I walk by and saw the building, return the next day with enough time to spare, arrived 11am. Make sure you have about 4 hrs to visit and before it closes. I learn a lot about the minorities that serve in the Army during WWII, Their collection of items is rich and valuable. The navigation can be complicated within the building but the museum volunteers are eager to help. Cost is affordable. Never forget history, cause it may return. Highly recommended.

Everyone we spoke to before coming to New Orleans recommended this museum, we are glad we came. There was so much detail put into everything including the architecture of the building, the exhibits, the interactive displays, and the historic accounts from soldiers. Make sure to come early if you plan on trying to see everything because it’s a lot, I imagine it would take days if you wanted to read all the stories and see every artifact.

Museum has very high production value - the themed exhibits make you feel like you were really there. The museum has great informative exhibits and is a great way to spend most of a day (its huge). Could be a little more linear (it felt like we jumped around a lot between time periods during our visit; it would be nice if you followed a more linear timeline during the visit).

Amazing museum. Walks you through chronological order of events of the War divided by the Pacific and European conflicts. Overwhelming amount of information displayed in the perfect way. Only had about 3 hours. I got through the Pacific and had to speed through the European. Would recommend a whole day with lunch and the 4D movie in between the 2 conflicts. I did not make it to the Boeing hall but that would not take to long
Excellent job!! I will return to see the rest.

My husband is a WW2 buff, and we knew as soon as we saw this museum on Things to do in NOLA, we'd be going. All the exhibits are AMAZING. The people who put this place together are truly brilliant. If I can give you ANY advice, it'd be to SEE the 4D movie called Beyond All Boundaries. We go to a ton of museums and this is above and by far the best movie we've ever seen in a museum. Absolutely worth the money!! The volunteers were all wonderful and helpful as well!

Worth the visit. Got to learn so much about the war. The video exhibits, the set up, the detailing there is just too much to see and learn. Very in depth. You would need a complete day to spend here and learn about, read the letters, old documentation, learn about the outcome, the videos of leaders. Very inspirational. Definitely coming back!

I don't know where to even start!! This museum exceeds all expectations!! If you have a veteran in your family or are one yourself it is a must see place!! Every aspect is well done! Follow a story of a soldier. Start by boarding a train... the Pacific theater was amazing, the airplanes on display are amazing, D-day was amazing... the list is endless! You will easily spend 3 hours here so be prepared!!

Do not miss this museum! But make sure you give yourself 5+ hours or better yet multiple days. This museum is huge and jam packed with information, very easy to get overwhelmed. This being a newer built museum it was very high tech and they put out all the stops to impress!

Be prepared to spend a lot of time here, and it is worth every minute. The displays are often interactive, downloadable using a card they give you, and sometimes even overwhelming. Parking is something they do not really cover, it is downtown, we paid to park close, had to scan a QR code, pick the amount of hours we needed without knowing the rate, were then alerted that if you go over the car will be booted, 24.00 for 4 hours. After paying 40.00 per museum ticket, you make choices based on convenience. We ate at the restaurant/bar located in the American section and the menu offered amazing choices and the food was outstanding.

The National WWII Museum is a poignant journey through history. I was immersed in the courage and sacrifice of those who served. The exhibits are incredibly detailed and moving. A day I spent here was the best day of my trip so far.

Tip: Plan a full day to explore everything. The parking garage nearby is convenient. Fun fact: It started as a D-Day Museum in 2000 and has grown into a world-class institution honoring all aspects of WWII. An emotional and educational experience not to be missed. 🇺🇸🌟

Truthfully speaking I wasn't quite satisfied with the experience and I reckon I could have found a better way to spend the $32.5 entry fee. There is a good selection of small arms but only six or seven aircraft and one piece of heavy armour on display and that's if you look hard enough. The guides aren't superbly knowledgeable and contrary to what they tell you at the entrance the whole thing can be seen in an hour or two unless you're a red blooded American or interested in American propaganda.
There are a lot of films and videos going on but not a lot of substance unfortunately. I did enjoy the excellent air conditioning and the southern hospitality though.

I can't believe how much there is to do here. You will easily spend the majority of your day here. Plan for several hours. There are 4 major buildings to go through, and each will take well over an hour to see. You probably could spend multiple days here if you are interested in the history. Very interactive and one of the highest quality museums I've been to.

Oh my goodness!! This was the best museum I have experienced in a while, and I mean EXPERIENCED! This is definitely a day to remember, block out the entire day and experience this exhibit. You will thank me later! I will be back because I didn't block a chunk. They do offer a come back to finish ticket for $12 within 7 days of your original ticket. I had to do that but I still don't think I saw everything. This place is massive and chock full of memorabilia and information. I can not stress enough TAKE YOUR TIME and enjoy!

Really, really great museum!!! The price of admission is steep, but it is definitely worth it!!! If you are a history buff and want to see everything, then plan on the two days. Also, the 4D theater is definitely worth the $7. I am excited to finish my tour and hopefully come back some day!!! Wonderful museum!!!
