This was my 1st time at the new museum, I was impressed at the way it was laid out, you viewed a short film then on to the cyclorama which is a 360 painting of the battle that used to be in it's own building. After that you walk through the museum which also has short films that detail different... More

I hadn't been to the Visitor Center in over 10 years and was amazed by the new facility. The place looks great, is very functional and even has a full food service area. Make sure you stop here first for the introductory film and other attractions before going out onto the battlefield. While here don't miss getting your picture taken... More

This is a must see stop on your tour of Gettysburg. It has something for every age. We brought two of our Grandchildren here and they are now hooked on civil war history.

This is an amazing exhibit of the Battle at Gettysburg and the Cyclorama done in 3 D and an informational movie. They said you could spend 3 hours there and we surely did!

The new visitor's center is well-done. There's a movie, a diorama room (WOW) and a museum in the same builiding. You can also reserve (two days ahead) private tour guides who drive your car thru the battlegrounds. If you're interested in civil war history, this is the place. Note: The cafe there has a limited 'fast-food' menu, not much healthy... More

The new visitors center is absolutely wonderful. They have a short movie, the awesome Cyclorama, a gift shop, and the Gettysburg war museum. The center is very modern and clean. There is a snack bar. This is an absolute must if you go to Gettysburg!!

This museum is wonderful, esp. the Cyclorama, but allow enough time. We spent 6 hours here and didn't get through it all. Admittedly, we're history buffs but it would be shame to give the museum short shrift since the exhibits are beautifully presented and comprehensive. Skip the cafeteria, however. The food is overpriced and dreary. By mid afternoon, there was... More

I wish this current incarnation of the museum, visitor center and cyclorama was available when my husband and I were kids/teens. This place is so extremely informative, well-researched, and tells "both sides" of the story - and a good thing as I descend from brave soldiers of the Amer. Revolution whose children would fight later under the banners of the... More
