What To Expect

Journey through time to WWII — the war that changed the world — with a visit to New Orleans’ National WWII Museum. Make your way to the museum and skip the line with your entrance ticket. Upon entering the Louisiana Memorial Pavilion, explore its multiple exhibits featuring D-Day and Home Front histories and view an authentic C-47, or hop aboard the mini-train to learn how to activate your dog tag experience. The train is a lasting symbol of military transit of the wartime era. As you take the train car experience, imagine the plight of WWII soldiers as they went to war. Go across the 2nd-floor walkway to the Campaigns of Courage collection, where you get the American soldier’s eye-view of the war through 360-degree displays of key settings and dog tag stations with story points. Continue to the US Freedom Pavilion for a rare look at preserved war machines and a sobering walk through the galleries that honor American servicemen. Don’t leave without participating in the Final Mission: USS Tang Submarine Experience, a thrilling interactive tour one of the most successful WWII submarines (additional cost).Next head to the Solomon Victory Theater to view Beyond All Boundaries, an epic 4D wartime documentary produced by Tom Hanks (additional cost). Relax and enjoy the approximate 50-minute showing that includes first-hand accounts of life in battle and on the home front. Explore the museum at your own pace, stopping to browse genuine artifacts, engage in savvy interactive displays, remember fallen soldiers and take needed snack breaks (own expense) in the American Sector Restaurant or the Soda Shop.

Info from volunteers....

Karol_G, Apr 2024

Info from volunteers. Wonderful scenarios, accurate historical films and voice presentations. The flow through the various buildings led us from one exhibit to the next.

WWII museum

Earl_H, Apr 2024

What a wonderful time. It was above our expectations ! We have told everyone that we have seen that it's a must to experience.

Informative and enjoyable

Heather_S, Apr 2024

The staff was very helpful and the museum was informative. Moving between buildings was confusing at times, but we enjoyed what we were able to see.

AWESOME!

Terry_K, Apr 2024

This place is amazing!! Learned step by step what happened from World War I to Ii and why! My husbands father landed at Omaha Beach (the HELL) as one solider described it, and survived. This museum will open your eyes to what freedom we have compared to being under Hitler’s realm. Thank you military personal that have kept us free! If you are in NOLA GO! You won’t regret it.

Incredibly well done. Brought me to tears multiple times.

John_H, Apr 2024

The audio visual is off the charts. Covers WWII from every angle. Could have spent the entire day. Great for all ages.

Plan for 6 hours!

Heather_P, Apr 2024

Such a great walk through history. Loved the interactive components as this is a massive museum. Next trip I will be planning for two days as there was way too much to do and see for one day.

Must See WWII Museum

David_Y, Apr 2024

Very detailed and well curated exhibition. A must see in New Orleans. Make sure you have plenty of time, minimum 2.5 hours, to experience the WWII Museum.

Do not buy tickets in advance!

SCOTT_R, Apr 2024

Weather delayed our flight by ten hours causing us to miss the museum. Called Viator. Customer Service was no help at all. Could not understand what I was telling her. Call took 30 minutes to resolve nothing.

Worth a visit

Leslie_V, Apr 2024

This museum is beautifully done and I felt like I learned so much about world history. I would definitely return!

Great to see was put together very nice.

Glenn_G, Apr 2024

Lots of history to see and listen to was great every where we turned there was something special. This is a must to see if in New Orleans.

Awe inspiring

Dale_D, Apr 2024

Sobering stories. Wonderful displays. Videos were very good. Stories are personalized and meaningful. If you love WWII history it is easy to see how a 2 day pass is useful.

Great experience

Mark_W, Apr 2024

Excellent museum, the manner in which the exhibits were shown left us stunned. We booked this last minute and we were so glad we did.

Moving experience

Katie_S, Mar 2024

The testimonies of those who experimented the war, especially the Jewish people. So much information. It is good to understand our history in hopes that we do not repeat it. Great exhibits.

Great Historical Learning Opportunity

Leo_K, Mar 2024

We truly enjoyed the Museum and learned so much history. It was cool because we were able to learn about all the battles, those that the allies won that lead to winning the war. Well Done!!!

Educational and enlightening.

Caryn_G, Mar 2024

Loved all the small films telling their particular stories; about Black American, Asian Americans , and women in the services. Great explanation of events leading to war

Must do in Nola

Kenneth_H, Mar 2024

Expect to spend 4-6 hours going through the museum. Lots of information to cover! As of March 2024 there is construction, so the entrance is on the side of the building.

Interesting

gorneymonica, Mar 2024

A very sobering museum. It was well laid out with many interesting artifacts. It would take many hours to really see it all.

Near escalators

Beth_W, Mar 2024

We enjoyed our experience and learned a lot but wish they had more escalators. Too many stair for our older sisters and elevator was full and not a fan of tight spaces. Felt bad for the war veterans trying to get around.

Perfection.

Kelly_W, Mar 2024

Stunningly cohesive. Seamlessly blending stories. Covers all areas of conflict, including the holocaust. USO and the Homefront are also covered. We spent over 5 hrs there and could have seen more. A wonderful tribute to the greatest generation.

Spend the whole day not only a few hours

Jocelyn_M, Mar 2024

There is a lot to learn. My family only had time to briskly walk through 2 out of the 3 buildings, because we were running out of time. The museum is. Whole day situation. Great museum. I went with my almost 80 year old parents and my 48 year old sister in 41. Honestly- if I went without my parents I would have loved to read everything presented.
