What families say

Kids tend to love climbing into cockpits and exploring the decks, with families often staying 2-4 hours (plan for at least 2-2.5 hours if you're doing the self-guided tour thoroughly). Be prepared for steep stairs and low overhangs that make it tricky for little ones or tall adults, and know that tickets are pricey with no listed discounts for kids or AAA. For a deeper dive, ask for staff member David for extra history, look for the family-friendly scavenger hunt, and consider booking special add-on tours like the Roosevelt or propulsion tour in advance if your kids are into naval history.
