    It's a lot bigger than you think! Puts a lot of elaborate detail into the Asian front.

    Beyond All Boundaries is a must see. Skip the Final Mission - it is short and not really interactive.

    They say it takes 2.5 hours to go through the museum. After 3.5 hours I still haven't reached the Pacific Theater. You can spend a whole day here.

    Look out for the next buildings in the museum's expansion to go up soon. When all buildings are built, this will be one of the biggest in the country.

    Go there and explore EVERY exhibit in the building. It will take you back to D-Day as if you were there already. You'll be glad you're an American.
