Enjoyed a short tour of the Nimitz Museum after our tour of the Pacific War Museum. It only takes about a half hour to go through this museum and it is included in the price of the Pacific War Museum. More

This museum is adjacent to the War of the Pacific Museum that has just had a fabulous addition to an already renowned collection of World War II history. Can't really see it all in just one day. More
