Admission is 14€ and I would budget around 90 minutes for a visit. There are many life size dioramas in the museum featuring several battle scenes with mannequins demonstrating what life was like in war. Also on display are many original relics from the war some fully restored and some not but all clearly annotated as to what they are. In the basement, is a room that upon entering gives a 5 minute virtual experience using sound and light of being in Bastogne during the German bombardment. I enjoyed my visit to this quality museum and recommend it.

Crazy cool museum! The bombing simulator was awesome! Never expected that type of exhibit. The…read moreexhibitions were so realistic! I highly recommend visiting here for everyone.

A visit to the Bastogne War Museum actually includes admission to 3 locations. I will review each…read moreseparately. I recommend visiting each of the 3 sites in my order of listing below. The Bastogne War Museum is where you should start and buy your adult ticket for 28€. The Yelp location is accurate. It's located just outside of town. The only parking option is a pay lot for 7.50€ for the day next to the museum. Once inside you are given a free audio guide in your language that is very helpful. Use it. This is a very good museum that chronicles all of WW2 not just the Battle of the Bulge. One unique aspect of this museum are 4 video sequences paired each with a life like set that adds realism to the video presentation. I would budget 2.5 hours to visit here which also includes time at the outdoor Mardasson Memorial (separate Yelp review). The facility also has an onsite cafe if you get hungry. I rated this location a 4 and enjoyed my visit. It was better than I expected. The Bois Jacques battlefield is about a 5 minute drive away from the War Museum where you are given tickets for the Bois Jacques battlefield and the War Rooms. At Bois Jacques, this facility is unmanned. It has a free parking lot and you use your ticket from the Museum to scan a QR code at the gate of the battlefield to gain entrance. Bois Jacques is an actual battle site depicted in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers. This is an outdoor visitation so weather plays a factor regarding your visit. Budget 30 minutes for here. I rated this site a 4 also. The Bastogne War Rooms is the third location that your Museum ticket gains you admission into. It is located less than a 10 minute drive from the museum and also has a free parking lot available. It is located very near another good museum called Bastogne Barracks (separate Yelp review) which is NOT affiliated with the War Museum. The War Rooms disappointed me. I found it boring and somewhat difficult to understand and poorly organized. If you attend I would budget 1 hour. Honestly, I would skip it and is why I gave it a 2 score.

He is funny and extremely accommodating. He has a new car and picks you up and does not study the clock. We went to this among other locations and followed the Band of Brothers tour list and were awed by the detail and facts he provided. I can't offer a higher recommendation

Bastogne Barrack is a unique and interesting museum to visit while in Bastogne. This museum is all…read moreabout mechanized vehicles used by both the Allies and Axis powers during WW 2. I am talking about not only tanks but also artillery pieces both self propelled and towed, half tracks, freight trucks used to bring troops and materials to the front, jeeps, and anything else that rolled on the ground. Most of the vehicles are US, British, Russian and German. Some of these are stationed outside but most of them are in a large building spit into two parts. Most of them are examples that look fully restored while some of them are still being restored. It is the vehicles in this museum that makes it unique. I appreciated the hard work that someone put into restoring all of these museum pieces. Adult entry fee is 12€ and budget about an hour for your visit. This is a nice museum especially for anyone interested in machinery. Parking info. While parking is free you can't actually park in the campus. Parking is about 200 yards from the entrance on the side of the road. Just follow the signage.

If you don't have a guide to explain what you are seeing this could be a disappointment since there is not a lot of descriptions explaining what you are looking at. Perhaps the Barrack's has guided tours? Anyway it is an interesting place and they certainly have the biggest collection of tanks I have ever seen. I've been to many airplane museums in the US but nothing like this collection. Overall an important historical site worth seeing if a guide is available.
