Gettysburg Diorama puts before you the whole battle that shaped American history. The incredibly detailed scale model of the battlefield includes more than 20,000 handpainted soldiers, horses, and artillery pieces. The town of Gettysburg, along with its surrounding woods and fields, is recreated to perfectly depict the scene where the famous Civil War battle took place in 1863. You can learn how the battle progressed, hear the stories about generals George Meade and Robert E. Lee, and see clearly how the terrain influenced the troop movements and the outcome. Light and sound effects enhance the experience and make different aspects of the battle easier to understand. Using our custom trip planner, Gettysburg attractions like Gettysburg Diorama can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

I’m not an expert on anything that has to do with war, and coming to Gettysburg to learn about this battle felt a little overwhelming at times. Seeing the diorama puts everything into perspective...

The diorama is something that leaves you speechless. I've never seen anything that size anywhere. There are smaller ones also towards the back and before you do the tour. Big gift shop downstairs smaller one upstairs. Well worth it.

Spiritual successor to the electric map at the old visitor center. Great place to get oriented to the battlefield, especially if you are unfamiliar with it. Presentation lasts about 30 minutes. Just looking at the detail that went into making this display is amazing. Hundreds if not more scaled soldiers and their equipment. The town as it was during the battle. Not sure if little kids would enjoy, the two with me [both under 7] were not into it.

Adult ticket cost $9 each for the 30 minute show. I love their diorama as it showed quality craftsmanship of work.

I really enjoyed the diorama show! Just wish we had more time to view the diorama before showings and maybe have an updated end video. But overall would definitely recommend it.
