I pointed this out when we were told we didn’t have the proper tickets, and the kid working at the entrance to Memory Hall actually said, “I don’t believe you.” We did not want to pay for the Jim Crow exhibit, but I though we would be fine for the others because it clearly stated that we had access to Memory Hall. The sign at the ticket counter states: General Admission gives access to the Main Exhibit, Memory Hall, and a few other select areas. The museum is nice and thorough, but for a national museum, it’s expensive and the pricing is deceptive. We did not do War Remains which is a virtual experience because of the $28 fee. I would highly recommend this museum because WWI is confusing and this is the best explanation I’ve ever seen. One of the volunteers took quite a bit of time to ask our grand children if they understood and what they enjoyed most. One thing I noticed was that even though none of the volunteers could’ve been around during World I they were incredibly knowledgeable and eager to help. Be aware there is a steep 45 step stairway to the top Also, you probably don’t want to be waiting in line on a hot day. If you’re planning to do the tower do it early as you can if it’s a warm day because it’s not accessible totally by elevator and it gets warm at the top. This museum helps one to understand a very confusing war unlike World War II. Many uniforms, artillery pieces, an airplane, a tank and other memorabilia. Similar to the World War II museum in NOLA, there never seems to be enough time to explore all the exhibits.
