It's one of the finest WWII museums and surrounding grounds that I've ever seen. I've been there half a dozen times and I always run out of time.

Been there and really enjoyed the Museum. Also the local Fredrecksburg is a pleasant little town with some good cafes and the Guadalope River not too far away for river tubing or canoeing. Go - Have some Fun, and see the Museum.

There was a Priest-type (105mm on a Sherman body) and I think a Type 95 (or 97?) Jap Tank which I could crawl over and peer into.

Lots of Japanese uniforms, weapons.
An open/unshielded (I think? 5in?) ship mounted AA gun you can sit in the Aiming Seat.
The Japanese Mini-Sub.

Lots and lots to see, well worth the trip.

Been there several times. If you want to see their inside museum collection the last time I went its by appointment only, otherwise its closed.

Also if you're going, try to make time to visit the 45th Inf. museum in OKC, if you've never been. Lots of good stuff inside and out.

Status: offline 		The museum in New Orleans is pretty good - I went with the wife unit so was not able to spend as much time as possible there. Also was not able to see the PT boat that they were working on making into a runner again. The museum also has a fair number of WW2 vets who volunteer there.

All that said, New Orleans is a must visit city if you get the chance. Bourbon street is 'interesting', but better venues off a couple of blocks to the primarily Eastern side of Bourbon. Food is generally awesome - music ditto - I plan on getting to Jazz Fest at some point. Lot's of interesting tours, haunted evening walk, cemeteries, etc. And you can stay in one of the smaller 'boutique' hotels for a reasonable rate (no swimming pools, gyms, restaurant, room service, etc - but if that's what you are looking for in New Orleans you're missing the opportunity).

Caveat - still high crime rates in certain parts of the city but easy enough to avoid.

Regards,
Frank

Went there over a decade ago while in town for a conference. It was excellent. Well worth the trip.
