My family had an absolutely amazing time. We were able to explore all the floors. The kids had fun in the kids corner with the intrepid. The staff is very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions and share some stories.The real size of the space shuttle was wevy impressive.Then we explained the submarine. I was stunned with the mission duration and how that affects the crew mentality, again very knowledgeable staff everywhere around.
Simply WOWWWWWW the history at this museum is beyond belief! The submarine was so freaking cool! This is MUST! A real MUST! And I work in the city and I still think it’s one of the coolest places. The views are also incredible. We stayed there a whole day until it closed because of how mesmerized we were with everything! This is for people of all ages, I promise everyone will enjoy it! There is even an interactive area. Will go back again.
This place is a fantastic museum for navy 🎖️ , air force ✈️, and army 🪖 enthusiasts! The Intrepid is a gigantic vessel docked ⚓ in the Hudson River 🌊 near the Hudson Yards that is the size of the Chrysler Building and converted into a giant multilevel museum! Visit the large place carrier for a close view of many historical planes 🛩️ and a walk through the entire ship 🚢! They also have a flight simulator 🛫 for an extra charge 🎟️ that is really fun! I wish I came here earlier!
Great museum, wish I was taken to this as a child I would have been like in a candy shop! Walk around a good percentage of the ship (main parts are all open) deck including all the planes and helicopters, the bridge, radio room, all the different external weapons, hanger deck, with different artifacts and thing to get involved with (simulators etc) theres old gun (ball) turrets, and escape pods, a massive lego scaled version of the ship. And the lower deck incl accommodation etc.Then theres the submarine Growler) on the opposite side to the pier have a walk around that (not suitable for people with movement difficulties or if very large!).
Great place to spend 3-4 hours. Loved the submarine tour. Good hamburgers for lunch, with a generous portion of fries. The retired Navy sailors who volunteer as hosts are great. The exhibits are very informative.
First time Id been as an adult and it was AWESOME. Where else in the world can you explore an aircraft carrier and see the best planes from the last 80 years? They also had a retired intrepid crew member on the bridge and the two we met were both fantastic to talk to. Only disappointment was the submarine was closed, probably for covid
Unbelievable museum and such a great experience. My 5, 10 and 16 year old enjoyed it. The rides were worth the addition. If you want the full experience with the ship there are Narrow spaces, some climbing over, walking down and up the stairs so Would be difficult with a young child but if they stay in the aircraft area they would be alright
Short: STUNNING Museum!! If you like aviation/boats in any way go there!Long: Very interesting technical museum showing plenty of exhibits, partially unique. For instance you can get a separate ticket to see a Concorde (image with the NYC skyline through a concords cockpit window attached!), the first space shuttle, a growler submarine, a sojus capsule and many many more fighter jets and details of an aircraft carrier. The staff is very friendly and shows you around, food and facilities are all there. There are simulators, stuff for children to play around and nice souvenirs to be had. Prepare yourself to spend a couple of hours there!
The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum was one we were anticipating seeing. It’s much larger than you’d think, so carve out some time to see it all. First you get to tour literally an entire aircraft carrier, which is huge. You get to explore different decks to see how sailors ate, slept and worked. They have a space shuttle to look at and a VR ride that takes you to mars. They even have a separate submarine to tour.
Awesome self tour around the Intrepid battle ship, space shuttle and submarine. Worth the visit, plenty to see and spend several hours walking around. Each member of our group enjoyed the visit. Flight simulators and and museum are also available on site.
We had a really great time here. A lot of details and stations to view. A full area for kids and a place to eat. There are some rides (simulators) to try for extra money. Parking nearby well cost you 30 bucks so be wary of that. Plus most of the thing to buy in museum are expensive, even for a museum. The submarine was fun to try but please be aware that there are tight (very tight) spaces.
Absolutely amazing experience. We only had 3 hours and it was not enough to see everything on offer. The best part was the guides some of whom are ex Navy was great to hear their explanations and stories. Seeing the space shuttle is always a thrill.
We had a wonderful visit to The Intrepid! They have an incredible collection, and it was so neat to see all of the aircraft on the deck against the NYC skyline. The highlight for me was seeing The Enterprise- seeing an actual space shuttle was indescribable. I would absolutely recommend a visit to The Intrepid!
A must-see place when you are visiting NYC. For an Adult (13 – 64) its 33 USD and buying online is best to avoid the big lines. Also, I would go in the morning, its quieter and faster to enter - and after the visit you can go walk around the Hudson.Theres a lot of History and interesting things to learn. Also, if you are photographer, get your camera ready!
While Ive visited separately the USS Midway in San Diego, Space museums in both - Houston and Florida and USS Cod submarine in Cleveland, here you have all of them packed in one ticket and one space in the very center of NYC on Hudson river.The biggest attraction is of course the Intrepid aircraft carrier which survived severe WWII battles and kamikaze attacks. Added bonus is visiting the retired BA Concorde, but it is separately paying.Count on around 3 hrs for a visit.
We have been several times on the Intrepid. There’s discounts for Veterans/Military and NY state residents.The flight deck may be cold/windy but with the array of helicopters and jets you might not notice.Small children might have difficulty using the stairs but there are elevators. Many displays are interactive and is even fun for adults. There are space craft, helicopters, and other shuttles you can sit in. There is a VR experience but it costs extra.This is the only museum in the states that allows the public on a military submersible. With knowledgeable staff, who some have served themselves, is a wonderful experience. Every trip is different and is a must for anyone who is (or isn’t) a military buff.
