The National WWII Museum located on Magazine St. in New Orleans Louisiana is a must see!!

The "Road to Berlin" is an accessible tour, at a great price with discounts offered to veterans and their companions, and is completely interactive with each ticket holder being issued a set of dog tags linked to a soldier, sailor, or Marine that follows them throughout their tours of service via headphones linked to listening stations.
The museum is displayed with time period firearms, entrenchments, vehicles, and aircraft, all meticulously restored, and viewing stations strategically placed throughout describing the rolls each vehicle played during the war.
There is a 4D movie theater equipped with rubble seats, surround sound, falling snow, and air bursts that not only depict the landings of D-day and the arduous battlefield conditions the soldiers faced throughout the battles, but the 4D stimulus gives the impression that you are embedded with the allies and American fighting forces throughout the winters of Northern Europe.
