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.
Designated by Congress as the official WWII museum of the United States, The National WWII Museum is located in downtown New Orleans on a six-acre campus, where five soaring pavilions house historical exhibits, on-site restoration work, a period dinner theater, and restaurants. Step inside with a general admission ticket, and then spend as long as you like exploring this must-visit attraction independently. Discover thousands of World War II memorabilia and artifacts, and learn all about wartime events from the museum's information displays.

Simply outstanding experience! We were here 9 years ago and back for the first time since then, and the place has expanded and grown tremendously, with new galleries and exhibits. If you are interested in all things WWII, this is a can't-miss museum!

It's a lot to do in one day. But very well worth it. Getting a early start helps. Very nice and helpful volunteers.