Mainly went for the space stuff but also had a great time looking around on the Intrepid and its flight deck. Lots of planes and information about the history of the carrier and its importance. The space section has lots of interesting information as well as the enterprise which was way bigger than I expected, it never actually went to space but its missions on earth were very important for research into future shuttles that went to space. There is also a Russian module here that orbitted earth some 2,800 times which is really cool, just wish this part was bigger!!
Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum is the place to go. I actually see the NASA space shuttle in person, it makes you realize how big of a world we live in. I think this is by far my favorite museum Ive ever been in. To walk in the submarine that served in the 1960s was unreal to see how our veterans lived and fought for our country. The stories of what they went through makes you sad and happy at the same time. I sat in the British Airline Concord which went out of business in 2003, this plane flew about 60,000 feet and reached a top speed of moc 2!
Havent been here since I was a little girl and it didnt disappoint! The staff was awesome, super friendly and very informative. If you are in NYC visiting or live here, take advantage of what the city has to offer. Its definitely worth the trip! Extra plus that I didnt know: NYC residents get in for half price!
This is one of those places you really need a few hours to see everything. Started with the Growler Sub tour, a few staff members sporadically to answer questions very knowledgeably. Could not imagine living in there for 2 months at a time. Over to the Concorde, bummer it was not open as it was one thing I was looking forward to, but not the end of the world. Onto the Intrepid Carrier, many planes/ choppers on deck in various conditions. Far end large building is home to Enterprise shuttle, which is a sight to see up close and personal. Tons of info inside with displays. Walked through Intrepid bridge, main floor and a bit of lower floor but ran low on time. Will definitely revisit with more time to stay. Exploreum has many interactive exhibits for both children and adults. Tickets: We purchased the New York Pass. They scan it at ticket counter and hand you tickets, no time slots or delays. Vaccine Card/ ID Check very smooth, worker may tease you if you arent smiling in license photo :) Highly recommended.
Its got tons of really cool aircraft for you to see. They also opened up a lot of the utility rooms too so you can see the living quarters and workspaces. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Plus, if youre a NYC resident, you pay about $15 to get in. No-brainer on a nice day. Sub was open when I went, but Concorde was closed.
We really enjoyed our visit of the Interpid Sea, Air & Space Museum. It was my first opportunity to see aircraft carrier. Well, I expeted that it will be huge but the vessel was even bigger. Tens of airplanes and helicopters inside and on board you will probably expect. The biggest surprise for us was space shuttle Enterprise and Mars rover. P.S. Do not forget to visit the Interactive Fountain on the next pier!
I have biked Past the Intrepid during my commute so many times, and after 4 years of living in NYC, finally used the culture pass (#NYPL) to go see the museum ($33/ adult, with culture pass free) Spent 2 1/2 hours touring around, and didn’t even get to see the spaceship!I would recommend this museum to anyone in town- Especially those interested in 1940-1970s time period in American (naval & space) history. I particularly enjoyed the photo room, fo’c’s’le, and mess hall.I’m serving my country in a Govt. civilian employee capacity, and thanks to this museum, I have an even deeper respect and understanding for those our country’s naval servicemen and women from the 1940s- 1970s. Thank you!
A very cool museum with some good mini experiences sprinkled throughout. Having the USS Enterprise on the deck of the Intrepid is very cool to see. This is a great place to take a kid to learn a little about history and see an awesome rocketship.
What a great visit! Real surprise how great this is. Chance to see Enterprise space shuttle, the intrepid itself and talk to staff who actually served on them. We especially enjoyed The Growler submarine!
Super interesting and cool. Very interactive and kid friendly. Not to crowded, and barley any lines. My only complaint is that in the top part of the ship it was hot and super packed. The view was really nice, of the aircrafts, water, and city
Fabulous museum for naval/aerospace nerds. Spent several hours wandering around USS Intrepid and USS Growler looking at the aircraft and exhibits.Highlights for me were going through uss growler and a closeup look at the regulus 1 missile, the 20ft long Lego model of intrepid and the Enterprise space shuttle and chatting with the knowledgeable guides and volunteers.
Great place to spend a few hours with the kids. They loved looking at the planes, especially the sr71 and the space shuttle. The interactive kids area was especially awesome and we probably could have spent an hour there by itself.Reduced a star because the cafeteria was terrible. Pack your own lunch or get chicken strips that are the same meat as theyd chop up and put on a salad. No breading, seasoning, or anything. Kids wouldnt touch it in their meal.
Great military museum with lots of exhibits, saw the space shuttle, concord, growler submarine and intrepid aircraft carrier. Highly recommend if you like military history.
Historical and very interesting area to visit. The Intrepid was an aircraft carrier and it displays a very nice display of planes including the Lockheed A 12. The area also has sightseeing ships, restaurants, and cruise ships.
Great place for kids! Kids have to be 4 ft tall I believe to enter the submarine so parents can take turns if they have multiple young ones. Way too much to see in a short couple hours we had. Would definitely go back!
These photos were taking on Veterans Day 2021. Normally my Sister-Friend and fellow Veteran Michelle and I observe this day together. I visited the Intrepid Military Museum. It was my first time and I was not disappointed. It was wonderful fellowshiping with my fellow Veterans. Honesty, my entire day great and full of wonderful surprises and nostalgic memories.
One of the coolest museum I had ever enter. Air carrier, space shuttle, submarine and historic Concorde Hypersonic airliner in a time.The submarine has limited space and formed a long queue to visit.
Military installation done well. Not overboard on the action she saw but more of the education about life onboard. The shuttle is amazing. Dining is available and pretty decent for a museum.
