Visitors enter the National World War I Museum via a long ramp that leads them below ground. Patrons experience a psychological transition from their daily lives and have the opportunity to focus on the gravity and scope of the war. Inside the museum, they cross a glass bridge from the lobby to the main exhibit hall and have one last view of the tower through skylights. On the glass bridge, visitors pass over a field of 9,000 red poppies, each representing 1,000 combat fatalities from World War I.
The Country Club Plaza offers 14 blocks of shopping amid beautiful Spanish architecture, fountains and statues.
