Relive the World's Largest Military Conflict - Military history can be fascinating, and no military conflict is greater and more deserving of our attention and education than World War II. Tourists can learn all about this conflict, and America’s involvement in the war, at the National World War 2 Museum, located in New Orleans’ Central Business District. I went to the National WWII Museum on a Saturday while in New Orleans and it was easily one of the top museums I have ever visited. Your journey begins with a visit to a makeshift train where you are introduced to a person who fought in the war. As you tour the museum, you are given countless opportunities to learn more about the individual you are introduced to on the train, using your dog tag ID. The personal interaction described above is one of many memorable aspects of the National WWII Museum, but it is far from the only one. This world- class museum offers videos for viewing and engaging exhibits that introduce you and/or refresh your memory on the most important personalities in the war, both on the enemy side and the allied side. The museum takes you from Europe to Japan and beyond, walking you through the past from the German invasion of Poland and the early days of the war, all the way to Hitler’s suicide and the termination of the world’s largest and deadliest conflict. The National WWII Museum is a large museum, and you can easily spend several hours here and still not take in all the exhibits and educational material. You need to set aside a large amount of time to visit and soak up all the history and knowledge. History buffs will enjoy it the most, but even those with just a small interest in history will like what they see, hear, and learn. It will be an emotional visit for some, especially those who have a friend or family member who fought in the war. I like visiting museums. The National WWII Museum is one of the very best, and a visit is a must the next time you’re in New Orleans. As I walked through the museum, there were a few points where I was a little unsure if I was going to the correct place, if I skipped an exhibit, if I was following things the correct way so as not to miss anything, etc. A little more certainty in the layout and pathway to follow would be good, but that is about the only issue I had with the National WWII Museum. It’s an excellent history refresher and easily worth taking the time to visit.

WWII Museum - This Museum is one of the best Museums I have ever been to. 7 buildings with multiple floors in each, there is SO much information and things to see. You definitely need at least a full day to see everything. Highly recommend!

A must visit for history buffs - The National WWII Museum is a must-visit for history buffs and families alike. With comprehensive and detailed exhibits, visitors can fully immerse themselves in the events of World War II. The layout is simple and easy to navigate, making it accessible for all ages. Whether you're looking to learn more about this pivotal moment in history or simply enjoy a day out with your loved ones, this museum is a fantastic choice.

A cautionary tale of history that is beautifully curated - Wonderful museum that takes you through the entire war. The trials and the tribulations. Bring good walking shoes and be prepared for a lot of people. The main criticism is that the handout map is not very good but there are volunteers to help guide the way if you get lost. Everyone should have to go through this museum to understand the mistakes of the past that are mirrored in our present

Unbelievable Experience - This is truly a comprehensive experience about WW 2. The Tour information estimated a 2-3 hour visit. It is self directed. There are 7 areas discussing different aspects of the War. It was so engrossing that we were there 5 hours!! The memorabilia and news videos were beautifully done. I am not a "history buff" or a big museum person, but I say that this is probably one of the best tours we have been on. Very reasonably priced. We highly recommend this tour!

A must see - plan on spending the day! - Expected to see over s few hours. We spent the day. It was great. I have never been a war buff and I haven’t enjoyed war movies but this was fascinating. Short informative film clips were interesting and made the museum even more enjoyable. I learned so much!

AMAZING!!! - Can't really add much more than other reviews, but my family, which includes my teen who has a strong interest in WWII, thoroughly enjoyed everything about the museum. The interactive exhibits, artifacts, film/video/audio segments, the Beyond Boundaries movie, personal stories, etc. made this an unforgettable experience. As others have mentioned, we really should have planned for two days. While we made it through all the exhibits in the 7.5 hrs we were there, we didn't view every video or read every placard. The individual stories truly made history come alive.

A Museum Not To Be Missed. - The World War II Museum was fantastic. Each portion of the Museum told a part of the story. Between the movie reels and the exhibits there was a lot of information to take in. We got there at 10am and didn't leave until 4pm. Unfortunately, that was the only time we had. I would have loved to spend another day there, but we didn't have the time. Definitely worthwhile. Don't miss it. My husband, who does not usually love museums, loved it.

Very well done - Great museum. So much information. A little difficult to maneuver between areas. Only negative is parking. We had a van and were able to park in regular lot. I don't know where RVs park.

Improved museum map - The museum was HUGE and confusing. Very informative and I loved all the history it offered but there needs to be a better map guiding you through the museum.
