Travel Review At Battleship Cove BY JESSICA LAYNE www.allthingsnewengland.com Recently my kids and I drove down to Battleship Cove in Fall River, Massachusetts to meet up with the Boy Scouts for what was promised to be a weekend of fun, adventure, and a cool overnight experience aboard the USS Massachusetts. To be truthful with you, initially, I was skeptical about... more

Where else can you crawl around a real battleship? So I bonked my head a few times , it was worth it. Actually being on the ship and seeing the massive guns and armour gives a sense of power that books or movies never can. The other ships were also facinating, especially the russian patrol boat. I have heard that... more

My favorite things to do on the USS Massachusetts battleship is to see the photos, artwork and artifacts of the PT boat groups, and also to just stand on the deck and see the massive cannons and just imagine what it was like to be there during a battle. This place also happens to be a big attraction for kids,... more

We fully enjoyed our stop at the Battleship Cove. I though we would be a bit more limited while visiting, but was pleasantly surprised we could venture in the sub and ships as we wanted. Took many many pictures, there are no restrictions! I don't think there is anything quite like this place. We were lucky that we were virtually... more

I have been to Battleship Cove many times and everytime I visit it gets better. This spot is tucked underneath the main bridge in Fall River and contains a plethora of ships, activities and even a helicoper museum filled with all sorts of exhibits. The main attraction is of course the Battleship Massachusetts. The best part about this place is... more

We were on our way to the Cape for the first time, and I just happened to be flipping through the AAA tour book as we were passing through Fall River. This is a must-see. Where else can you board a battleship and submarine and walk through every little nook and cranny? We met some WW2 vets while here as... more

My wife, 3 children and I went to Battleship Cove over the 4th of July weekend. It's a nice attaction and the kids enjoyed touring the Battleship Massachusetts, the Destroyer Joeseph P. Kennedy, the Sub Lionfish, and a East German ship. The price isn't bad ... they provide AAA discounts, and they have reasonable prices on food inside the attraction.... more

An excellent few hours to stop. You can climb in, on and through all the ships, and the submarine. It was very fun for me and my husband (two adults with no children!)We rested on the beds, sat at the guns, walked the decks, and nearly killed ourselves trying not to hit our heads walking through the doorways in the... more

It's worth a short detour on the way to Cape Cod on Route 195. Located under the Braga Bridge is Battleship Cove. The home of the USS Massachusetts, a WWII era battleship, a destroyer, submarine and other exhibts, all open to visitors. Marine Museum, with a large Titanic exhibit is right down the street. Kids with love climbing all over... more
