The Museum is a great place for families to experience history hands-on! Explore immersive exhibits and interactive experiences to learn what life was like during World War II and how the war shaped the world we live in today. Grab a dog tag and follow the true story of a WWII servicemember throughout the Museum's exhibits; spot the planes soaring in US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center; relive the last epic battle of the USS Tang in Final Mission: USS Tang Submarine Experience; or visit the STEM Innovation Gallery to discover how science, technology, engineering, and math contributed to—and advanced—the Allied effort during World War II.

Plus, join us Tuesday and Saturday mornings for our new Storytime at the Museum, featuring WWII-themed children's books, fun activities, and crafts.
