Steve’s take
Ranked the #1 tourist attraction in New Orleans and one of the top museums in America. The immersive exhibits put you on Omaha Beach and in a submarine, and the 4D film narrated by Tom Hanks will make every adult in the theater cry while pretending they're not. If your New Orleans detour can fit one museum, this is the one. For families with kids over ten, it's transformative. The real artifacts — letters, uniforms, vehicles — hit different than any textbook.
