Traveler reviews
Quite the Experience
This was a great experience. My significant other & I are both retired military (Navy) & were thoroughly engrossed with all the history. The individual audio devices were extremely helpful & much appreciated. We were there 2 hrs & could've easily stayed another 3 (but we had a previous engagement that we needed to be at). If in the area again, we will definitely visit again.
Stepping back in time
Great visit with informational touring
Enjoyable Tour
Nice to be on a ship like this. You got to see all the important aspects of the ship and how it operated. One minor frustration was that the planes on deck never had a date on them so you never know which era they were from. Really like the statue of the couple kissing nearby. Food on the ship was tasty.
What An Experience!
We loved it! It was amazing hearing stories of people who fought for our country. The top deck was our favorite.
Great Experience
It was a great experience! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the ship and the flight deck with all the jets. Took plenty of pics for memories. Thank you for a great experience!
