Highlights

The National WWII Museum - 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.

Great history of WW II and the "Greatest Generation" - Not much more to say about this outstanding museum that hasn't already been said, but it's definitely a "must see" if you are in New Orleans. You could easily spend more than a day here, but since most people only go for one day, I advise seeing the "Road to Tokyo" and "Road to Berlin" exhibits, plus the Liberation Pavilion if you have time. There is a 45-minute movie narrated by Tom Hanks that a lot of people (including myself) see (it costs extra), but honestly I could have skipped it; I didn't find it that interesting and would have preferred to use the time on other exhibits. Get there early and plan to spend the entire day if you can. Warning: Bring some food, water, and snacks, because the onsite restaurants usually have long wait lines (it was 45 minutes when I was there on a weekday.)
