There is so much to see and learn at The Gettysburg National Military Park Museum and Visitor Center. Make this your 1st stop before touring the battlefields, as it will provide additional insight and build on your knowledge of the Battle of Gettysburg (if you belong to AAA, there's discounted admission for all in your group). There are 3 parts... More

They have all the information needed to get the most out of your tour. They answered all my questions & seemed to be knowledgeable about their job. They take it very serious, as they should. More

Overall, pretty good. Musuem is excellent, the gift shop is pretty good, too. Parking is a little tough and far away for busier times. More

The museum was state of the art. I think it is new. Saw some artifacts I'll never forget. More

Brand new facility. We were thankful we saw the video, Cyclorama, and museum before touring the battlefield so we had a better appreciation of the battlefield when we saw it. We'd recommend you do the same. Good for families- great for history enthusiasts. More
