Amazing
The National WWII Museum is the top-rated tourist destination in New Orleans and #2 in the U.S., and an unforgettable way to experience World War II—from industrial efforts on the home front to the combat experience of the American servicemember abroad. Offering a compelling blend of sweeping narrative and poignant personal detail, the Museum features immersive exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an expansive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories to take visitors inside the story of the war: why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today. Beyond the galleries, the Museum offers unique access to experiential history, including an opportunity to tour and ride on an authentically restored PT-boat, tours behind the scenes to handle artifacts alongside Museum curators, and an impressive collection of restored and working macro-artifacts to discover. Open early through 1/2/18, 8:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

Wish we could have spent more time there!
What a wonderful museum. Very emotional displays. The movie is a must see. Arrive early to make sure you get to see most of the displays. You really need more than one day to go through and observe all the WW2 memorabilia. We left with tears and an emotional remembrance of what these young men and women endured to keep our freedom and the freedom of the entire world.

An absolute must for any history buff!
I've been to NOLA a few times but this was the first time I was able to visit the WW2 Museum and it was definitely worth the trip. We spent almost 6 hours taking in the exhibit and could easily have spend more time there had we purchased the movie options. If you are short on time I would recommend prioritizing the Road to Berlin and Road to Tokyo exhibits.
