Best War museum in belgium

D	Davy van delsen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A place that makes you shiver... Nicely done, gives you the feeling you van safely relive the war in the trenches. Explains visualy to children why we have to avoid another war. Lovely view with the poppies. Toilets are available in the visitor centre but where not clean.
J	J Snider on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A complete trench network, it is larger than it initially looks. Small museum to go along with it that is well done. The trenches are in good shape and easy to explore for most people.
M	Michael Miller on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a pretty good museum. The indoor displays are small. The trenches are, of course, much neater and cleaner than they were so that tourists don't get too dirty. The trenches could use some signage to show how different parts functioned, etc.
K	Kim Blok on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive to visit, the photos of the soldiers in WW1 give you an idea of the life in the trenches. Minus is that the opening hours are unclear. We have been here several times outside the holidays, although it should have been open according to the openinghours information board, it seems closed all the time.
D	Darren Gilbert on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came to Dodengang as part of a whistlestop tour of some of the WW2 sites around Calais - what appealed to us was seeing trenches and getting a sense of what they were like. This relatively small site is very well preserved and tells the story of what went on here well - definitely worth a visit!
K	Klaas Koster on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good to do once, but expected a bit more information and actual situations in the trenches for the 5,- income
M	MJ de Jong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After visiting any museum about WW1 , this gives you a real close experience of how life in the trenches felt like. Walking through these trenches you can feel the silence, the distress it must have caused.
D	Davy M. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A historical place that you need to visit. Very friendly people at the reception. It can be a bit muddy (but totally not like during 14-18 i assume). Not a location to walk with high heels and bling bling clothing. Highly recommend.
