Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

Gabrielle was by far the best guide – super knowledgable and enthusiastic! Will transport you to the 24^th century! Awesome exhibition!!!

Great Museum!!! Took my father for Fathers Day as a gift since he loves anything aviation related. We actually purchased the day of our visit and I was happy to see that Vets are free when attending the museum. If you are not a Vet then plan to spend about 33 dollars if you want general admission and see the submarine. Also, if you want a guided tour that is an extra $ 15 dollars or for an audio tour that is an extra $ 5 dollars.
I would recommend going on a day when we have decent weather such as no rain or not high temperatures.
This is a great place to bring in town visitors that have an interest in Sea, Air, or Space.

A must see when in the city. The USS Intrepid has been designated as World Historic Landmark. The Intrepid fought in the largest naval battle in history, receiving five battle stars for her World War II service. Intrepid was decommissioned in 1974. Young and adults will enjoy the visit and I recommend during weekdays so it is not packed. Very educational.

Here’s something people should know. Some libraries such as the Summit Library in New Jersey have passes available that give you free admission to the Intrepid .They are hard to get but you can take up to 6 people. The admission is $ 26 — think of the savings! Is this worth going to, absolutely. You get to go into a submarine as well and see the Concorde. Lots of fighter planes and the ship is huge. You have a good view of the New York waterfront. A large cruise ship was docked next door. I’d recommend going to the submarine when you see there isn’t a long line. If you have mobility issues, this may not be a good palce to go.

So good! I hadn’t been here in years, I had forgot just how cool it is.
If you or someone in your life likes: space, ships, planes, or military stuff come here now.
So many cool fighter planes, migs, f-16,f-14, also helicopters and even a blackbird aka the xmen plane.
The space shuttle is gigantic and really well presented, too bad you can’t go inside.
The actual air craft carrier is ginormous with so much stuff to explore.
Pro tip, if you see no line for the submarine, go then, the line can get quite long.
Amazing to see how cramped everything is in there.
Thank you to our military vets who served on planes, ships and subs (and land).

Went on a Friday noon in April. No line not crowed until about 2pm. 2^nd time here. Blew off the sub and went straight to the NEW shuttle Enterprise. Everyone was really impressed. I had just spent 6 hrs at NASA in Houston previous month so me not as much.
I preferred the flight deck. Good movie on the hanger deck where they re-​enacted kamikaze attacks complete with real smoke.
Lots of standing and walking without many places to sit down. 2 of the 3 elevators were not working. I had just walked from Central Park so I only lasted about 2 hrs. Didn’t find the food and drinks on a lower deck until late.

I had not been on the Intrepid for over a decade when I was there for a client business event, so having the chance to go back last night during a special food and cocktail event with press passes and having access to the whole ship and flight deck was pretty cool.
Normally it can be a pricey ticket, especially if you add on the extra attractions, but at least if you’re active or retired military admission is free.
It’s one big ass old military ship filled with history and cool stuff to see. Plenty of signage, pictures, video, exhibits, and educational things to read and experience. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Very clean and well kept. One of the cooler museums in NYC.
Walking the flight deck on a perfect evening along the jets, helicopters, and aircraft with the NYC skyline all lit up was a great experience. Plus, it was a treat to get up close to the Grumman and Sikorsky fighter jets and helicopters that my gal’s father and uncle helped build. The F-​14 Tomcat, HH-​52A Sea Guardian, H-​19 Chickasaw, and E-​1B Tracer are a few of them.
If you are a military history buff this floating museum is a must see.

