World class museum about World War II in the Pacific. Nice displays and informative text tell the story with facts and heart felt personal stories. We spent a little over two hours there, learning a lot of interesting stories and facts and enjoyed every minute. Well worth a visit!

Very enjoyable. Nice timeline with an explanation of events and related artifacts. Midget sub, door from AZ battleship, and Stuart tank with the gun that destroyed it. Lots to see here. Plan on spending a couple of hours.

Totally completely awesome. And like 10x bigger than I thought. Took us 4. 5 hours to get through it. No regrets at all. Well worth your $20

I was only able to be there for about two hours unfortunately. If you wanted to take it all in its a half day of history.

Lots of great information. Give yourself time, we started an hour before closing and only got to see half. I would love to go back again, with time to truly appreciate the history.

Im former Navy sailor, so of course this was a treat for me! However, I think you can enjoy it even if youre not former military! It goes into the history of one of 4 Fleet Admiral in the history of the Navy! Also its cool that with your ticket is included with the ticket to the Pacific War Museum which is right next door!

One of the best collections about the Pacific War in World War II that I have seen. It shows the war from both sides. Definitely worth another visit.

The prices were reasonable for tickets and it was very informative about the Pacific Theater during WW2. The Bush Gallery was very large and quite informative about the Pacific Theater as well. I would recommend both Galleries and touring the beautiful Peace Garden.

This place is phenomenal! So much WWII in this small museum. If you care anything about the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Naval battle with Japan, this is a must see! Nimitz makes me proud to be an American.

Top-notch museum. The Pacific War building is packed full of amazing artifacts, including pieces from Eugene Sledge, author of With The Old Breed, seen in HBOs The Pacific. Can possibly take all day if you stop to see every display of artifacts and writing. Take pictures to look at later.

I finally made it in here during our trip to Fredricksburg. The last time I was in town we didnt have time, but I am glad we had time this trip. The tickets are good for a couple of days which makes it really nice that you dont have to feel like you have to see everything in the museum in one day, which it could. We ran out of time this trip to see everything and now we know next trip to plan on stopping back in to finish exploring the museum.

Review №55

A delightfully shocking high quality museum experience! Was not expecting such a modern and high quality museum in Fredericksburg. If your interested in WWII plan on spending 3+ hours,it is not a quick stop with the museum campus being 3 seperate places. The displays are very detailed, interactive and engaging. Your tickets are good for 48 hours which is nice if you want to split. Up your day. This is an experience you would expect in a big city, not in the hill country.
