The museum was great as expected but what actually suprised me was the quality of food in the bistro. I expected it to be just a regular bistro not very good food and really expensive, the expensive part was true but I was really suprised that the food was actually good i reccomend almost everything on the menu exept for the sandwitches whitch are as expected bland but other than that its really tasty. If you are hungry after going through the museum dont waste your time trying to find a restaurant just eat there trust me you wont regret it.

Great museum. Bring a sandwich and water because if you are interested in this topic, you will stay for over 3 hours. Excellent exhibition of vehicles, weapons and equipment, as well as other legacies. If you don't bring food, there are restaurants as well as a ww2 themed restaurant. The exhibition also includes films from the war period. A very comprehensive museum, it will not leave fans indifferent. It is not bad to buy tickets online, and there is also the possibility of buying tickets for 3 museums, which I recommend. Parking for a vehicle is 5 euros.

Absolutely worth visiting. Wish we had had more time to be able to take in the whole museum. We had limited time as this was an impromptu stop. Make sure you have several hours to be able to spend here.

Its good, some nice theatre settings. I was expecting more Bastogne/Foye specific, the details and notty gritty. It covers the whole war from 38-45 which is good if you don't know, then a secrion in the middle for the bulge.

A Must-Visit: The Emotional Powerhouse of the Bastogne War Museum Visiting the Bastogne War Museum was an unforgettable highlight of my trip, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. This museum, dedicated to the Battle of the Bulge, delivers a deeply moving experience that blends history, emotion, and education in a way that resonates long after you leave. From the moment you step in, the immersive exhibits pull you into the harsh realities of World War II. The museum’s use of personal stories, interactive displays, and authentic artifacts—like the chillingly preserved tanks outside—brings the Battle of Bastogne to life. What struck me most was the audio-guided tour, where you follow the perspectives of four characters: a soldier, a civilian, a nurse, and a resistance fighter. Their stories made the history feel raw and human, stirring emotions I didn’t expect. The museum doesn’t shy away from the war’s brutality but balances it with tales of courage and resilience, honoring the sacrifices made in and around Bastogne. The layout is intuitive, and the attention to detail is remarkable, making it accessible for history buffs and casual visitors alike. For anyone visiting Belgium, this is more than a museum—it’s an emotional journey into a pivotal moment in history. Plan for a few hours, as you’ll want time to absorb it all. I left with a deeper appreciation for the past and a renewed sense of gratitude. Highly, highly recommended!

A very well laid out museum with many small artefacts and a few military vehicles. There are 4 characters that talk through the headsets narrating their journey through WW2 which brings an interesting perspective. I thought that it was a bit expensive for what it is. There is a lovely cafe on site and a well stocked museum shop. Motorcycle parking is free. Access for disabled is very good.

A Thoughtful and Unfiltered Look at WWII History As an American visitor, I found the Bastogne War Museum refreshingly honest—no sugarcoating, no censorship. It presents the complexity of WWII with depth and integrity, offering exhibits in multiple languages, both written and audio. The ticket includes an audio headset that auto-plays as you move through the museum. The narration follows four fictional characters whose wartime perspectives add emotional context. While this concept is creative, I found the constant audio distracting when trying to read the exhibits. The only part of the audio tour I truly enjoyed was in the immersive theatre sections, where it complemented the visuals beautifully. The museum itself is well-curated, with rich timelines, authentic artifacts, and a clear historical arc. What stood out most to me was the focus on post-war Europe—something many museums overlook. The Generation 45 section was especially powerful, shedding light on the Cold War era and the human cost of division behind the Iron Curtain. Though the ticket price might seem steep, the experience is absolutely worth it. My only real critiques: the dim lighting made some exhibits hard to read, and the audio storytelling, while ambitious, didn’t always enhance the visit. Overall, a well-executed museum that respects the gravity of history while offering a compelling, multi-layered experience.

A fitting tribute to all the American troops who gave their lives. The memorial is free entry but the museum that occupies the same site is 22€ per person that added to the 5€ parking charge it does start to become expensive. The memorial and grounds are well worth a visit if you want to pay your respects for free and the first 20 mins parking is free.

Two years ago they were busy with the restoration, and now it's complete (although we couldn't discover where they restored it). Overall it is worth a visit when you are visiting the museum or if you are visiting Bastogne. It is a large monument to commemorate the Second World War.

Images from the Mardasson Memorial. Honoring the memory of American soldiers who were wounded or killed in the Battle of the Bulge. We should never forget.The museum was closed, but this monument brought tears to my sarcastic, cynical eyes. A great way to end our trip.

The Mardasson Memorial in Bastogne is striking, respectful, and deeply thought-provoking, honoring those who fought in the war. Visiting is definitely worthwhile, a powerful and moving experience. The upper deck wasnt open when we were there.