My first impressions of the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum were that (1) it’s meticulously designed to inspire and fascinate school-​age children and (2) it’s been touristified to the point where it’s more of a theme park than a museum – as evidenced by the souvenir photo services and $ 9 simulation rides.
Even if Vietnam-​era aircraft and spacecraft aren’t your cup of tea, the Flight Deck and the Space Shuttle Pavilion have by far the coolest things to see in the entire complex, and coincidentally don’t require waiting in line. If you don’t have time to see anything else, definitely visit these two areas first.
The one-​way traffic in the deck right below the flight deck is particularly slow-​moving, since bottlenecks happen at the steep stairs. The hangar deck has some interesting exhibits, including the fo’c’sle (forecastle), and restrooms. The other decks are considerably less interesting and have a lot of kid-​friendly exhibits and simulation rides that cost extra. The wait time for the Growler was upwards of 30 minutes, so I didn’t bother.
Access to the Space Shuttle Pavilion is an extra $ 7 on top of the already pricey $ 24 base admission, but there are multiple ways to get discounts to one or both without having a CityPASS or visiting as part of a large group:
1. Day pass borrowed from your public library. If your local library shells out $ 500/​year for this pass, you can use it on general admission for up to a party of 6! (savings of $ 20 — $ 120)
2. Free General Admission + Space Shuttle Pavilion access for current and former military + 50% for up to 3 other people in the same transaction with a military or veterans ID (savings of $ 31 — $ 77)
3. $ 20 Groupon for both General Admission + Space Shuttle (savings of $ 11)
4. 20% print-​out or mobile coupon from various websites (savings of $ 4 — $ 6)
Members of museum programs such as the ASTC Travel Passport Program may also have reciprocal access.

If the weather isn’t up for it coming here is a good idea. A great place to take your kids and self, you get to see planes, helicopters, submarines and for an extra fee you get to see the ENTERPRISE. Also you are doing these while on/​by the Intrepid.
Wish they had more hands on for the kids. Also the tickets are pricey.

Fun place to stop in, especially for former sailors.
Didn’t pay to see the space shuttle, long story.

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is like four museums in one pricey package:
* a museum for an aircraft carrier (USS Intrepid)
* a museum for the U.S. submarine Growler (Sea)
* a museum for 28 authentic military aircraft (Air)
* a museum for the space shuttle Enterprise (Space)
So, the unwieldy and long name Intrepid Sea, Air & Space makes sense because it’s a museum including each.

* Purchase tickets in advance for a shorter entrance line
* Adults $ 24; Senior $ 20; Youth $ 19; Child $ 12
* Add Space Shuttle: Adults/​Senior $ 7; Youth/​Child $ 5
* Since the Shuttle costs extra, plan $ 31/​adult
* Use a New York CityPASS ($ 116/​person) to save $
* Guided tours cost $ 20 (adult) or $ 15 (senior/​child)
* Handheld audio tours: $ 5 in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, & German
* Flight simulators are $ 9 each
* The Concorde is only open for private tours
* Download the free iPhone app for the best experience

The Intrepid, Sea, Air & Space Museum is an expensive, but educational way to spend a half-​day on any New York vacation.

A lot has changed at this landmark museum throughout the years. For one, tourist crowds make coming here a challenge. You’ll wait and wait and wait to purchase tickets at the door. Advanced ticket purchases are available online but wait times are no better. You’ll get to explore the USS Intrepid along with the aircraft carrier. Then you can see their newest attraction, the space shuttle USS Enterprise which was the biggest disappointment. They don’t let you inside the space craft, just in a large room with it. The Concorde is no longer open as well. If you want to explore the USS Growler submarine, be prepared for another loooooong line. Once inside, it’s cramped and claustrophobic so keep that in mind but interesting. Admission is obnoxious, $ 24 general admission but the space shuttle and submarine combo is $ 31. Want to do the 4D rides? $ 42!!! Parts of the museum are fascinating but for the most part, it’s a let down and excessive crowds make getting around difficult and uncomfortable. Good place to check out once but not worth coming back.

**IDNYC /​Municipal ID cardholders, capitalize on ASTC reciprocity and flash your NY Hall of Science membership here for free general admission (space shuttle pavilion is still a $ 7 supplement)**
Dug the self-​guided option for everything, and even the line for the submarine was worth it to investigate that thing. Not sure I wouldn’t dock a star for normal admission price, but loved our visit.

I had an opportunity to visit this museum during our quick weekend visit. I had visited here many years ago but this time brought my 13 year old nephew.
It was cold and the weekend after the big snow storm so the crowds were very minimal. The ticket purchase process was seamless. There is one of those tourist photographers who grabs you and takes your photos and then offers you the unique opportunity to purchase them. I purchased them because I really enjoy this museum.
We walked through the submarine, went on deck to look at all the aircrafts. Both of us enjoyed the touring. Take note: there is a tiny hatch in the submarine that you will need to go through, so if you are very large, it might be a challenge.