Very cool and big museum. You can spend a whole day there and still haven’t seen everything. Make sure to reserve your tickets in advance to avoid the queue.
This place is AMAZING. We almost didnt bother coming, however it turned put to be easily one of the highlights of our holiday in NY. The sheer size and variety of things to see is amazing, and the staff are super friendly and helpful throughout. I have added quite a few photos, but I have left much out on purpose so as not to spoil everything, but for all ages and interests there will be something, from interactive rides and a close up and personal with some amazing vehicles.Cannot reccomend enough, if your visiting New York make sure to set aside a half day for the Interepid.
It was a great day there with very friendly service. All people working there can answer a lot of questions based on their own history! I can totally recommend this place if you like Military and History!
There is nothing negative to say about this great living museum. You need at least three to four hours minimum on that ship, so be carefull on your arrival time. There are also many extra activities inside with extra cost like 3D films and flight simulators. i had a great time over there and i definately recommend the visit
Great overall experience but the exhibits on the hangar deck was quite worn. The queue for the submarine had no shade at all so we skipped it because it was about 45 minutes long.
Great experience. Lots of interesting info on the aircraft carrier, the planes and people. The VR ride of the Apollo launch was fun. Veterans and active military, make sure you get your discount.
Cons:The people dont brief about the show schedule. Lift operation: twice daily at 2 & 4Pm. Kamikaze every 1Hr. One can schedule the walk around, keeping these two in mind.Pros: Educational insight to the yesteryears of cold war. One can spend about 4-5Hrs depending on ones appetite.Enterprise(space shuttle) kept inside and the space race highlighted.Submarine Growler, Concorde, SR-71 Blackbird as well part of the display.Closes by 5pm or so, so schedule your walk accordingly.
Went on a bank holiday weekend, the queue was long but got sorted in large tranches. Staff were good and the facilities were well looked after. Very fun experience with a lot of great history and photo opportunities! Would definitely recommend for anyone with even a fleeting interest in military history
Value for money, really interesting! Lots to look at we spent a few hours there. Tour guides & volunteers extremely knowledgeable and helpful
My husband and my sons were thrilled with this museum! Way more excited than I expected, they took tons of pictures. Would recommend!
It is a fantastic place. The volunteers and veterans are wonderful people with great life experiences to share. We took over 4 hours to visit the museum. It is really impressive.
A lil bit expensive but still worth to see. Part of museum is on aircraft carrier ship. There is also a submarine and Concorde. You can visit concorde with extra ticket that cost 7$ more. Its one of a kind experience. I really like the part of the museum where kids (and adults) could take a picture in special models, lay on beds taken from ship or pretend to be ship crew. My main aim during this visit was seeing a space shuttle Enterprise. After seeing Atlantis and Endevour I was a lil bit disappointed of the exhibition but still its really worth seeing.
There is certainly a great deal to explore at the USS Intrepid site. You can learn all about the history of the ship, visit the flight deck to see the large range of aircraft she has onboard and also take some time to visit the Space exhibition.In addition, the submarine USS Growler is also available to visit.A British Airways Concorde is also here, but at the time of my visit (11 Dec 21) was regrettably closed to the public.I would definitely recommend the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum as a good place to visit. 👍
Very interesting, however I really dont appreciate having to pay extra on top of entry fees for special attractions, movies etc. Particularly when some included exhibits are closed, like the submarine and Concorde, for example.
The rain didnt stopped me from going. I like ships and planes so this is a place to visit. Friendly staff and the exhibits are pretty educational. Only a small fraction of the Intrepid is shown to the public but you get to see how the ship was operated.
If you like learning about history and experience flight stimulation that is definitely a place to visit. Make sure you buy for tickets on line to avoid any waiting queues.I bought the general admission, the flight stimulation and a 3D movie about ISS and a 20mins tour for Concorde.Great experience and everything was well organised and very informative.Be prepared to spend lots of time when you visit. We spent about 4hours there and I can’t say for certain if I’ve seen everything. No
June 2022. The Intrepid is a museum located on the Hudsen River at Pier 86. The museum itself is a navy warship which has been gutted and turned into a showcase for jet fighters used throughout the 20th century. You can pretend to be a sailor as you explore the navigation quarters, anchor chain room, and crew cabins, and dream about what life might have been like at sea.The museum itself is quite family friendly, there is an exhibition hall with little activity areas and photo ops. For a price, there are also some VR experiences which many people were lined up to enjoy.As an added bonus, the Intrepid also houses a NASA themed room complete with the Enterprise space shuttle, which was really neat to see.There are additional experience which cost extra (ie, submarine experience, Concorde experience) which we were not so interested in.We spent 2 hours here, but probably could have stayed another hour if we went a little slower through the exhibits.Tickets were $33 per adult.
This museum was a fantastic experience that easily filled a morning: between the growler submarine, the Concorde, the space shuttle, aircraft carrier (and aircraft on the upper deck) there is more than enough to see
A real Blackbird? The Enterprise shuttle?? ON a battleship??? A submarine docked at the battleship?! This museum is *incredible*, I couldnt believe my eyes. And when I saw the Blackbird on the ship I thought it would be some reproduction of it. I hope I can go back to this museum one day, it was just plain cool.
Incredible museum and I write this as someone who would usually avoid this type of museum but go to it for the sake of the kids. We all loved it. A unique experience, we all learned so much. From crawling through a submarine to getting to see how huge a space shuttle is in real life...just so much fun!
I always love going to the Intrepid. There’s tons of really cool exhibits, and plenty to see and do both inside and outside. Going through everything will take about a few hours or so. Overall, the museum has been maintained very well, and would recommend it to anyone visiting New York.
