Description:

Join an exclusive, docent-led tour of the official US World War II Museum and enjoy a day exploring over 100,000 artifacts, including a private tour of those not on display. Discover the stories of American soldiers and civilians, climb in a Sherman tank, and savor lunch with the museum curator.

Arrive at the Louisiana Memorial Pavilion and learn the behind-the-scenes story of this historic museum in New Orleans. Your adventure begins with a guided tour of exhibits and interactive experiences that paint the picture of a nation mobilized for war—those who answered the call of service and those who supported our forces by producing planes, ships, and tanks. See artifacts not on display, including a “white glove” hands-on experience, where you handle and learn about weapons carried by our soldiers during WWII.

Next, head to the US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center, where you have the opportunity to climb in a Sherman tank. Jump on the Train Car Experience to learn the historic significant trains played in WWII, then head to the Final Mission: USS Tang Submarine Experience, where you can act as a crew member navigating through battle.

Listen as your knowledgeable guide describes the many different airplanes used in combat. Then see the historic PT-305 as it's restored to its original condition. Relish a private lunch with a museum curator at the Louis Armstrong Private Dining Room and see the exclusive Beyond All Boundaries 4-D film narrated by Tom Hanks.