Aircraft-​carrier-​turned museum with Space Shuttle Enterprise, fighter jets, and spy plane on the flight deck. An inflatable planetarium dome in the hangar deck. In summer, Top Gun on the flight deck.

This is a pretty cool place and as many times as I have been to NYC and even when I lived here in the 90’s, I never did a full tour of the place. This has everything from the Space Shuttle tour of the Enterprise which is housed here permanently to all sorts of aircraft from WWII, Vietnam and even modern times. You can also walk around the entire ship, go on flight simulators and 4D rides and they even have a huge hands on exhibit for kids to play on various naval structures. You can see a ton of things throughout the ship and it is a self guided tour or you can buy a tour or recording to take you through. I would leave yourself like 2 – 3 hours to read everything. Bring your wallet to this place though, for a family of 4 of us, this place cost us $ 79 which includes the extra space shuttle experience which only amounts to seeing the actual space shuttle. Not a bad place to visit but the cost should of been more reasonable. You can always add this to one of those Go NYC tickets at a cheaper rate since adult rates regular price are $ 30.

Awesome place to spend with the family on a Sunday afternoon. Staff was very helpful and resourceful. Museum was very clean even after the storm this past weekend. Awesome experience, highly recommend !

One of my favorite museum in new york city. We went on a very cold day. It’s freezing on the deck especially when we tried to snap a picture of the planes. But, the most of the display is indoor. Overall, great experience!

Very unique and educational museum. The Intrepid was formerly a military aircraft carrier that has been turned into a museum. You get to wander through the entire place including the control room, the outside turrets, on the deck… literally everywhere on this massive ship. There are a bunch of interactive games inside the main interior hall of the Intrepid too. And on the deck of the ship are a large collection of American jets from throughout history.
And that’s not all. You also get to see the following:
–USS Growler — This is Cold War era submarine you get to walk through. I was amazed at how complex the controls inside looked and also how small the sleeping bunk beds are.
–Concorde — Go inside possibly the most famous passenger airliner in history. It was amazing how narrow this thing is on the inside.
–Space Shuttle Enterprise — This is the latest addition to the museum. Though you do not get to walk inside it, you will get to go under and around it and see artifacts from this vessel that was pivotal for the NASA space program.
In my opinion, one of the top five best museums in NYC.

They close the submarine early without notice. I asked if i can come in some other time just to see submarine, they didnt care. I emailed and asked for a discounted ticket because i couldnt see the sub and in summary, they replied back saying no.
Funny that an adult is complaining about this, I know, but it ruined my experience.

I love the Intrepid Museum.
This was my second visit here, but so much time had passed since my first visit. It was like a new visit again.
My prevailing memory from my first visit was we were there the same day the Concord arrived, in 2003. And we went for H&H bagels with cream cheese across the road after we were done. Good times. H&H has since ceased to exist sadly.
This visit we saw the concord from a much closer distance. We also got to go into a submarine, as well as getting up close and personal to the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Marvellous.
Staff at the front of house were very friendly and enthusiastic. Not so much in one particular café down below. Can’t say I blame them, if I’m honest.
Special mention to the volunteer servicemen who man the various points throughout the museum that can tell you how life was for them during service. It’s a real insight. And they are very engaging. Asking where you are from and offering anecdotes to suit what you say. It’s appreciated.
Highly recommend. Well worth the entrance fee.

We decided to go see the Intrepid Museum with our New York Pass, which was really cool! It was easy to travel to from Times Square on one of the buses. There was a separate line for us, and we even got the free audio tour with the pass. We went through security rather quickly, and got the ticket. We did not have the Shuttle pavilion or any of the motion stuff, but it was fine. All of the things on display was very cool and interesting! Both my boyfriend and my brother were really hooked! We went first on the submarine tour since we figured it could get really busy later on in the day. It was a little wait for about 15 – 20 minutes, and then we got to go on the tour. The tour guide told us that we would have 15 minutes total to go through the entire submarine since others were waiting as well. We got to see the inside and read about the different compartments inside the submarine. I’m amazed how people were able to live in such tiny spaces!
We then went onto the Intrepid and saw the different airplane models and read about the history of the Intrepid during the WWII and the Cold War. They had a section about the Vietnam War as well. Would definitely love to come back here in the future!

