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.

Terrific Museum. Very interactive and informative. Was able to cover the ten years before, during and after the War with tremendous clarity and depth. Took the $15 second day option as there wasn't enough time to cover the whole museum in one day. Saw the excellent interactive movies the second day; well worth the cost.

A must see! The chronological flow of the museum and the exhibits/videos are done perfectly to walk you through all parts of the war.

We are so happy we decided to take this WWII tour. The video shorts throughout each segmented area were very informative. It was interesting to see the relics from the various countries that participated in the war. My only regret is that we arrived only 1.5 hours before closing, and I wish I had at least 4 hours or more to soak it all in.
