Hannah AlkadiMay 22, 2017It's a lot bigger than you think! Puts a lot of elaborate detail into the Asian front.
Kurtis SherrySeptember 29, 2018Watch Beyond all Boundaries. It’s 100% worth the extra few dollars it costs
Jesi ErnestNovember 12, 2013Amazing experience! Make sure you see Beyond all Boundaries....very emotional!
Liz ParrottApril 16, 2013I cant wait to see the new building next year - the new POW exhibit was enlightening
Jim CabralAugust 9, 2014Beyond All Boundaries is a must see. Skip the Final Mission - it is short and not really interactive.
Hotel IndigoAugust 19, 2013Be sure to see “Beyond All Boundaries,” a 4-D multimedia production narrated by Tom Hanks.
Jonathan BlundellNovember 16, 2012Easily spent 3 hours in the museum and another hour with the Beyond all Boundaries movie. Plan accordingly.
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.
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.
Matthew SupertMarch 28, 2015Head to the Boeing Building to get your tickets. There are hardly any lines there.
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.
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.
Tundra HoweOctober 29, 2011Make sure you see Beyond All Boundaries, the 4D doco produced by Tom Hanks. Graphic and confronting, but very moving.
Linda MiklowitzApril 29, 2013John Besh's American Sector restaurant open until 9 pm. Separate entrance on Higgins.
Shannon LMarch 17, 2012The exhibits are so immersive that the time will fly by. Plan to spend at least 3 hours here.
- Linda MiklowitzDecember 31, 2012Check out the three-part harmony of the women singers in Stage Door Canteen.
Richard BurlJanuary 20, 2010Go there and explore EVERY exhibit in the building. It will take you back to D-Day as if you were there already. You'll be glad you're an American.
Don't forget the special exhibit called Infamy. It's so informative.
Laura HOctober 3, 2010Make sure to really check out the propoganda displays in the Pacific section. Incredibly fascinating!

"Costs $10 admission. Beautiful cypress wood architecture and cases. Lots of really neat artifacts, however most of the cases were hard to read due to some sort of distortion in the glass."
