![]() ![]() We had a hard time finding parking at first. We did notice some things blocked off but it was still very enjoyable. I read on their site that some areas would be closed because of COVID. So I’d say anywhere from 1.5-3 hours would be what to plan on. we kept going sometimes when I would have stopped and explored/read a little more. Adults could’ve probably spent a little more time, but the teenager didn’t stop as much. Enjoyed by everyone in our group from teenager to 60s. They have little descriptions in most places to let you know what your looking at (or not if it’s obvious). You just follow the yellow lines all throughout. Its pretty well marked on how to get around. I like that so you can either move faster or stop whenever you want. They give you a little info when you first board, tell you how to go about touring, then you’re on your own. There are about 10-15 free parking spots for the museum. Drive back in the lot towards the museum. There is an entrance gate farther down the street to the parking lot. There is limited free parking if you go past the museum and continue on the one way Marine drive. Docents are on board to answer questions but they all seem to be congregated on the destroyer and none on the other boats they should be spread out more.Īdmission is $16/adult and $10/youth (under five is free). Another thing that could be improved is the positioning of the docents. The stairs on the boats are steep and not the easiest to climb up and down. If you have small kids, moving between boats and the floors of the boats can be a little bit dangerous. Finally, you move from the cruiser to the sub, where you can see the entire submarine. Would be nice to have the option to go to the bridge floor. The tour next moves to the cruiser, which is the largest boat but you can only tour one floor of the boat, which is disappointing. The tour starts in the destroyer and the entire destroyer boat is open to tour. Didn’t actually like this method as you couldn’t take a break from touring the boats without starting all over from the beginning. ![]() The tour route connects all boats instead of touring one, getting off, and touring the next one. There is a destroyer, a guided middle cruiser, and a sub all from the World War II era. Rare chance to see so many navy boats in one location without visiting a coastal city. A lot to see here in three different kind of boats. ![]()
