Go to Philly or Chicago instead


Speaking of WW2 museums, in Chicago there is a German U boat you can tour the inside of. Only 1 of 4 in the world you can tour. Only 6 were captured by the allies. A must see for any WW2 buff.

2 in Germany
1 in England
1 in USA

The Fort Benning, GA armor museum will be legit once that opens. A notable piece is a King Tiger. Only 8 left. Hopefully not too much longer. The museum was moved from Fort Knox.

The best military museum I know of is the USAF museum in Dayton. One of each of everything the Air Force has flown from the Wright Flyer to the F23.
Had the Valkyrie in there too. Really cool.

Saw one in Belgium when my son and I did the BoB tour a few years a go.

Seems like I read recently that it’s going to be a couple more years before it’s open to the public.
