    Was amazing to see the place of this incredible bravery by the 6th British Airbourne Division. Evoked quite a lot of emotions. You need to visit the nearby cafe which was the home of the first family to be liberated on the 6th June 1944 and the museum with the original bridge definitely requires a visit.

    Just like in The Longest Day?
    How brave the Brits who took this bridge via a dark Glider must have been. I loved this area. Seeing the bridge and trying to imagine the events of June 6 is a historic treat. The Horsa Glider is pretty cool too.

    A great museum packed full of interesting exhibits, a short film and guided tour (included in entry price). So much to see, definitely recommend paying a visit to see this site that was so pivotal to the success of D Day. We were interested to track down a relative who landed in a glider and fought at this site on D Day, and the staff were so helpful to dig out some records - and amazingly we found him. A very moving experience

    Excellent memorial - the commencement of Operation Overlord.
    Well worth a visit. Very informative exhibit that tells the story of the initial moments of Operation Overlord very well. There is also an informative short video, performances alternate between a French and English language viewing. The staff then gave a short tour outside explaining the exhibits and giving more detail and colour to those early events.

    A must see site
    Easy to find, plenty of road signs and ample parking. Discounts for handicapped aren't displayed but we got one when we asked. The museum is larger than we both thought and with more exhibits outside than were apparent. A very interesting experience and a must visit even if only slightly interested in the history of WW2. A cafeteria, even a small one would be a beneficial addition

Family visit with 2 adults and 2 kids aged 15 and 12. Entry price was reasonable and there was lots of parking.
Informative museum to look around before going outside to see various war items such as the real Bridge, air craft, tanks etc. not the biggest museum around but enough to visit for a couple of hours.

Beautiful museum which perfectly retraces this episode of the landing of June 1944. The museum is perfectly arranged with numerous uniforms, weapons etc...perfectly staged. The guided tour is essential to fully understand the issues surrounding the capture of this bridge. The exterior visit is very well commented with precise explanations on the role of Horsa gliders. The artillery pieces are perfectly preserved and well presented.

We stopped here on the way from Ouistreham ferry port to Caen as you literally pass right by it. Glad we did - very interesting museum with plenty of exhibits inside and then a chance to see the original bridge outside along with tanks etc. We knew a little bit about the history of Pegasus Bridge and it was good to learn more about it.

So much history here. The museum is excellent. Standing where the gliders landed near the bridge is a real eye opener. Go over the bridge and visit the cafe, the first building to be liberated on D Day.

The original of the conquered bridge can be seen on the museum grounds. It was placed here when it was replaced due to urgently needed renovation.
The current bridge looks quite similar to the old bridge. The only special thing is the rocker mechanism that comes into play when opening. Without the historical background it wouldn't actually be particularly interesting.

The replacement bridge, wow what an area of history, had to go and watch the longest day film again. Lucky to be there when the bridge opened too.Very well laid out memorial to the brave few.
