The place is impressive, and worth visiting. Adding the planetarium is a must, especially if you are visiting woth kids. I missed more information about the site itself, the felt more like an overview of WWII. The website is also pretty outdated and hard to navigate. Tip: bring a jacket, it is very cold inside the tunnel!!! If your near by and even have the remotest interest in history, or humanity, go. But bewarned it hits hard. Think about if taking small children is a good idea or not, there are some articles which will need to be explained, but then should be. Will never forget it. Took my Band of Gamers tour group here on October 2, 2023. The site was absolutely amazing. In addition to the history of the V2 program, the site also presented information on the slave labour the Nazis used to work on this complex - very sobering. In 2019 my group visited the V3 site Mymoceques but we didn't have time to come here. I'm glad we took the time to see it this time. Highly recommend. Fascinating museum well worth a visit. Well laid out, very informative and covers several periods not just the V1/V2 era. Reasonable entrance price too €14 . Brilliant museum. Totally exceeded our expectations. So much information. A fantastic audio guide on a tablet with great videos and interactive content Its a beautiful and well preserved memory of the great and indeed insane ambitions of the Third Reich. Combine this with a to the Blockhaus or the V3 weapon and you'll see what optimism and a lot of money can do. Even though it's unfinished, you'll have a great impression of this site. The interactive tablets do a good job. Some expositions are sadly only in French and the lack of internet under earth invalidate on the fly translation apps. Pre-downloading translations helps. I'll still give it 5 stars. It will take you from 1914 well into the American space program, with a focus on WW2 in Northern France, the resistance and the eventual liberation. I didn’t know what to expect when visiting this museum — I went in completely blind, having done no prior research and only using ChatGPT to help plan my holiday itinerary. I was genuinely in awe when the huge concrete megastructure suddenly came into view as I drove into the car park. It was completely unexpected and an impressive sight to behold. The exhibits, supported by clear and informative supplementary information, made the both engaging and enjoyable. That said, a few areas felt a little empty, and additional displays could have further enriched what was otherwise a very well-presented museum. One highlight was the interactive tablet and headset experience, which elevated the and made the museum even more immersive. The on-site café was also a pleasant surprise, serving tasty food and drinks at very reasonable prices. A brilliant day out!! The tunnels to the dome have a fun interactive tablet to use on the way round that brought the history to life! Most of it was in French and English so as an English visitor we were looked after too! I would say that there was a LOT of reading and by the end my brain was a bit information overload but that did not take away from the experience because it was all fascinating and important to note in history! It was a bit chilly in the tunnels so bring layers! We also got a ticket for the planetarium and the film that day was all about D-Day which was well done too! It was a long day, we spent about 5 hours there so either take a packed lunch or make use of the cafe there! Overall, a great day!!
