The Missouri River flood of 2011 hurt this place badly. The boat dock was wiped out, many of the ships and helicopters partially submerged by the river and now caked in mud. A barrier now sits in the middle of the road leading to the park - no signs of reopening.

My family and I loved how authentically open the collection is, it isn't behind glass windows or secluded to unclear view. We loved the fact that includes so much untold history. We enjoyed the visiting with the gentlemen, specially with Bill, who passed away a little while ago. Definitely worth visiting many times.

I like everything about our waters and what goes in them and on them. The history that is there makes my head spin.

Unfortunately, whatever has happended, it appears as though this is now being sadly neglected which is different since my last visit early last year. There are signs up to say the park is closed and equipment has been removed. It looks as though the adjacent river may have dried up as well as I am sure there used to be... More

This is a really cool place to go to. When they open again I'm sure it will be a great place to go again. Last year they closed because of all of the flooding on the Missiouri River. There is a lot of Miliary History there..

Poor road, run down displays, closed access. Don't bother trying to see the USS Hazard or the USS Marlin submarine - both were closed.

Was a little hard to find. Was closed due to flood. However there gentleman who was there working on the ship, gave us some information- the displays are being moved to a new sight, there is ongoing work on the displays. The kids found the displays interesting, but were disappointed that we couldn't tour the sub and ship.

I found this really unique to the city. I had not heard of this before until I was in Omaha last time. My friend took me there and it was a surprise. Anyone who was in the Military would like this or if you have a love for boats.