The intrepid museum is a unique experience. If you go on the submarine growler just know the space is very small and is not recommended for claustrophobic people. Also its limited capacity.
Great time spent here on our vacation. My husband is retired Navy who served on The Big E in the early 1980s. So much to see. We really enjoyed the 3D movies in the cinema.
DONT BUY TICKETS ONLINE!!The minor wait outside is worth it.I took my dad and girlfriend whos from out of town. My dad got in free since hes s veteran and my girlfriend got half off since she was with me a NY resident.All came out to about $32 on the website it would have been $60+
Really cool museum that covers many interests. If theres no line for the submarine when you arrive, siggrat going there first because there WILL be a line later. Line to scan tickets for aircraft carrier will move quickly because the space is huge and accommodates many people safely.
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is a non-profit, educational institution featuring the legendary aircraft carrier Intrepid, the space shuttle Enterprise, the world’s fastest jets and a guided missile submarine.The mission of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is to promote the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through its collections, exhibitions and programming in order to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire our youth.
I Am a self identified history dweeb, so do take this with appropriate context, but this museum is INCREDIBLE!! I went with small children and they didnt even complain. There really is something for everyone here, even if you just want to sit inside the ship on a bench and be cool or warm compared to outside.The staff/volunteers are SO friendly and truly want to share this amazing piece of American history with you. Like did you know the only place on the ship that ISNT given commands port and starboard is the person steering the ship? I sure didnt! Take that Hollywood.From seeing lego creations to actual historic pieces to fully interactive exact replicas of major historic significance, if you love American history, do NOT miss this gem.
You could spend a whole day there, so much interesting things to see, including legendary aircraft and a prototype of the space shuttle, good for all ages!
Look amazing all air planes and great experience for family outing.Booked tickets in advance and no waiting outside. Wearing mask.
The museum is very good. It helped me look back at those tense years. After all, no one wanted to start a world nuclear war. Many meaningful old photos and old airplanes make me feel like I am going back to that time, an amazing museum. It is suitable for visiting in leisure time, and the visiting time is about 60 minutes to 90 minutes.
One of the kind museum. Historic aircrafts, boats and even the spaceship. Liked the place and overall ambience. There are few demo rides etc. as well.
The Intrepid museum was wonderful. We want to hit every museum in New York and this was our first one. It was a cold day but worth it since it was empty and we could enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed.
Nice museum, it has indoor and outdoor areaa to explore. It has some 3D attractions that are not included in the admission ticket so you have to pay around $11 per person for a 10min attraction...
It’s okay to go there if you are interested in military history or if you have some time to spare. It was okay but definitely not a must to see in NYC
Small but good, this aircraft, submarine and ship museum is very unique, the only place that I know you can get into a war submarine
First things first, the staff was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, kind and fun. All of them looked like they loved working there and made us feel super welcome.The ship is enormous and the museum is incredible. Definitely a must see if you’re visiting New York.As everything else in the city, it is expensive and very “American”, as they make a show out of everything :D
Amazing encounter my grandson and I had a blast, been able to admire how many of our heroes had to live for months, and the way they operated true their daily rutines, seen all this took me back in time seen the magazines or movies in times of war.
Cool place to visit especially if youre in military vehicles/planes/jets, etc. Thoroughly enjoyed speaking with the veterans and listening to the stories.
This was my first time on an aircraft carrier. The Intrepid Musuem is just so fun because there are so many place to explore. It is fun for history buffs, families, tourists and the like. Allow several hours to truly enjoy the experience.
My daughter had a great time. So much to learn. New exhibits. Food is available and lots of hands on things for the kids.
Really fun family afternoon. We loved seeing how the shop ran and sailors lived. Seeing the planes and helicopters on the flight deck was a huge hit. We also enjoyed the Concorde which we added on to our visit.
We loved this museum. Impressive to walk around the carrier. Be sure to visit the submarine as well!
Awesome museum! We really enjoyed it. Spent 2 hrs with lots to explore. The cafe was surprisingly good, too. Easy entry with timed tickets and covid vaccine cards ready.
The aircraft carrier is very impressive, and you get to explore many of its nooks and crannies. On the flight deck there are a multiple aircraft including the SR-71 blackbird and the Enterprise space shuttle. There is also a Concord, though it wasnt open for a tour.One of the highlights was the submarine USS Growler. You have to climb through some tight spaces, but you get to see almost everything. We spent about two hours on a not very busy day.
Really interesting & educative! Best part, for me, is the submarine visit! Having a chat with someone that worked on them was priceless!
Wonderful museum if you are a fan of navy, aviation and space. All kinds of aircrafts and helicopters on top of historic aircraft carrier, what else can one want. You can check inside the carrier to see the rooms and beds of the navy personnel . Includes an inside museum and a space shuttle museum.Would recommend for a weekend visit.
Loved the Intrepid! We got here early and there was only a few people in line. The staff was knowledgeable and provided great insight about life on a carrier. The Enterprise was also great, enjoyed being able to walk around and see inside the landing gear hanger. We really liked the nuclear submarine and seeing how tight the space was.
Awesome Experience...if you are an aviator at heart, a must things to do while in NYC and dont forget the 5G simulator woahhhh 💙💙
A bit pricey to get in, but was an amazing experience for all of us. We had staff come and ask if we had any questions about the artifacts.
Absolutely amazing experience, whether interested in history or not it is a place everyone shoupd visit if they have a chance.
