Never Forget - It is an excellent and sobering exhibit of our country's role in WW 2. The museum covers so much more than just Normandy and Pearl Harbor. Starting with the Tom Hanks narrated film and ending with a PT boat display, a break for lunch was needed to complete the visit.

A must see! - This is a must! One of the best attractions in New Orleans! Don’t skip the 4D movie. It helps tie everything together! It’s worth the $. Go early in the day so you have plenty of time to explore. I did not realize it closed at 5 PM so we were in a rush. The volunteers are very helpful. Plan to spend at least three hours if not more there.

A must see - This is a must see while in New Orleans. Whether you are a WWII buff, have WWII connections, or are interested in military or modern European history, you will not be disappointed in this museum. I first visited the museum in 2014 and the museum has expanded and included new and fascinating exhibits since then. The exhibits along with the 4D film tell the remarkable story of WWII and the American service personnel who gave of themselves for our country and for us. Please make it a mission to visit this place while in New Orleans.

Plan for all day - A lot of information. Clean. Somewhat difficult to navigate where to go next. Many areas have audio and visual displays that may be difficult for some.

My kids learned a lot- 4D movie is must see - We took my 3yr old and 6yr old daughters. Per a local recommendation, we got tickets for the 4D Beyond All Boundaries movie.
From what I saw there were very few children that young at the movie, which runs about 45min. I was pleasantly surprised how well both my kids stayed interested throughout the movie and remembered what occurred several days later (particularly the 6yr old). If you have children that young, I would recommend adding the 4D movie.
The museum can get fairly crowded, some spaces I think could have been made a little larger to help with flow.
My daughters' favorite part of the museum was a stand where they had items you could handle including helmets and non-functional grenades.
We did get chastised by some lady (not staff, just a visitor) for going through the Holocaust section with young kids, but both of them handled it very well and I would do it again without reservation.
I quizzed my 6yr old on WW2 history at the end of day and she got 7 of 12 right, which I am happy with. A couple days later and she still seems to be retaining it.
While the subject manner is not explicitly "kid friendly", my kids handled the whole museum very well and I would recommend to other parents.
