New Orleans: The National WWII Museum Ticket

3.The National WWII Museum Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 704 reviews · 1 day · from $37

Explore New Orleans’ National WWII Museum, from D-Day craft and warplanes to a powerful 4D film, with options for guided tours.

“Highly recommend. Nice setup, but a little confusing traversing through it (assistants at checkpoints). The museum is quite large but well organized and thorough (2 buildings, 2 levels). There is a nice large resturant with a bar & 2 gift shops. There was also a visiting museum on African American history in WWII that was set up in the same format.”
