For those of you, like myself, who toured this museum some years ago, you should tour it again, as I have. Attractions have been added. There are two parts to the museum. One is the inside part which has photos and other memorabilia pertaining to the war in the Pacific during WW2. A short walk from there is the other... more

This is a world class museum. I spent 3 hours there and I don't think I saw more then half of it. Its and end to end history lesson regarding the Pacific War, and by the time I left, it had whet my appetite to learn more about this momentous time in world history. Don't miss it. more

Worth every cent and fills you with greater understanding and a very deep appreciation of everything that our men did... more