Great exhibit if you’re into that sort of thing. Most of the exhibits are on the deck of the WW2 carrier in the open, so keep that in mind if you’re visiting when it’s bad weather.
Location of the final resting place of the SS orbiter Enterprise. Seeing the space shuttle was just amazing. Lots of information and history in the space shuttle pavilion as well. Well worth the extra ticket. Could have easily just come here for that.

Every year, I take my students to this Museum. I think it is a great way to educate kids on submarines and many different historic planes. It is very interactive since you can actually board the submarine and explore the inside. Keep in mind that you need to be a certain height to be able to go inside the submarine since you’ll be required to walk over some doorways that look like big portholes.
There is an upper flight deck where you can see most of the fighter planes and during the summer it can get hot so I would advise everyone to wear a hat!
We were a class of 20 kids so we had a personal tour guide and I highly recommend it for a group.
TIPS:
–Do not forget to take a map.
–Start at the flight deck and work your way down.
–Bring a camera.
–Wear comfortable shoes.

Great Place to vist. Very educational information and an enjoyable day! So many great views of the city. a wonderful place for photographs.
If you don’t want to eat at the Museum there are plenty of restaurants nearby. This is a neighborhood with historic for establishments!
Be prepared to buy tickets. Take family and friends, have lunch. Feel the history! I wouldn’t go during fleet week though!
Like others have said, it’s expensive, long lines, go early and get tickets in advance. Some things not allowed for small children. I’d say age 12 and older would appreciate this museum the most.

My husband and I got free tickets for the Smithsonian Magazine weekend, otherwise tickets are quite expensive. We really enjoyed our time there and it really is a full day out, there is so much to see.
Our highlights were the submarine, which you can board and look around, the planes of the top of the intrepid and the space shuttle (extra $ 7). Also the Concorde!
It is shocking to think all this is in NYC and I didn’t realize there was so much to see. If you have an interest in planes or space you will enjoy this. I would dedicate an entire day to it in order to see everything.

Must see for those who love airplanes.
I’ve been wanting to visit here for the last three years and past two years, I got so close but something came up and I couldn’t visit. This summer finally my chance to visit this very impressive museum came and I was more than excited. Since I failed to visit for the past two times, I opted not to purchase a ticket online ahead of time but those with set schedule, I highly recommend to purchase ticket ahead of time to save yourself from standing in line for a long time. For those with unsure schedule, try to arrive as early as possible as line tends to be shorter early in the morning.
Museum with depth of information and display inside and outside. I learned so much history from this museum. I think I ended up spending 3 – 4 hours here as they had so much to see and learn.
If you purchase a separate ticket to the Space Shuttle Pavilion, I recommend downloading their free app Intrepid to fully enjoy the pavilion. They offer free wifi for those foreign visitors in need of Wif to download app. This app helped me navigate inside the Pavilion. When I visited, they had a temporary display of HUBBLE. I was very intrigued about the HUBBLE during my visit to the Kennedy Space Center, I enjoyed additional information I was able to learn from this display.
Visiting inside the Submarine was very interesting too. I have so much respect for those seaman. I recommend stopping by there first as you come in as the line got so long in the afternoon.
I appreciate BA is loaning a beautiful concord and preserving the beautiful aircraft. Traveling on concord was my dream, unfortunately I never had chance to do so. It was so nice to be able to see the aircraft so close.
I saw many visitors with nice camera taking pictures of aircraft. I was impressed by many of well mannered fellow photographers as they realized they are not the only photographer and was conscious of others trying to take the same picture.
Come early and enjoy a piece of history.

