Visited on a family holiday in August. You need to show up at the gate at given hour. This is no "anytime entry, wonder by yourself museum" but active military base, where the whole group needs to be escorted at all times. Great Bastogne siege display/reconstruction, very knowledgable tour guide (a sargeant in Belgian army), then the main attraction - huge garage with all the great tanks and armoured vehicles. My boys were so happy. A must do for any World of Tanks player. The price of entry is very low - 8 EUR per adult (card payment only), kids go free! Excellent!!!

It's in a historic building situated in Joubiéval that the « Bulge Relics Museum » presents on several floors battlefield relics that were recovered from the battlefields of Vielsalm, Lierneux and at the Baraque de Fraiture crossroads. A didactical path through pictures, displays, vehicles and sceneries makes you relive those dark days of winter 1944 which saw US forces face mainly the elite troops of the SS panzerdivisions. Thousands of artifacts that, directly risen from that time, depict the everyday living of these men dragged by the storm of the battle. The museum will be opened from June up to September at weekends from 13 til 17 pm. It will also possible to visit it during the weeks as well as on special occasions but on appointment only. Schools : A special didactical file to be printed can be mailed in advance to teachers.

The tour of the Bulge Relics Museum was the highlight of the group's visit to the area, which also included stops at local monuments and battlefield positions. The collection of uniforms, weapons, general supplies and artifacts is terrific and the condition of many items on display is excellent. The stories and information presented by the curator / guide conducting our tour was exceptionally interesting. If you are in the Ardennes, a visit to this hidden gem is definitely worth the time and entrance fee.

Located close to the famous Mardasson Memorial, the Bastogne War Museum is the principal memorial dedicated to the Second World War in the Ardennes and Belgium with more than 150 000 visitors per year. Through the use of scenography, witness testimonial, multi-media installation the route through the exhibition appeals not only to the intellect but to the emotions, giving visitors the feeling that this story belongs to each and every one of us.

Visited with our two kids (7 and 9), and we all thought the museum was fantastic. For my generation and that of our kids, the events of WW2 are very removed. But when you learn about what happened, and that it wasn't all that long ago, it's a very humbling educational experience. The museum is really well curated, and the exhibition leads you through the lead up and events of this part of WW2 in a logical and very engaging manner. My kids liked their individual audio guides and especially the way the story is narrated by the 4 perspectives of the local boy, his teacher, the American soldier and the German soldier. The theatrical displays are really good (to give your mind a break) because there is just so much info to absorb and it is tiring. We spent 3hrs in the museum. It is scary that the events of today seem so similar to those in the lead up to WW2... We also visited the Verdun WW1 museum the next day, and it is incredulous that the world didn't learn it's lesson the first time round.

How this museum is not rated 5* all the way baffles me. Giles, the current family member in charge and his father Before have done an amazing job! This is part of our history as Europeans, savage as it me be, layes out out in a fantastic way, translated for all to understand. War machines, weapons, medical Instruments and all forms of attire there to see, read and learn along with video footage and description! What they’ve collected, refurbished and restored (Giles has personally restored many of the machines himself, formally a mechanic) is unbelievable and there to learn, understand and ponder. This Place is a must and an absolute bargain for what it offers. Next year more artifacts from his collection are to be added. I can’t wait and will be back. My partner has no interest in war and conflict but was astonished at the quality of the information at hand about the history of what our grandparents went through. Simply brilliantly put together. A must visit.

This walk is 13,5 km if your can park your car at the parking close by. Elevation difference is 450 m what make it a rather difficult walk. You should fore see at least 5 hours in normal weather condition. There are different places where you can have a nice stop to eat and enjoy the view. Try to be there around noon to have a place at the car park. You will have a challenging but unforgettable afternoon. To finish your day you can go to La Roche for a nice dinner.
