The movie (s) were excellent (cant recall if just one movie) as are the 2 museums. We got a good look at the 2 museums which are small and easy to navigate.We then drove the entire route around the grounds and got out a few times to walk around and take pics so a couple of hours if you want to do it all. You don't need the audio guide, we got it but shut it off as we would not have finished in time. We got there mid afternoon maybe 2 PM or so. The museums/buildings close at 430 and the park closes at 5 so we really had to hustle. Most people do not do the drive around the park but we always do that at all the Civil War sites we visit. We then went over to the cemetery which closes at 5 and spent maybe 15 minutes just walking around. So we really had to hustle. But we felt we saw it all.
