Spectacular museum - my favorite building was the one with the pacific and European theater exhibits
Jia O.May 24, 2016
The museum is really well done, wish we had more time there
Jennifer WorleyJune 12, 2016
The museum staff stopped my 10 year old son twice to teach him about dog tags and about a ship. We all learned something from this trip!

Beyond all Boundaries, the Tom Hanks 4D multi-sensory film, has actual war footage. Some of which is graphic. View discretion is advised. Fourth grade school age and up are usually fine.
Sandy WinnNovember 9, 2018
It is all good. We have been twice and still have things to see.
KayleeAugust 19, 2015
Get there early its so much bigger than it looks from the outside. 2 buildings!
Kurtis SherrySeptember 29, 2018
Watch Beyond all Boundaries. It’s 100% worth the extra few dollars it costs
Kelly SelbyOctober 22, 2016
No one should miss the 4D movie even if you are not a history buff, it was EXCELLENT!

Plan on getting to the museum at 9 am when it opens. It will take you from 3 to 5 hours to walk through the exhibits. Also get your tickets to Beyond All Boundaries when you get your museum tickets.
Brian BaylessJanuary 26, 2015
Make sure to get here early to be able to see it all and see beyond all boundaries

For Being BrandNew TheSubm Simulator Was A Joke...They Shouldn't Call It A Simulator. Maybe a room with vibrating floor, "beyond all borders"show awesome☆☆☆☆☆ All vehicles are in running condition
Laur Lo SkiJuly 20, 2018
Phenomenal museum really. Don’t recommend eating in their little cafe as it’s expensive and just kind of meh. And I hate how you have to go between buildings but it is a cool museum. VERY expensive.

Stop by The American Sector and get a milkshake. The Bananas Foster shake is excellent
Allen DuheMay 14, 2013
Definitely see the movie, Beyond All Boundaries. Excellently done and worth the extra admission
Derek ClarkMarch 13, 2018
This is an all day museum. Well laid out and interesting subjects.
HenryNovember 9, 2014
Do not miss the D-Day permanent exhibition, to understand the last days of WWII.
Tamra CroninNovember 30, 2014
A must visit! But plan for a whole day because a lot of one of a kind exhibits

If you want to see Beyond All Boundaries (I highly recommend seeing it) on a Saturday or holiday, get your tickets as soon as you get to the museum. Shows are on the hour-every hour.
Kaira RoudaNovember 5, 2010
A great museum, and not a far walk from the convention hotels. Worth a trip. Be sure to go to the Confederate Museum across the street, too.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleMarch 29, 2012
Seek out Higgins boat, which was designed and built in New Orleans. You’ll learn why the shallow-draft 36-passenger transport got credit from General Eisenhower for winning the war! -Travel Editor
Clare LynchFebruary 10, 2016
Well done museum. There's a lot to cover, so plan to spend several hours or return for a second day visit
Arun NandiAugust 31, 2014
If you're a world war buff or a museum enthusiast, budget the better part of a day for this.
Kelly RoseApril 16, 2015
Beautiful! The Boeing building would be great for a party!
Christy McFerrenMay 17, 2012
You haven't done this museum unless you experience the 4D film. Amazing work, a once in a lifetime experience.
Harry RaymondFebruary 10, 2016
Set aside at least 4 hours for a visit. This place is huge!
Jesi ErnestNovember 12, 2013
Amazing experience! Make sure you see Beyond all Boundaries....very emotional!
Adam GordonJuly 28, 2018
Incredible museum. It’s worth visiting when in New Orleans.
Amod JoshiNovember 9, 2014
A must visit if you are in New Orleans and are a history geek.

Purchase the combo it is worth every dollar. The Victory Theater is really nice. Also make sure to stop by the gift store for a souvenir.
Melanie TurnerDecember 5, 2014
A must for any visit to the city. Breath-taking. Fascinating. Brilliant.
Andy GarciaSeptember 2, 2013
Almost missed visiting this place. Had a great time. My kids loved it as well
Wayne AndermanApril 9, 2016
A true homage to those who served then and preserved it all as we know it now. X
Arturo ImazMay 24, 2017
Make sure you arrive early and with someone who likes history
Jim CabralAugust 9, 2014
Beyond All Boundaries is a must see. Skip the Final Mission - it is short and not really interactive.
David AMay 19, 2017
Leave at least 2 hours to see the entire exhibit. First class museum.
Jennifer WeiJanuary 5, 2018
Well designed museum! Watch the 4D Beyond All Boundaries movie!
Hannah AlkadiMay 22, 2017
It's a lot bigger than you think! Puts a lot of elaborate detail into the Asian front.
Michael SampietroNovember 24, 2015
The "beyond all boundaries" movie is fantastic.
Alex MecumJune 10, 2016
The museum is great, but the line to get in obscenely slow. They need to allow people to buy and show tickets on their phones.
Richard DragicevichSeptember 24, 2019
A lot there. Give yourself the whole day. Be sure to see the movie with Tom Hanks.
Anilton VasconcelosJuly 7, 2017
Lots of stuff to see... reserve the whole day! Excellent!
Amanda ThauApril 18, 2014
Long lines at the main ticket hall? They sell the same tickets for the same prices at the entrance of each building. Also plan to spend at least 4-5 hours here.
Wendy LinMarch 22, 2015
Really really great. Definitely spend about 1.5 to 2 hours in road to Berlin exhibit
Gabriel HayesFebruary 21, 2015
Awesome museum. Amazing curation.
Alberto SimonAugust 31, 2016
One of my favorite museums
Zach HedrickAugust 25, 2014
Make sure you don't miss the Boeing Pavilion!
Susan AllenJune 7, 2014
The movie and dinner theater were both great. If visiting plan them in to your trip.
Gene GearyOctober 26, 2014
Wonderful museum. Really enjoyed the Beyond the boundaries 4D movie
Morgan AlldredgeNovember 4, 2014
Buy the extra tickets. Worth it!
