If you are a history buff you are gonna be like a kid in a candy store and if you are not you will enjoy your time here. Went on a weekday at opening time and purchase my ticket there. There were no crowds and that works for me. It's a self guided tour but there are veterans that will welcome you and give a bit of information.

There are some parts closed to the public because of safety issues from some damage that the ship has endure. You really shouldn't mind because there is plenty to see.

Read moreVery fun experience, very cool to see how the sailor’s lifestyle was! It is really great to see Veterans walking around. Like the older ones, because they wear their hats with pride on what ship they served on. It’s very fun to speak with them and listen to what they have to say, because you see that they are prideful and they are just adorable!🥺🫶🏾
P.S: The smell inside is awful. It gave me and my girlfriend a headache after spending an hour or two inside. The smell is like an old candle wax smell and it’s very strong. It does get pretty warm inside as well. So the temperature and the smell is just a horrible mix. I suggest to bring ibuprofen and some water. Even wearing a neck fan
P.S.S I would have attached more photos, but the...
