The museum isn’t air conditioned so on a hot day you may be uncomfortable. The overall flow and items to see were very good. We only visited a few museums in the area; however, this was the most thorough

I thought that I purchased the audio service but was told I didn't and had to pay for it. No worries.
Absolutely amazing place, really captures the uncertainties of the twentieth century through a European lens! It sets the tone for understanding events in Europe during the first quarter of the twenty first century. An absolute must visit!

This is a very exciting museum for all ages! Especially the 360-degree films and representations have made it much easier to immerse yourself in time! Great!!

Allow enough time to see it all. There was more to see and we ran out of time. You should allow at least 3 if not four hours.
Good afternoon, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We find this feedback to be really insightful and should be of great assistance to our future guests. We truly hope that your positive experience will bring you back to us on your next adventure. Whether you're planning a return to Caen or exploring a new city, we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you again. Until then, take care! Warm regards, VoxCity
The Memorial Museum in Caen is a great and moving experience. However, this vendor is not offering a tour; rather, they are purchasing the tickets as a middleman. It makes a lot more sense to buy the tickets directly from the museum website. Save yourselves several dollars per ticket.

We truly appreciate your feedback and will do our best to improve based on the points you’ve shared. Regards, VoxCity
Museum was extraordinary but the audio tour is complete crap! I spent hrs trying to download the tour then spend couple hrs online with the SUB vendor and had to download an entire new APP which then had the wrong tours on it. The. They just could not connect this tour and said check back- too late - we lost the entire tour!!

Many thanks, VoxCity
We visited the Caen Memorial Museum with the ticket that includes the D-Day audio tour, and it was really interesting! The whole family loved it—it’s informative and easy to understand. The app is easy to use, and the audio guide makes the visit even more engaging.
