We originally wanted to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame across the street and came across the U.S.S. Cod by chance. "We" includes my husband and myself along with our 1 year old and 4 year old boys. We figured the sub tour would be more interactive and fun for the family (and cheaper). We were pleasantly... more

This museum was such a fabulous surprise. I thought it would be something only my husband (who's a history/military enthusiast) and young nephews would appreciate. However, I am a 44 year old woman who enjoyed every moment! It really is something you must see while in Cleveland. The museum offers free parking and a nominal $7 entrance fee! Please take... more

Thsi authentic WW2 submarine has been preserved as authentic as possible. With the exception of taking out the periscope, everthing inside is as it was when in service. each section of the sub offers a recorded audio explanation of its role. You really get the sense of what serving on the sub felt like; the narrow, low clearance walkways; the... more

Yes, I've been to the USS Cod for seven years, I am a volunteer peacetime crew member, and I give tours to any one who would like one and groups. The Cod is alive... not just a collection of metal. The boat's metal is permeated with the terrors and joys these men who served aboard this grand Lady of WWII... more

I went to the USS Cod Sub today because of the tripadvisor reviews I had read. It was a really neat experience. Cost was only $7 all of which goes to keep the exhibit open. I loved being able to experience what it would be like to be in one of those. Though I didn't have children with me, I... more

It's doen't really matter if you're into WWII, submarines, or the Navy, this place is super cool. You can actually walk around a WWII sub basically unfettered. You even have to climb down a hatch to get into the sub just like they did during WWII. It's $6. SIX BUCKS, to walk around a piece of history. I've been there... more

WW2 submarine is so cool & amazing. I am 26 year old, female & loved every mintue of it. Yes, you have to duck your head, climb up & down ladders, fit through tight places but just imagine having the sub underwater moving, as you run through these small holes & work your butt off. Ya, you can't imagine it,... more

If you are in the Cleveland area and you have plans to go to the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame and/or the Sceince Center, you must see this. This is a block away from both of the mentioned attractions. You can spend as little or as much time as you would like. Plan on 30 minutes. When you pay for admission,... more

My family visited the USS Cod during a June vacation to Niagara Falls. The self-guided tour of the submarine was amazing. Reading and listenting to how the sailors lived on the submarine was very interesting. There are very steep ladders and many arease where an adult would need to duck his/her head to get from point A to point B,... more