Amazing aircraft carrier, museum, facilities!
Pros: Super clean place, restoration is kept as the ship stood when it was once operational.
Waiting line flows quick for admission, staff are very attentive and aware of people walking around the ship at all times.
— Perfect location, this is a all day event, plan ahead, show up early because it will take the whole day walking, moving around, taking pictures.
— Parking: Pier 83, close to 43^rd st. has a affordable parking, $ 30.00 average.
— Amazing pictures can be taken from top of the aircraft carrier. Inside the ship and within the submarine (its a long line for the submarine but its worth it)
— Get out of all the Manhattan craziness and enjoy some quality time with your family and significant other.
— Price may seem expensive, but if you look at the bigger picture its a aircraft carrier attached to the pier in Manhattan. Regardless if young or old, its a unique experience, we did the tour on our last day and were running against the clock and regret not have done this earlier on our vacation to NY.
Cons:
— Long waiting line for the submarine
— One cannot go inside the space shuttle. Its contained on a air conditioned facility on the flight deck, but there is no entrance to the spacecraft itself.
— Parking can get expensive for only a few hours, yes, expect $ 30.00 or more.
(use the site, Bestparking, to get last minute deals, every penny counts.
— A lot of walking, its a big ship and many tight spaces inside the submarine.
— Flight deck gets super hot after 12pm on a sunny day, there is a reason it is called steel beach.
— Be VERY careful when walking up and down the stairs inside the skin of the ship, remember, one hand for you, one for the ship. Store your smartphone and use both hands just in case to hold on to the rails when moving between decks.
Overall:
It is so sad the Big Bus, hotel brochures, NY tourist guides do not advertise this museum much more. This should be one of the must do for any tourist in NY.
The place is super clean, all items kept in its vintage pristine condition, friendly helpful staff.
Attention to detail, they even have a scale model of the ship made out of lego, 250,000 pieces!
The only thing is, I wished they would have left the flight deck a little more open as a landing pad, and have one, instead of multiple jets, lined up straight with the flight path. Maybe figures simulating the action of receiving or guiding the jet during landing or take off. One specific focal point, not just a bunch of jets in the top main deck.
Five stars!

Where to go if your nephews don’t like art /​museum, shopping, garden and parks but you need to take them out? Military and war stuff!
You get the idea how big is 1960s aircraft carrier, they also have fighter jets, simulators and interactive games. The boys end up loving it and my dad who usually not fond of outdoor activities and museum actually listen to their audio tour guide.
It’s a bit expensive but this museum is a great choice for family fun!

Beyond a museum, you get to tour a decommissioned aircraft carrier. The flight deck has a couple dozen planes and helicopters to see. The hangar deck has a bunch of exhibits and a lot of hands on things for kids to do. My 9 year old daughter wasn’t interested in the planes, but she loved the exhibits. We skipped the sub tour due to time constraints. We also skipped the shuttle exhibit as we’ve seen it in both Los Angeles and at the Kennedy Space Center.
We had NY passes and bypassed most of the lines, but we probably waited 20 minutes to get our tickets. I’m guessing the regular line may be double that. Note, the nearest subway stop is about 5 long blocks. We walked down, but needed to über back to make another destination.

Great Experience!!!
From the USS growler submarine to being on the USS Intrepid and seeing all the vintage planes used in different wars/​causes of American History. Breathtaking.
This is a large, open space with lots to see, do and read. There is an interactive/​hands on section inside which is great for kids or the kid in us all. There is lego to scale of the USS Intrepid which is pretty cool to see.
The old jumpseats were incredible to see– and think, they were ejected at one time from thousands of feet above. (wow!!)
A documentary movie is available but I couldn’t wait to go out on deck and see the planes. The spaceship shuttle is also here now.
One tip– SKIP THE HIGH HEELS ladies. Saw two women faceplant down the steep. metal stairs.

