The pinnacle of the Civil War is incredibly captured in fascinating detail in this restored 360 degree painting. Puts you right in the middle of the battle. Should give everyone a sense of history whether you are a history buff or not. They should have more of these. more

The new Visitor's Center and Museum, completed in 2008, with the restored cyclorama all made our first visit to Gettysburg so meaningful and worthwhile. Imagine that being painted in the 1880's! Be sure to arrive early and explore. Spending time in the museum helps you comprehend the magnitude of the history before you when touring the battlefields. more

Awesome!

We were there to have a personal guide drive us thru the battlefield. We had 1/12 hours to kill, so bought a ticket for the Cyclorama and Museum. What a wonderful experience. First you see a very well made short movie then step up to the Cyclorama. We didn't know what to expect. It's a round beautifully painting of the... more

I would highly recommend the museum, movie and cylorama. It you go to the battlefiled be sure and by the audio tour in the gift shop. It's only $20, and well worth the money! more

This is a must see for every age group! By reading the reviews, I didn't realize how truly awesome this painting is! The foreground they have set up in front of the painting matches up perfectly right down to the wagon ruts! The only thing that I didn't like is you couldn't hear the guides very well and they rushed... more

This is a truly amazing part of Gettysburg. The history behind the Cyclorama itself is quite interesting. The Cyclorama puts you in the center of the battle. I can't recommend it enough! more

I've been visiting Gettysburg a couple times a year for the last 5 years, and have never had the opportunity to see the Cyclorama since its been undergoing a major restoration for the last several years. After finally seeing it in May '09, I have to say this is one of the most spectacular pieces of art I've ever seen.... more

Admission to the Cyclorama is included with your ticket to the movie and the gallery in the Visitors' Center. Admission to the Cyclorama, movie and galleries is about $8 for adults and $6 for kids. After you... more
