Being English, it was good to hear the story of WW2 from the USA perspective, we saw the 4D experience with Tim Hanks narrating, which was good! The rest of the museum is interesting and like most war museums you hear the same stories.
What was excellent was meeting a WW2 veteran who was sitting at a table and allowing passer by’s to speak with him, I could not believe that no-one was talking to him, for someone over 100 years old it was amazing to here his experience in the Pacific during the war. Thank you Steve Ellis and I was humbled to meet you and very nice to talk about life!
I did not spend enough time in the museum as there is so much to see but did enjoy the experience.
Do go! it’s a journey into the freedoms we have today and good for all to learn from!

Very worthwhile visit. Exhibits are wonderfully done, with lots of videos, first-person narratives and even special effects. I thought I knew a lot about the war, but I learned so much more. Don t miss the 4-D Tom Hanks-narrated movie. You need to allow a full day to see everything. Volunteer greeters are everywhere, and they are friendly and helpful. Special moment for me: finally seeing my father s brick (he served in England and France during WWII, and my mother purchased the brick as a memorial to his service).