Das Intrepid See, Luftfahrt und Weltraum-​Museum befindet sich an Bord des im Hudson festgemachten Flugzeugträgers Intrepid (USS Intrepid (CV/​CVA/​CVS-​11)). Die Intrepid wurde am 26 April 1943 vom Stapel gelassen und am 23 February 1982 außer Dienst gestellt. Das Schiff ist eine amerikanische Ikone, da sie sowohl im II. Weltkrieg, als auch in Vietnam zum Einsatz kam sowie zum ‘Einsammeln’ von Mercury– und Gemini-​Raumkapseln der NASA eingesetzt wurde.
Im Hangardeck des 265m langen Trägers befindet sich eine sehenswerte Ausstellung zum Thema Luftfahrt und zum Schiff selbst. Auf dem Flugdeck sind Flugzeuge ausgestellt. Wer hierfür einen Faible hat wird echte Schmuckstücke finden, so z.B.: F-​14, Harrier, MIG 21, A-​12 (Vorgänger der SR 71) sowie eine Concorde (auf dem Pier) um nur wenige zu nennen. In einem weiteren geschlossenen Hangar auf dem Flugdeck wird zusätzlich (und für Aufpreis) das Spaceshuttle Enterprise ausgestellt.
Der Besuch des Kommandoturms ist ebenfalls möglich, wo Veteranen der USS Intrepid bereitwillig Auskunft geben. Zusätzlich hat am Pier der Intrepid noch eine U-​Boot festgemacht, die USS Growler (Außerdienststellung 1964), welche in der Lage war Marschflugkörper zu starten.
Mir hat das Museum sehr gut gefallen und war m.E. mit 24 $ Eintritt fair bepreist, jedoch sollte der Besucher schon eine gewisse Technikaffinität mitbringen, sonst könnte es ggf. langweilig werden.

This has long been on my list of museums to visit, and it definitely did not disappoint. Arrived around 11:30am on a Sunday with beautiful weather, and there was a line with maybe 20 people ahead of us for the security checkpoint. We waited in the general admission line; they allow people with the NYC City Pass (and other similar programs) and will call tickets to bypass a lot of the general admission line, and skip ahead of those waiting to buy tickets. Once we figured that out, we bought tickets on our phone, and probably saved at least 20 minutes waiting in the ticket line.
The first stop was the Growler submarine, which had another line to wait in, but we figured we might as well hit it up first, before the place got any more crowded. The only downside about this place is that you move as fast as the groups in front of you, since the walkways (understandably) are very narrow.
The rest of the museum is vast, open, easy to navigate (with the exception of some very narrow and steep staircases). If you’re looking for a fun afternoon adventure that’ll last maybe 2 – 3 hours, hit this place up.

L’Intrepid Museum. Un lieu sympa à faire pour toutes personnes passionnées (ou non) de l’aviation américaine, de la marine américaine.
Musée qui se visite en plusieurs parties: Une partie «hangar» avec l’histoire de ce célèbre Porte Avion l’INTREPID, Une partie attractive avec plusieurs simulateurs (payable soit à l’avance au guichet en prenant un pass tout compris, soit directement sur le lieu du simulateur .) attractions plutôt sympa et ludiques.
Dans cette même partie vous aurez aussi la possibilité de monter dans un hélicoptère, un cockpit de supersonique et de découvrir tout un tas d’informations intéressantes.
La troisième partie vous amènera sur la piste de décollage du porte avion. Ici, plus de piste en service mais un parking pour ces avions et hélicoptères ayant servis à plusieurs missions. Vous verrez même le Blackbird stationné. Pas de possibilité de monter à l’intérieur mais de jolies photos et souvenir en perspective .
Sur ce même parking, au fond, vous aurez la possibilité d’observer de l’extérieur l’original de la navette spatiale. Une exposition y est aussi dédiée pour retracer son épopée.
La quatrième partie sera l’intérieur même du porte avion. La visite des cabines, des cuisines, du poste de commandement etc… Intéressant aussi.
Possibilité de visiter aussi le concorde en payant un surplus supplémentaire. A demander lors de votre passage en caisse.
Un dernier conseil, optez pour l’audio guide. La visite n’en sera que plus intéressante car plus complète. Dispo en version française.
Prévoir une grande partie de la journée pour tout faire. Mais si vous souhaitez faire la découverte en temps limité, le plan vous indiquera les parties les plus importantes à visiter de façon express.