I thought it was cool. Plenty to see and not super crowded on a Thursday in the summer. Good for a come couple hours if you have kiddos that like war history. Id compare it to the naval museum in Norfolk Virginia with the battleship attached, but not necessarily like a Smithsonian. It is really awesome that the museum is INSIDE the air craft carrier. And the restrooms were pretty clean. Best ages for this are probably upper elementary to younger teenagers.
There are a lot to see here from a submarine, the Intrepid aircraft carrier, Enterprise Space Shuttle, and a Concord plane!! Amazing place to visit in NYC!!
Museum was pretty cool with a lot of planes to see. I am glad we went but I would not need to go back.
Great museum if you are into military history. Several US aircraft and 2-3 Russian MIGs. The USS Growler, 1st US class of submarine to carry nuclear capable weapons. Also the first Space Shuttle built is on display, Shuttle Enterprise.
Very nice experience. Great collection of aircraft, memorabilia and photos. Also has an interactive area thats fun for kids...and kids at heart.
Probably one of the best museums Ive ever been to. Awesome exhibitions and really interesting visit
They have so to see it we spent over 3 hours here they have a lot of naval things here lit planes as well and a space shuttle.the staff very friendly and helpful.they have some good places to eat as well.you will injoy it we did we highly recommend a visit to here, for all naval and space and air craft fans. You will injoy it.
Very interesting and cool museum ! A must see if you are interested in aviation and military history !
This is a place you must visit. It is absolutely amazing and should be a priority for your visit to NYC.The staff is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. They are incredibly polite and helpful. They can offer all kinds of tips, hints, answers, and stories.The exhibits as well as the ship itself is well maintained and the volunteer restoration staff deserves all the praise they can get for maintaining the exhibits.On thing that should not be ignored nor forgotten is the history and legacy that is carried on, especially of those who have served abroad.I definitely plan on coming again to visit and enjoy this wonderful museum. Hopefully the Concorde and Submarine will be open by then
Loved this adventure. The Intrepid is very interactive and a great opportunity for kids to learn and experience.
What a treasure for NYC. A truly special place to take the family, especially for kids interested in the military or aerospace or ships
Good history but it’s no longer an actual aircraft carrier it’s a museum. I was wanting to see an actual flight deck not a parking lot
Awesome place to spend an afternoon with the family. Its amazing to see how much was invested in protecting our values.
Great experience. I am ex Royal Air Force and still love anything aviation.... the staff are brilliant here and very well informed with the subject matter of the exhibits. I could stay for hours if my family allowed it just listening to the tales they have of the active service fays of the carrier and its crew. The exhibits on the hangar and the flight deck are very well preserved and a must see. I particularly enjoyed seeing a Blackbird and Space Shuttle up close and personal.
This museum is amazing!!! Recommend all ages and families to visit. Very historical and informative. Thank you to all of the armed forces for their service to the country.
This place is amazing for anyone who loves space travel, military things, and sea travel. Its on an aircraft carrier for crying out loud! They have a Lockheed A-12 which is like the SR-71. The flight deck is the jackpot for any flight enthusiast and anyone who wants to learn about WWII. The inside had an open jet engine and even more planes. The best thing was the space shuttle the Enterprise. You can see it, take pictures, and learn about the history of the space shuttle missions.
What a way to spend couple of hours in NY. Amazing things to see and learn. Souvenir shop overpriced and t shirts are not made of quality materials…
Very nice museum at the heart of NY! Beautiful scenery and lots of activities! Space Shuttle Enterprise is a must-see!Parking can be challenging but Pier 83 Lot can be very helpful and affordable.
A great way to spend an afternoon. Also a nice area to sit at the end of the pier when you are done with the museum
Great place to bring little kids who love aircraft and ships. Easy to navigate if you have a stroller or wheelchair. The Enterprise is a must see. Great exhibit and we were amazed at the size of the craft standing under it. Also has a Soyuz craft and model of Perseverance. Definitely buy tickets in advance. Wasnt too busy on a Monday, and whole museum is huge so can fit a good size crowd without feeling crowded
They have an SR71 on the flight deck... Enough said? If not they also have one of the space shuttles, you cant go inside but its still very cool.
Good but too crowded. It is more for families instead of couples. It was better to visit USS from Philadelphia.
A huge, wonderful and imposing floating piece of American history, a place made up of all the magic of aeronautics and space, all in one place.
Apart from the obviously attractive things like aircraft, submarine and space shuttle Intrepid gives a great choice of activities for kids and their parents on the hangar level. Even my little daughter was impressed.
Great place to check some history about airplanes and the Intrepid warship itself. Its good to combine this visit with a cruise from the dock next to it.
Unfortunately we couldnt go in. With the new mandates they refused our business. We had our PCR tests for our kids but wasnt good enough.. The manager was very friendly and I know its not his fault. The lady (heavyset with 2 masks), that originally asked if we had our vaccines for the kids I told her we had their PCRs from 2 days ago, and they were medically excempt from the vaccine. She proceeded to ask for the medical excemption paper from the Dr. This is a violation against hippa and couldnt believe she would ask..this is sad that NYC has come down to this. Being a military family sad we cant show our kids the ship..
A great place to visit and learn so much about the uss Intrepid and its history its just all very cool a must go
Amazing experience for kids and adults.. must visit if you are in NYC. We were on a weekday morning and very few people.Dining is ok but you can eat near by places. Check weather and we were on rainy day but managed to cover top floor first before rain starts. Otherwise everything is covered.
