Itinerary
Head inside The National WWII Museum with your general admission ticket and start exploring the captivating exhibition space at leisure. The Museum tells the story of the American Experience in the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. Guaranteed to move and educate, The National WWII Museum features interactive exhibits, soaring aircraft, personal histories, and more. The heart of the Museum experience, Campaigns of Courage: European and Pacific Theaters brings visitors inside the story of how the war was won. Two immersive exhibitions—Road to Berlin: European Theater Galleries and Road to Tokyo: Pacific Theater Galleries—feature environmental exhibits that guide visitors chronologically through the narrative of each theater of combat, using a sophisticated mix of set design, narrated and environmental videos, period newsreels, interactive oral-history kiosks, personal and digital artifacts, and dynamic displays for a uniquely evocative experience. How long you spend inside the museum is up to you! If you are hungry or simply want a break from exploring the exhibits, visit the on-site American Sector Restaurant + Bar and take a step back in time in BB’s Stage Door Canteen, a 1940s-style entertainment venue that showcases the music and performers of the war years. Food and drinks are at your own expense.

You need at least 3.5 hours if you want to take a proper look around, and if you're like me and like to read everything, you could easily spend 5 hours here. I had 3 hours and had to rush like crazy because I was too slow at the beginning. Overall a very comprehensive museum. I think kids and families would enjoy this even if you're not that interested in WWII because it has lots of videos and fairly interactive stuff!
It was very informative and well thought out. I really enjoyed all of the films and the artifacts Was very easy to get around and the people working there were very nice. The museum was very clean as were the restrooms
This museum was interactive and amazing. There is so much to see and so much to do. If you plan to visit this museum set a good chunk of time aside so that you don’t feel rushed and so that you can enjoy all that this museum has to offer. The admission fee was a little steep but once you see the exhibits you will understand why. I would highly recommend this experience. They do offer discounts for veterans, veteran spouses, kids and seniors.
You could easily spend two days here. I didn't realize it was multiple buildings. I wish we'd arrived earlier. I feel five o'clock was much too early.
This museum is so awesome that it is difficult to describe. First off - plan on spending two days here. The size and vastness of displays and information can be quite overwhelming. You really need to take the time to absorb it all. This is such an important part of history for so many nations - not just the USA. There are volunteers everywhere. It is easy to get lost in there. They will direct to the next exhibit and/or buildings. There are now 7 buildings that make up this complex.
The museum is an amazing experience. The history is presented in such a beautiful way. I love history and you could spend the entire day and not want to leave. It truly should be experienced over at least two days to fully take in everything. I can’t wait to return. Also, the staff and volunteers are so knowledgeable and helpful.
I’m not a history buff, but I loved this museum. My 16yo son requested we visit while in NOLA and it was the perfect rainy day activity. The entire family enjoyed the experience.
It's definitely worth seeing
Superb museum! Easily spend the entire day.
What a wonderful museum. Everything so well laid out and displayed to tell, in graphic detail, the hard to hear story of the second world war and o those taking part. I could have spent a day here but only had a half day. The Tom Hanks film was excellent and is a MUST to see!