It’s spring break, the nephews are here, got a whole week, what should we do? Time to take advantage of our Cool Culture card we got from the school and go places for free! For the fifth spot of the week, we decided on the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
This…place…is…totally…AWESOME! Jaw dropping, extremely fascinating exhibits! My advice would be to get on Submarine Growler exhibit first, it is located right next to the entrance and the lines can get very long when the larger crowds rolls in.
After that, go all the way up to the Flight Deck and work your way down. Their aircraft collection is amazing. There were cool ones with designs, some restored but all in great condition. Real aircrafts that once flew high up in the air with ones dated back as old as 1940s! Next floor down, make sure to bring the kids to the Hanger Deck. Lots of hands on fun and great ride ons for photos. There were a couple of games and more beautiful aircrafts on the floor.
Keep working your way down, walk through and experience how life of our sailors were when out in the sea. Long narrow hallways, tight bunk beds with only enough space to roll in and lay down. Just the massive ship itself is pretty impressive. If you plan to come around this time, make sure to bring an extra sweater, because it can get real chilly since its right on the river. Expect to stay for about at least 2 hours so you can get to go through everything.

4^th of July
Now I am not fan of Pyrotechnics because each time a poof goes off I can’t help but think of how many goats it could have purchased for a dying village. That being said we thought, when in ROME.
We purchased our tickets, (not a good idea to turn up to NY thinking you might get some COS YA WONT) online before the trip and I really have to say it was an expierence I will never forget. there were 1000 of us on there and drinks were a plenty, history lesson on the battleship at hand and marching bands, hotdogs (good ones) water display manoeuvres from water first responders and then the show itself. I’ll never forget it.

Pour les amateurs de technologie, c’est un magnifique musée.
Il y a un porte-​avion en premier lieu, un sous marin, plusieurs avions de chasse, plusieurs hélicoptères de combat, le concorde, un furtif et une navette spatiale.
De quoi passer une bonne matinée et faire une centaine de photos.

Gutes Museum. Sehr interessante Flugzeuge.
Man bekommt nen Eindruck vom Flugzeugträger.
Auch toll: Man kann ein Uboot besichtigen ;-)
Unbedingt den 4D Simulator (9 D) mitmachen und gut festhalten :-) Getränke 2,50 sind etwas teuer daher besser dabei haben. Souvenirshop: Preis ganz erschwinglich Tshirt so um die 30 Dollar.

Pour les amateurs d’avions, d’armée & co: à né pas manquer!
Sur un grand porte avion hors service (L’Intrepid), on trouve sur le pont une collection d’avion de chasse et notamment l’exceptionnel SR-​71 (prototype). On peut également visiter un concorde. A l’intérieur du porte avion, on visite le porte avion et un musée.

Ein supergut gemachtes Museum! Etwas hochpreisig im Eintritt (USD 24, – ), ist aber fast jeden Dollar wert.
Die Warteschlange war kürzer als im Empire State Building, obs am Zeitpunkt, Samstagvormittag, lag?
Zuerst haben wir die Kommandobrücke und das Ruderhaus besichtigt, wo ein Kriegsveteran sich ausfragen ließ. Er ist heute immer noch fast täglich als Freiwilliger auf dem Schiff und macht dort die anfallenden Reparaturen. Danach haben wir das Vorschiff mit den Mannschaftsünterkünften und den Ankertauen besichtigt.
Dann ging es auf das Flugdeck, wo eine umfangreiche Flugzeugausstellung aufegebaut ist. Leider waren keine WK II Flugzeuge zu sehen, fast nur aus der Zeit nach dem 2. WK und dem Vietnamkrieg. Meine persönliche Sensation war allerdings die SR-​71, das m.W. schnellste jemals gebaute Flugzeug (ca. Mach 4). Toll!
Es waren einige russiche Mig und sogar ein britischer Harrier (Senkrechtstarter) zu sehen. Das modernste Flugzeug war eine F16.
Danach gingen wir zum Hangardeck, wo eine große Nasa-​Ausstellung aufgebaut war. Klar, das dort nur total stolze Amerikaner rumliefen.
Das nebenan liegende U-​Boot haben wir uns geschenkt, der Zeitplan geriet sonst ins Wanken.