Great expérience good welcome and thanks to the Navy because all the imperial mesures was converted in metrics
The place is amazing, the staff & volunteers are really friendly and explain a lot whatever you ask for. Its a place you need to visit all the war history with crafts and the submarine inside exploration is a must have experience.. A different destination 😍
It is an interesting destination, but only if you get free tickets. Veterans get in free, as do Bank Of America customers (first weekend of the month.)The shuttle and many of the planes are prototypes or display models that never flew, or never saw service. Climbing in to the bridge of the carrier has a lead paint/PCB/Superfund smell that must be experienced to be understood
Visited here for 9/11 day of service. Fantastic event. Very upbeat environment. So happy to see so many people came to help pack food for those in need. Will definitely attend next year
What a great experience. I loved their collection of fighter jets and their submarine. If you decide to visit, make sure you try their simulation flights. Enjoy
If you do love a history, you gonna love this place. Main attraction is the, of course, Intrepid and her functions, rooms and equipments of the past etc.The space vessel on the top of the carrier is a small visit of American milestones in exploring the traverse. Very cozy exhibition. Still always stunning to see that beauty. After visiting space centers in Orlando and Houston I feel very close to these.Concorde is a small portal to the horrible incident what happens 2000 to Air France. Just kinda sad I could not visit her interior. As a cabin crew I would be really interested to feel it. Maybe the museum is running tours? Not sure about this info though.The submarine was an amazing ending of the entire visit. And personally I have to say that was unforgettable experience. (How many times you can be inside of the actual submarine?) And just that echo of the past, imagining actual people spending there months...very educational and feel-able.Thank you for reliving all those experiences with visual/audio props and lots of interesting texts. Gonna pass a word for this one :)
Im a massive military nerd, and being able to move through the machines I love to learn about is an amazing experience. Spoiler alert: theyre massive. I used the explorer pass to get in, and it was worth it. They have a cold war sub which you can walk through, (images attached), as well as a massive WW2 aircraft carrier that the museum was named for. And the collection of rare machines, like the flying banana in the hanger, or the A-12, the SR-71S younger, spryer brother. And the space shuttle is way more massive than expected. Its an amazing site for all it holds. their mask policy is fair and works perfectly well. Anyone with a love of military work will be amazed by this place, which lets you get near some of the most impressive stuff ever constructed. Everyone is lovely and amazing, give them your thanks. Thanks yall, see you later.
A gorgeous piece of history right in the CityIt has been years since I heard about this museum for the first time. I always wanted to visit it, especially the submarine. So what a better time to do it than a day after Independence Day.Some of the planes looked surreal to me, like being cut out of a cartoon, but they were real pieces of history. In fact there was a helicopter that reminded me the A-TEAM. It was simple gorgeous to see each one of them, but from them all I wanted to get the feeling of what was like living inside a submarine.Can you imagine being under water inside a piece of steel in which there was not enough space for two people walking around the same hallway without having to take times. Or sleeping on super small bunk beds. God forbids any of them was claustrophobic it was a big fat No. And all of them were volunteers.That was during the Cold War...it took years. So next time you go to New York City dont forget to stop by this beautiful museum.
The entrance fee is a bit expensive. I stopped by on a New York city tour, and the kids loved the museum.
Amazing experience! The Shuttle experience exhibit was great. What a tribute to Star Trek! You must tour the Growler, a nuclear submarine.
Great place to geek out if you love history! The old war aircraft were my favorite and the Enterprise shuttle. Takes 2-3 hours to get through all the exhibits. Masks and lots of spacing.
Great museum, specially the Enterprise on the upperdeck was impressive. Take your time and visit this really great ship!
It was an amazing experience being in one of the US carriers. It was super cool watching all the planes and helicopters that they had for display. You also get access to the hangar, the navigation bridge and a cool ride in the airplane elevator of the ship. One of my favorite parts was the Space Shuttle and seeing how massive it is. Incredible and totally recommend!!
Amazing.Really nice. Space Shuttle...Blackbird and Concorde. Really cool.So is the F14, F16, A6 and more.33 usd. Very worthy
Very interesting, highly recommend it. You should definitely make the tour through the submarine
Amazing experience and great museum attendants and real vets showing you around, highly recommend !
Great ship… it has not sunk yet! Takes a real licking and keeps on ticking. There are helicopters in which to sit, and a ride simulator. Lots of history about modern naval warfare. Obviously a large dose of propaganda, but this is Team America writ large!
Very knowledgeable tour, lots of what I heard from TV’s stuff became a real things.
Great place to spend an afternoon learning about the history of our military and their equipment used.
I was excites to come to this museum ship. It has a lot of items to view and read about. However in my opinion the buildings they placed on deck and the 4d virtual rides at the back of the hangar deck fell like it takes away from the allure of the ship.
Great time!!! Lots to see. Also have a couple interactive things to do as well
A nice area to take pictures. Close to a busy street. No parking, it’s nyc. Buses near by. Inside is clean. Views are breathtaking! NYC is beautiful and although the water is FILTHY, you can’t beat the location, the views, the scenery and the overall atmosphere. A must see if you’re in this area. And if you’re a tourist, I’d highly recommend you visit, especially for the pictures you’d be able to take back as memories.
Very cool museum. There is a submarine you can go inside as well as the big warship to learn how they lived and worked onside each of those.On the deck of the ship there are some aircrafts that used to be in service in war times.At the end of the deck, there is a hangar which holds some info and a model of the Enterprise space craft, which is great.The entrance ticket cost me 33 dollars, which in my opinion was more than ok for what you get.
Awesome experience World War II planes and ships and a mini 4d theater. Make sure you got some comfortable shoes enjoy
Wow, what a great Air, Space & Sea Museum. So much to learn. The Intrepid commemorated Veteran’s Day 2021 with a very small meeting. It was a great experience.
