What families say

Families consistently rave about self-guided access to explore both the battleship and the USS Drum submarine up close, including climbing through gun turrets and cramped sub quarters—plan on two to three hours to see it all thoroughly. It's praised as a hands-on history lesson, giving kids a real sense of shipboard life and WWII-era logistics, and there are also planes to see outside. One practical tip: bring your own water, since it's pricey on board, especially in summer heat.
