If you're ever in the area, this is a great place to stop. Make sure you plan to be there for a few hours. We went 2 hours before closing and it definitely wasn't enough to take in all the historical nostalgia. I couldn't believe how many different compartments there were...we got lost in the maze. The fact that you... more

This is a very worthwhile historic site. We spent over four hours here, including lunch (fish and chips, of course). There are several ships/subs to go in and explore. There are other sites in the area, too. Lovely town, beautiful (real) ships. Well worth the trip! I think we used our AAA discount, but I'm not positive as I'm not... more

Great Stop

My boyfriend and I recently went to Battleship Cove. It was so much fun to tour all of the ships! You get to go almost everywhere in them. Wear good shoes and be prepared to walk a lot. We spent several hours there and could have certainly spent more. Kids will love it, adults will love it. A deal at... more

We visited Battleship Cove during our stay in New England. I found it very interesting, particularly seeing the Russian ship alongside all the American ones. There are enough ships that the attraction doesn't feel overcrowded when it's busy, though it can be a little irritating having a large group immediately before or after you as you go round. The canteen... more

Visited here with my wife and son recently and had a very enjoyable time. It was interesting to able to actually go in the bowels of the ships and submarine and to imagine what our war heroes had to endure at sea. Sprinkled with photos and artifacts, it was laid out in as original condition as possible. The PT boats... more

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
