Clarissa CApril 6, 2016Dog Tag Experience is a great part of the visit. Stop 1st @ the Union Pacific.
Liz ParrottApril 16, 2013I cant wait to see the new building next year - the new POW exhibit was enlightening
Michele PuccioJanuary 14, 2017Take the ticket with 4D film too. When you'll go home will not be the same.
Andrea HarbisonDecember 16, 2016Beyond all boundaries is an amazing film!! Watch before you tour the exhibits.
Shannon LMarch 17, 2012The exhibits are so immersive that the time will fly by. Plan to spend at least 3 hours here.
Linda MiklowitzApril 29, 2013John Besh's American Sector restaurant open until 9 pm. Separate entrance on Higgins.
Matthew SupertMarch 28, 2015Head to the Boeing Building to get your tickets. There are hardly any lines there.
Tundra HoweOctober 29, 2011Make sure you see Beyond All Boundaries, the 4D doco produced by Tom Hanks. Graphic and confronting, but very moving.
The Corner Store on Magazine & Andrew Higgins now sells tickets. Come to this shop for the shortest lines!
If you have trouble standing or walking, please bring a wheelchair. The museum has a limited number of complementary wheelchairs.
Hotel IndigoAugust 19, 2013Be sure to see “Beyond All Boundaries,” a 4-D multimedia production narrated by Tom Hanks.
Laura HOctober 3, 2010Make sure to really check out the propoganda displays in the Pacific section. Incredibly fascinating!
Kevin MettsJanuary 2, 2012They say it takes 2.5 hours to go through the museum. After 3.5 hours I still haven't reached the Pacific Theater. You can spend a whole day here.
Lindsay WillefordOctober 5, 2019The movie was great but the rest of the museum was hard to follow. Not a lot of exhibits. Overpriced tickets.
Jonathan BlundellNovember 16, 2012Easily spent 3 hours in the museum and another hour with the Beyond all Boundaries movie. Plan accordingly.
Nicole K.December 27, 2010Go across the street to the Victory Theater to buy tickets to museum/movie. The line will be much shorter than in the main museum entrance.
- Look out for the next buildings in the museum's expansion to go up soon. When all buildings are built, this will be one of the biggest in the country.
Don't forget the special exhibit called Infamy. It's so informative.
- Linda MiklowitzDecember 31, 2012Check out the three-part harmony of the women singers in Stage Door Canteen.
Christopher MongApril 11, 2011I wanted a clicker but the store attached to the museum was sold out. The store attached to the theater had them however.
Xavier HartAugust 30, 2011Everyone should go to this museum and spend at least one day... then go across the street and eat the American Sector, John Besh's restaurant.
