My fiancé and I went here on our vacation. We arrived at the museum around noon and stayed at the Bush Gallery until 3:30. We started out reading everything, and felt completely overwhelmed and like our brains were full by the end. We had gotten the audio tours, but definitely did not need them. We stopped using them about halfway... More

At last, the Pacific War makes sense! From the Opium Wars to the Atom Bomb, the whole time line is so carefully explained with a fascinating range of exhibits, commentaries and images. Easy to lose yourself for hours in there but the best bit has got to be the outdoor war theatre a couple of blocks away – if you... More

The National Museum of the Pacific War has so much information, you can't possibly take it all in in one day. It's well maintained, lots of pictures and information about the development of the war. My husband is a big WWII buff - me, not so much. But this museum held my interest. Well worth the time. Would recommend the... More

So much to see, very well done. Give yourself 2-3 hours. Incredible collection of war items and heart wrenching accounts of what our men went through. Gift shop is nice. Will take out of town guests when they visit us on San Antonio.

Very nice museum. We broke it up into two days, 2+ hours each time. My 13 and 10 year olds loved it. A little too much for our 5-year-old, so my husband took her to do something else. Totally self paced with hand held sound device, sort of like a cell phone, to explain each area.

Took two boys-age 12 and 10 and both are history buffs and really enjoyed the day. Be sure to check out the Nimitz museum and the Combat park too. You could come and go through all three area's as you wish all day. Plenty of chances to walk on main street and get lunch and ice cream if you wish.... More

Located in Fredericksburg, TX the museum is like none other that I have visited anywhere in any city..in or out of the United States. Great thought was taken as to the location, displays, construction and interactive participation by visitors. This is not just for the "Baby Boomer" generation. This is the world's history and is explained in a jumbled, confusing... More

this was a great experience. We took our daughter 15 and she was interested. this is a hands on museum.

I found this museum a bit confusing. They did a pretty good job providing the perspective leading up to WWII. However, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to follow the timeline was on the right-hand wall or a similar one on the opposite wall. Which to follow? Or do you bounce back and forth, side to side? When I... More
