Like the aircraft and beach viewing area. Open later than most. Ice cream shop closed before museum!

This was the second beach that American forces landed on during the D-Day invasion. There is a really nice museum on site here and is well worth the time for you visit. There is a B26 Maurader here and a landing craft. You can walk out on the beach and I recommend that you do this. I think you need about an hour for your visit. Parking was free.

This is a new museum and it is spacious and full of natural light which is most pleasant. We spent an interesting 2 hours here. We had seen plenty of other museums before - this one rates up there on the favorites list. We didn't try out the Roosefelt Restaurant, but took a picnic on the beach as the weather was good.

This museum houses some very well preserved military artifacts and even airplanes. You really get a sense of the magnitude of the D-Day operation especially seeing the beach they had to climb.

We spent several hours here on a rainy day and really enjoyed our visit. We did not visit many D-Day museums, because we felt that once we had been here and studied every exhibit, we had covered what we wanted to cover. Great artifacts and the video interviews really set this one apart from the airborne museum in St. Mere Eglise which we had visited earlier that day. So glad we chose this museum. We did get drenched in a blowing sideways wind walking to the entrance. Even though there were few visitors that day, be advised that parking is at a distance from the door.

I don't like Tom Brokaw but I do agree with him when he called the men and boys on these beaches as the "greatest generation." How different all of our live would be without their sacrifices. This is a very well done museum on a less than fully sophisticated scale but that is much of its charm and contribution. The museum contributes much to understanding the value of their efforts. The museum is an essential piece of the puzzle for us to understand how much we owe to these men and boys. You must see it to understand.

The whole of Utah Beach has been preserved by each Mayor since WWII and it is such a wonderful tribute to the town and the USA Troops who landed in their thousands. There is plenty of parking and all you see is the Museum which used to be part of a bunker, and around the imposing Statues markers showing distances and the names of the ships that were moored ready for the landing. The Museum is wonderful and full of interesting facts and such personal stories and it also gives you some insight into the French Resistance..such brave men and women and to the town that is making sure we never forget. Take a walk on the beach and imagine what it was like.

This Museum is somewhat deceptive. From the outside it appears very new and modern and indeed it is, yet inside you quickly realise that it was built to incorporate the remains of an intact German bunker. Also the Museum is far more extensive than it appears and houses some extremely interesting pieces and some wonderful audio-visual elements. Don't miss the cinema or Major Richard Winters' first hand account of the destruction of the 105s at Brecourt Manor. A visit is not complete without a coffee at the Roosevelt café where you can spend ages browsing the signatures of returning veterans on its walls or even more poignantly names of casualties placed there by their loved ones. Overall an unforgettable experience.

Loaded with worthwhile exhibits. There is perhaps the best LCVP - (Landing Craft or Higgins Boat) example to be viewed in Normandy. Also, a section of beach defense installations. This is a must if you love military history.

Lots of great artifacts that help tell the story. The beach here is not as scenic, imo, as Omaha but the many monuments around the museum are very interesting to walk through. Great display. Arrive before mid afternoon as they close early and stop letting guests in 1/2 hour before close.
