the movie was well worth it. The displays are more from personal perspectives and they make it more immersive. Thank you Vets!
michelleJuly 8, 2017Lotsa stuff to watch and read . however the route to each section is not too clear, as though u are in a maze.
Sarah MonsonJune 4, 2016We had a great time here, very informative, interesting, and immersive. The 4D film was great!
Vincent ChesneyFebruary 19, 2023Originally the D-Day Museum as this is where the Higgins amphibious landing boats were built.
Sharon BSeptember 29, 2017The multimedia provided a great way to get the history. The personal stories added another element. The movie was amazing.
Debbie smithOctober 7, 2015The new Berlin exhibit is worth your time, go visit again if its been a while since you've visited!
Jeremy ThomasAugust 30, 2014Amazing collection and powerful film. Easily spend a day here seeing some pretty amazing stuff. Expect to read.
DenetteSeptember 28, 2015You'll need a good day to explore all the facets of this museum! You may need a tissue just in case.
Daniela DBSeptember 28, 2014Amazing a must do! It will take at least half of your day... Totally worth it. Watch the movie!
Arjun ModakSeptember 16, 2016Absolute must visit place. The documentary is one of the best experiences I have been through.
Mandy AllmanJuly 6, 2018I loved that they give you a virtual person to follow that lived during that time, made it more personal!
Jennifer GallardoJanuary 7, 2017The exhibits are tastefully done and the movie "Beyond Boundaries" was entertaining and informative.
Jason LauApril 22, 2016Phenomenal museum. Plan to spend 4-6 hours. Buy your tickets online to save time.- Susan DeCanioSeptember 13, 2016Allow plenty of time to explore the exhibits as well as films--could easily spend all day
Ana PratoNovember 28, 2014No audio-guides available. All information is in English. It's a pitty because a lot of tourists from from around the world come to this museum
Mohith MarattApril 21, 2018The best war museum I have been to! Wish the Red Army got their deserved recognition.
ChrisSeptember 28, 2016Great museum. See the movie and give yourself plenty of time to go through the exhibits.
VoniaAugust 24, 2014Great museum, two buildings & theaters... "Beyond All Boundaries" was impressive... Ingenious use of technological resources!!!!!....
Benn EganDecember 20, 2015Sweet tap-dancing Christ there is a lot to digest. 2 hours? A joke. This place will consume your whole day. The newer exhibits are like Disneyland for WWII. Learn about Corregidor in a jungle.
Kimberly H.May 29, 2014Plan to spend a good part of the day here :). And if you see a veteran, be sure to thank them for their service to our country!
Oscar AparicioJanuary 5, 2016I could have spent a whole day here and not seen the same exhibit twice. One of the best museums out there!
Lydia LoweSeptember 13, 2016It's a great experience. Just don't try to do it all in one day. Definitely worth a second trip
Zahra MohammadiFebruary 21, 2017Get the second day pass, to extend your visit or hand it over to your friends
- Adrienne HerrmannJuly 14, 2017I took my kids ages, 11 and 13. It was great for them, you can easily spend 4 hours there!
- Nick PalermoAugust 23, 2013The American Sector restaurant is unbelievably good. Much better than I expected. Don't miss it!
Nathan SharrattMarch 11, 2013Make sure to get a clear explanation of what's open and what's not during construction. They told us the new building had large artifact like tanks, but we couldn't find the entrance.
Wael HazzaziDecember 24, 2017Super informative, might need a couple of days to cover the whole museum
Ed KaiserFebruary 29, 2016Excellent Tom Hanks narrative in the movie which you must see. Almost need two days to see the whole thing.
