We visited the ship and did The Glory Days Tour - tour and history about of ship. It was quite informative and took us into areas unable to be visited on our own. The tour guide was good and entertaining while providing lots of information. We thought we'd be in and out in an hour and had to rush out after 3 hours with still more to see, so plan accordingly. Be aware that tours are timed, so you may have to wait, but there are restaurants and things to see while you wait. Look at the combined ticket with the USS Iowa that's about 15 minutes away for great savings!
