Well worth the visit when in Norfolk. Great collection of memorabilia and historical stuff related the General MacArthur and various campaigns that he was involved with spanning decades and wars during his career. He definitely lived in interesting times and was involved with some major turning points through history. Very well maintained museum with brief video history of MacArthur’s lifetime and involvement in the military. Clean bathrooms, nice gift shop and friendly staff. Parking is available across the street at the MacArthur mall for $1.00 an hour. Expect to spend at least an hour for a quick tour or longer if you want to immerse yourself in the collection. Admission is free and there is lots to see in the downtown area. Highly recommended.

A good memorial/ museum to learn about General Douglas MacArthur, a man who dedicated his entire life to serve the country and protect all American citizens.

Cost $0 to get in and you can easily spend 1.5 hours in it so there is really no excuse for you to no go and learn about the history. Parking is available in the shopping mall, cost only $1 for the first 3 hours.

A wonderful museum which takes you through MacArthur's storied life and accomplishments. Of course, you can visit the man himself too!

A must visit place for any WW2 enthusiasts. The memorial was beautiful and very well kept. The musuem had lots of personal items that belonged to General MacArthur. I am a huge history fanatic and I was in awe of seeing his corn cob pipe Raybans and hat in person.

As a Korean-American and also military fam, I will always be grateful to General Douglas Macarthur for saving South Korea from North Korea. Had he not intervened at the Battle of Incheon with his smart strategy, North Korea would’ve won and all of us would be under communist rule. I came to give my thanks to his gravesite and also viewed the museum with awe at this amazing and accomplished General, giving his life to duty with his masterminded war strategies. I am thankful to him both as an American citizen and as a Korean national. Most Korean people view Americans very favorably due to General Douglas Macarthur saving our country. Thank you. There is also a statue of him in Korea (Incheon) as well.

Such a highly informative museum dedicated to a true American hero! Highly recommended for history buffs! My kids even enjoyed the scavenger hunt he museum created inside the mausoleum. 🇺🇸🇵🇭

So many awesome things to look at and they have a wonderful gift shop. Everyone working there was very nice and knowledgeable. We parked in the mall parking garage and spent three hours between the Museum and eating at the food court. It does cost to park in the garage, but we were there for 3 hours and it only cost us $1, not bad at all. We could have easily spent the whole day there if we took our time to look at everything. It really is a great place to go, and to top it off, it is all free for the public and so well kept. I am actually looking forward to going back for a showing about Iwo Jima they will be having in their theatre room.

Great display of of history of one of Americas leaders. Presentation is well put together and grounds are maintained. The museum offers guides, I think mostly volunteers that can explain almost every corner and item.

Literally could get lost in here just reading up on everything and taking it all in. Nicely done! Very interesting. Especially for those who love history.

Nicely done. Great memorial. Lots of history I hope that gets to stay around for many years to come.

As a kid I didn't appreciate this museum when my family would bring relatives. Basically, if your Filipino, you visit this museum because of how important and beloved General MacArthur is to us and our history. Now as an adult I can't get over how awesome this place is. There's a wealth of knowledge and the exhibitions and gift shop are cool. I love the courtyard and all three buildings. I'm definitely getting a membership and bringing more people here.

Well done and educational. The museum & visitor center are well worth the time to go through, but give yourself 2 hrs minimum.

Interesting, not crowded. Parking next door at the mall. Pretty park setting around the building. And….free!

This is a really nice but small free museum that you can come and walk around. 👍

Awesome experience must do allow 3hrs if really interested and want to read and learn

It is a great place to know more details for one of the most famous America 5-star General. What he did had a huge impact in Asia, especially Japan, Korea, Philippines, and China! As a Chinese, I am glad to visit here and gain so much information about the history and the brave General. Highly recommended!

It was amazing and humbling to see this memorial and what is can inspire in all of us to do our best.

I am just awestruck with the richness of history and humbled by the greatness of a man who not only served the United States but the people of the world.

I really enjoyed visiting. Free to get into and wonderfully curated.
