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.

Don't Miss This Attraction
This is a must-see. The museum is beautifully constructed, with tons of artifacts in each exhibit and videos and audio descriptions. The 4D Beyond All Boundaries theater is a necessary addition to your admission ticket.
A must-see
Superb. I would rate this museum up there with the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. The main exhibits are the Road to Tokyo and the Road to Berlin, and each one is done in an immersive fashion, placing you into the scenery of the respective battles, with lots of information. Smaller exhibits include one about the Merchant Marine and one about aviation. They sell a two day pass, which tells you how much there is to do, but we were fine with one day. A must-see if you are in NOLA.
So educational!
The Museum was incredible. We learned so much about all aspects of the war and the events that led to the war. It was a lot to take in. A guide would be helpful as well as breaking it into two days.
An obligatory if here
Incredibly good museum that is lavish and takes visitors through World War II but excludes the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (for unknown reasons)
Awesome
Plan for several hours and even more than a day. There is a lot of content to see and we ran out of time.
