I had little pre-knowledge about battleships or life on them. This ship is huge. Start out by watching the video presentation in the first area that you come to on the ship. You can pick up a free visitor's tour guide at admission and decide your routes on the ship. Afterwards, walk over to the submarine and go through it.... More

The fact that you can walk on and in the ship gives you a sense of what it would be like to live on it. The enormous size of it is impressive! More

We really enjoyed this tour, but it is a long tour. So you should be prepared for a long walk and some stair climbing. More

Take your time exploring this historic battleship, as well as the submarine USS Drum, the aircraft pavillion, and the many planes and armor vehicles on display. Great attraction for adults and children. More

The battleship is great for children of all ages. Enjoy the history while still having a fun experience. Every child needs to go. Pack your lunch and have a great picnic in the field. It isn't very pricey for a fun family day. When your done, don't forget to stop by the restaurants on the causeway. If you want quality... More

The first thing that strikes you as you enter the battleship grounds is that huge grey battleship that towers over you. I loved the display of the flights, the helicopters and the tanks. The sad part was that we got in right when they were closing up so we couldn't get on to the battleship. But we will be back.... More

I have passed by this attraction a number of times throughout the years and never really had a chance to stop, but in this last visit I finally was able too and I must say, it is well worth the price of addmision. And depending on how much time you have, you certainly could spend the day lost within the... More

Great history experience. Excellent access to a WWII/Korean War Battleship. The air craft hanger is excellent as well. The submarine was over the top - an amazing lesson on what the living conditions would be like on a sub. Overall great attraction - we'll go back and spend more time. More
