We stumbled across the Battleship North Carolina after driving South from Topsail Island one day, and it ended up being one of the highlights from our vacation. The battleship was HUGE and pretty much every inch of it, inside and out, was available to tour. Seeing where our brave soldiers slept, ate and even did laundry was really neat. It... more

For the enthusiast, allow three or four hours per walk through and/or plan a few trips to take it all in. It's mind boggling to see the technology and engineering that went into building this and chilling to be in the presence of such history where unforgettable memories were made. This is an amazing attraction that revives the American spirit.... more

My parents first took me there in the early 1970s during a family vacation. It was one of those experiences I would never forget. I returned 20 years later with my... more

It is definetly worth the time and money. Even my 19 month old had a great time looking and touching everything. Make sure you throw some... more

My husband & I spent 2.5 hrs touring the battleship. The self-guided tour was well marked. Lots of stairs & ladders to climb. more

So I was wondering how walking around an old ship would be worth the time and $. I am so glad we did it. It was really warm inside which took away from the enjoyment factor, but reminded me of the sacrifices our men gave for freedom. At one part it read that the guys working in the laundry section... more

This is the second time I have been to the USS North Carolina. The last time I was a teenager 20+ years ago and now I brought my son and wife to tour this historic vessel. It is a self-guided tour with clearly marked arrows. It is very interesting with a descriptive sign for each area including memory quotes from... more