Its sadly closed for renovation but it has to be done so I dont see the reason for all of these 1 star reviews. But other than that its great its really majestic commemorating the sacrifices of thousands of soliders i would reccomend to visit

Impressive monument, but at the time it is closed and cordoned off, the crypt is open thou, sign mentions renovation should have been completed last year and I see reviews here mentions it has been open since

The movies (3) was very good, but they tell the story in a too complicated way. Hard to follow as an adult and the children barely keep up, even though they know history and have seen some of the related films and series.

Awesome, better than I thought it would be. Their variety of equipment was amazing. The main display hall was kinda dark. The military guide was very knowledgeable and friendly you could tell he really enjoyed his job

This is a fantastic WWII museum with various displays both inside and outside. It isn't very big overall, and you could easily see everything in an hour if you wanted to, but I took a little longer as I like to take my time and read about stuff. If you like WWII history and you're in or near Bastogne, be sure to check this place out, and if you like to take your time, give yourself a couple hours here!

Awesome display! If you want an extensive overview of military hardware, this is the place to be! The sliding doors of hal 1 open and you are greeted by the smell of engine oil and grease, AND a 152mm pointing right at you :) It's really worth every euro of the entrance fee, MUCH visit when in Belgium (or central Europe for that matter ;) )

Really nice exponation. ISU 152, IS 200, several Sherman incl different guns. Lots of howitzers and trucks. I was really satisfied with their collection. Worth a visit!

The best museum in Bastogne (must see), with a lot of armed vehicles and tanks in perfect condition. They've got vehicles from the Soviet Union, France, England, America and Germany.

The “Vehicle Restoration Center” is a real gem. There are two large buildings with an amazingly diverse set of vehicles and other equipment. And there is a third, smaller area with some artillery pieces. In places, the lighting could have been better. Signage was pretty good overall. There was a very basic but adequate bathroom facility. There was no cafe or vending machines that I saw. The confusing part for us was that you had to park on the street, fairly far down from the entrance, and then walk quite a distance just to get back to the entrance/ticket booth. You can not drive directly into the grounds, though there is a provision for handicapped people to drive in. Bottom line, this is well worth the entrance fee.

Would have had a better score but the main hall was closed when we went. If you like military hardware, not just tanks, this is worth a visit. And there is an excellent Virtual Reality view of the inside of a Sherman Tank.

Amazing museum. Everything was done really well and wax models are so life like. Exceeded my expectations with lot of video and audio effects. Not just old stuff from WW2 this exhibition shows so much more.

This is a great museum. The exhibits were well displayed and the dioramas were excellent. Well worth the 14Euro entry fee. Free parking nearby. No need to visit the expensive tourist trap Bastogne War Museum, who even have the nerve to charge for parking.

If you are a fan of WWII, you must see attraction. If not, as well, you must see attraction. Located on 3 floors, there are so many things from WW2 and showing 101st Airborne story. All the manikins look like alive, well presented scenes of fighting and other situations. Bunker is something different, I must say.

An amazing collection. The wax figures bring the pieces to life. The bomb room feels like you are there.

Really good museum with lots of artefacts. The bombing simulation was a real eye opener!

Amazing museum. The bombing raid experience in the basement is incredible. A lot of artifacts from the war period very informative and well done spanning on all 3 floors of the museum.

Museum is very focused, and the dioramas are very well done, complete with sound.

An amazing museum

(Translated by Google) Parking 5 euros and entrance fee 20 euros per person. Definitely too expensive. We hiked up from Bastogne. The parking lot is very large and is also suitable for mobile homes. Last night at 6 p.m. we drove past and saw that the parking lot costs 5 euros. The museum was already closed by then. Apparently you get something good written about you when you visit the museum. The grounds are very beautiful and well maintained. With lots of information boards. It's fun to run there. Dogs on a leash are allowed in the park. Unfortunately, the monument is currently a construction site and is completely covered with scaffolding and completely closed. (Original) Parken 5 Euro und Eintritt 20 Euro pro Person. Definitiv zu teuer. Wir sind von Bastogne aus hoch gewandert. Der Parkplatz ist sehr groß und ist auch für Wohnmobile geeignet. Gestern Abend um 18h sind wir vorbei gefahren und haben gesehen, dass der Parkplatz 5 Euro kostet. Das Museum war da schon geschlossen. Scheinbar bekommt man bei einem Besuch des Museum etwas gut geschrieben. Das Gelände ist sehr schön und gepflegt. Mit vielen Infotafel. Es macht Spaß dort zu laufen. Hunde an der Leine sind im Park erlaubt. Leider ist das Denkmal zur Zeit Baustelle und voll zugestellt mit Gerüst und komplett gesperrt.