Its a really cool place to visit alot of interesting stuff there you have a submarine that you will get inside you have jets carriers that you will get inside alot its a fun 4 hours - 3 hours museum definitely recommend for tourists and the people there are so nice ..
Really well done exhibits. One of the coolest things to do in NYC
AmazingPros- a lot of space- a Cold War museum- you can do a lot of interactive activity’sCons- a lot of the exhibits are glassed in
Very nice museum its really cool and interesting for kids and adults
To view the ship and look around was worth the price. You can stay however long you like and the staff is friendly
Went for a school trip. Its alot of walking and stairs but worth it great time!
Great experience its an amazing experience walking around nasa the enterprise and guys that actually served with the entrepid
For my regret, i have not time to visit the museum. I just made couple of photos from the board of boat. Next time... Looks very interesting from the river
There are a lot of people without masks, yet they have hand sanitizer all over the place. Very clean and some exhibits have a cost. Vietnam war history and airplanes are amazing.
Been coming here since I was a kid and it just keeps getting better and better. Its the Metropolitan Museum of Art- of Aviation lol
This museum was amazing. A must see in New York. Lots of interesting aircraft and the nuclear missile submarine was really cool, though they really need a cover to provide shade from the sun for guests while they wait to enter the sub. Had a great time. Highly recommended.
Awesome museum and well worth the visit. I just wish more of the below decks spaces were open to the public, still a great museum.
This museum is amazing. I really cant add much more to the existing reviews other than its an absolute must when visiting NYC, especially with kids.Its worth noting that some experiences like the concord and submarineare currently closed due to COVID. (31 Jan 2022)
An admiral ship. My first air conditioned jet carrier experience. Be sure to check out the cruise missile equipped submarine next door too!!
Interesting place to visit, especially for anyone interested in battleships, jets and also space shuttles. The virtual reality (which costs extra) was great! Not too crowded in the morning, recommend to purchase tickets online in advance (we bought ours for the same day).
Great experiences, with Hillary Clinton had the chance to speak and represent on the behalf of our Sikh community from North East coast on this great day remembering 9/11 event with Hillary Clinton. Representing Sikh Cultural Society inc.
I enjoyed a lot the museum with my family. Its really cool how you can actually get inside the only nuclear submarine in the US available to the public and see how the crew lived in there. I specially loved the space shuttle exhibit because I am a little bit a space nerd so people who likes those kind of things are really gonna love this well kept museum. Staff is so friendly and ready to answer any of your questions.
Must-visit in NYC for fans of aviation or military history. Great collection of iconic aircraft, and what a setting to house them! Submarine tour was also good fun. Some sections have veterans on hand to discuss the exhibit who were friendly and chatty. Even had an actual space shuttle and concord! I was initially apprehensive about the $20+ entry fee, however felt it was worth the cost afterwards!
WOW, Amazing. If you visit NY I would recommend checking this place out! The submarine was also great, its amazing how everything is still original. We had a great time checking out the Sub and Carrier! Dont forget about the space shuttle and other airplanes!
Amazing, very informative 👏 you get to know the history of the ship, the marines who gave their lives in the war. The fighter planes of that time are displayed inside the ship as well as outside. Located in Manhattan New York view of sky scrapers is an additional beauty. Theres a big shop of souvenirs, from where you can buy souvenirs as gift for your family and friends. Definitely worth spending your time. And also theres a submarine you can take a tour of.
What a wonderful museum. The staff were not only friendly and courteous,but many were veterans that had served on the very ships we were touring. Their insight into the past was amazing. This was a wonderful learning opportunity for me and my family.
Amazing place to visit, plenty of attractions to see and was reasonably priced
So much to see and learn! Fantastic weather added to the experience!
Visited here,mainly for my husband boys and their toys but it was very interesting. A great hour or so out.
Huge range of information, planes and information about the ship. The space shuttle is breath taking. Definitely a must see.
Its huge.Its not only the carrier, theres many simulators about space and aircraft, they have an extra cost but is not that expensive, between $11 and $14... worth it.On the flight deck of the carrier, at 12, 2 pm and 4 pm they have a demonstration of the elevators the Intrepid used for loading the aircraft on the carrier. (Honestly I was expecting more from this so dont worry if you miss it, the elevator just goes down and up and the hangar gates are close so no big deal)The submarine is super coolSo in resume, I totally recommend it!
Best place to see, great experience for everyone on their visit 😀. Your can learn so much about air space & get more knowledge..., wanna go again 😫.
Not too bad of a way to spend the day. Definitely worth it if you’re into the military industrial complex
Fantastic facility with great stuff for young children too - get there early so you dont have to wait to view the submarine - all staff really happy to discuss about the history - a must visit in NYC
Cool museum. Not my cup of tea but there was a rocket ship. Here with the orch squad. Sko wave. Sandwiches were slimy. My best friend Ellis went on the GForce simulator and he thought it was quite enjoyable, totally worth the ten bucks.
It was ok. Been modified too much to experience what the sailors on the ship experienced.
Amazing place, take about 5 hours to enjoy the tour.
This was a great museum it was an impressive sight. Active military and vets get in free. Seeing the space shuttle was cool and so was the submarine. Only thing the nearest train stop was a mile away. But definitely recommend this for military and aviation fans.
Very lovely place to visit if you like naval history or air.
Informative history tour, including history of the ship in NY, WWII, and submarine life.
