All the displays are laid out so perfectly. They are very informative. The 3d movies were a nice touch. The cellar movie was the most memorable. It has a little extra to the dislay. The staff and gift shop were amazing! We loved the entire experience.

Loved the interactive videos and the cellar experience. The video at the end with the mannequins was very informative. A small taste of the terror at the time.

The museum closes at 4. We arrived there at 3:15 and they would not let us in. You must be there by three. Your website did not tell us that.

I am sorry to hear you did not have a good experience. In order to experience the entire museum, and orientation movie, it takes at minimum 1 hour. I did double check our listing, and it notes last entrance is 1 hour prior to closing. We are happy to extend your ticket to another visit, or if you prefer, issue a refund through Viator. I apologize for the confusion. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss with you further, and take care of processing your refund. 717-334-6245.

The heritage center surprised me. It is smaller then I expected but it was well laid out and worth the visit. My grandson who is 9 enjoyed the experience of sitting in the cellar and felling what it must have been like for the people that lived there. There are many three D photos that really built on helping to understand the war. I am glad we made this a part of our trip.
