Host a Birthday Party at The National World War II Museum

The National World War II Museum presents:
A TOP SECRET Birthday Party!

  • Upon arriving for a birthday party at The National World War II Museum, party attendees “muster” in the Louisiana Memorial Pavilion and are “drafted” into the army. “Draftees” are introduced to the Museum and outfitted in army helmets, dog tags, and camouflage face paint.
  • Once “draftees” have been outfitted, photographs may be taken in front of the Museum’s Higgins Boat and parents are given a worksheet and
    instructions on how to lead the soldiers on a top-secret mission through the Museum’s galleries. After the mission is complete, soldiers are issued an item from the “ammunition crate” and receive a special service award metal.
  • The celebration begins and soldiers assemble in the Museum’s party room.
    1940’s era cartoons are shown while parents serve cake and refreshments.
    Museum provides:
  • T-shirt and personalized dog tag for the birthday child; Helmet, face-paint, and dog tag for each party guest.
    • Scavenger hunt worksheet to be conducted by parents through the Museum’s galleries.
    • Party room with 1940’s era Bugs Bunny cartoons shown during cake and gift presentation.
    • Party favors from the “ammunition crate” and special service award metals for each participating guest.
    • Set-up, clean-up, and all paper products.
    • Complimentary admission until 5pm for those who would like to stay and explore. Offered 9am-3pm Tuesday-Saturday for ages 5-11 years old.