Much to see. Combat and rescue planes, helicopters, submarine and more. You can enjoy the flight simulator for about $12 adicional
The best Museum I’ve ever visited in my life. It’s incredible and majestic. I’m in love with Intrepid Museum and the Growler Submarine ♥️
Very interesting, a submarine very tinyIf you are one of those who have claustrophobia, I recommend you not go in and do the aircraft carrier. Dont miss the cargo climb
I’ve had the luck to visit a few ships and this one was one of the best. As a museum it was great to learn so much history about what the ship has been thru. The space shuttle was great also to see. All the places were great and the views of the city is an added bonus. Take your time and just take it all in.The only reason it’s not a full five stars has to do with parking. For most this isn’t an issue but since I was driving in from queens, finding local parking was tough. So if your staying in the city then no big deal but for me, and only me, it sucked to drive around on the streets to get parking, which was helped by going on a Sunday. But still go and enjoy it.
This museum never fails to please me. The exhibits are always interesting and the staff is helpful and knowledgeable. They have two new aircraft as well as a photography exhibit in the actual room that it was in when in active service. There is no parking but the M32 and M50 stop right next to it. The museum is also a short walk from Times Square. Anger 3 is dedicated to children,, but adults will enjoy its hands-on exhibits and virtual rides too. Must see; the 25,000 piece, 12 foot long Lego model of the Intrepid. Dont miss this WWII, Cold War, & Vietnam War Aircraft carrier turned museum.
Worth every penny. My 3 year old and I had a blast. So much to see and learn. Everyone who works there was so knowledgeable and kind. Can’t wait to go back!
Impressive place, reserve couple of hours to visit whole ship, interior exhibition and the submarine.
Sadly as of late July 2021 the museum is not taking Covid safety seriously. Half the guests are unmasked, and a large number of staff are as well. Theres no temperature checks at the entrances, and numerous tight passageways, rides, theaters and elevators where unmasked tourists from around the country congregate.I loved this museum as a kid and would love to bring mine here, but with Delta variant cases rising and kids under 12 unable to be vaccinated, its much too risky. If youre visiting NYC try the NY Hall of Science instead, where they protect their visitors with a mask mandate. Plus they have mini golf and rockets!
I highly recommend to talk to the employees, they can provide additional insights and amazing tips. You should definitely visit the intrepid, when in NYC
Very fun and learned alot being there i tottaly reccomend going here
There is so much to see and learn and appreciate at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. My favorite part was the Shuttle Enterprise and the Concorde airplane.
Great museum! Buy vr tickets in advance
Great family day. We loved it. Of course I am a fan of ships and planes.
Absolutely amazing! You get to explore the air craft carrier Intrepid, climb through the US Navys submarine Growler, and see the prototype space shuttle Enterprise. Everything is worth seeing and being baffled by! I would never make it on a sub!
This place is a must when visiting NYC. We loved it. I highly recommend. The 33$ ticket is worth it.
Best part of our NYC trip! Spend more than 2 hours here easily. We got our tickets online timelsot but we still had to line up outside. Lineups for exhibits inside as well so prepare to stand! Their submarine was the absolute best, dont miss that! Lots of free small shows inside and simulator rides with an extra cost. Great for family, elevator accessible, Id just recommend going in off peak times to avoid standing in lines too much.
Friendly staff. Lots to learn. Great visit for 7 year olds.

2022-02-22The museum spaces are so clean and well kept. Well planned out and managed. Lots of staff available to answer questions. We had a really nice time and the views from the flight deck are amazing. Be sure you ride the aircraft elevator if given the chance. The space shuttle exhibit was amazing. I had no idea it was that big and the way you enter just makes you realize it quickly. Overall a great experience. Parking can be a walk so be ready for that.

2022-06-29Fantastic museum. Plenty to see and for kids to do. Theyve done an amazing job of trying to give a glimpse of the history of the ship, those that served, the conflicts and a variety of aircraft.The staff and volunteers were very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a lot of interactive games for kids and enough to keep you there for hours. I spent 5 hours here and saw just about everything on a quiet day. In fairness, I also took a lot of pictures so it would take most people a but less time.The curators have done a great job. Absolutely loved it.

2022-04-26Intrepid is an amazing experience. I loved the submarine as it is very rare you can get to see inside of a submarine. The ship is well maintained and its good to see the shuttle also. This is a place you must visit if youre in 🗽NYC because the experience is on another level. You can witness history in a raw form. The line for submarine can be long but its worth the wait.

2022-02-26Amazing experience, great views of the city. Give yourself as much time as you can here. You can really get round the ship and have a good mooch. Only downside was the submarine was closes, but I knew that in advance and understand why. Very impressive considering only a small team work on the upkeep of the planes etc.
Review №5
2022-03-17This was an excellent experience, and truly one of the best museums I’ve ever been to. This museum has a fascinating history of the US Navy and the ship that is the museum. There are Navy Veterans dotted about who are really interesting to listen to, and the ship is open for you to have a full look around. The only negative would be that the security can be a little aggressive. However, overall, I would recommend this place. I would suggest having a look at the Concorde and the space shuttle in particular.

2022-03-25Always amazing experience. The submarine and space shuttle are new editions since I was here last. Its the only nuclear sub you can tour in the US. The history is amazing and there is something for all ages. Highlight was seeing them actively seeing them restoring a plane. Pretty neat experience. Very close to Times Square, only a five minute walk.
Review №7
2022-02-13Amazing place to visit. We spent about 3 hours there but could have stayed longer for sure. Amazing to see the A12 in real life and just to be around so many incredible planes. The space shuttle is the highlight 100% - could have spent 2 hours in that exhibition alone just staring at the thing. Very likely to visit again at some point.

2022-05-12If youre into history,science and the military? THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!

2022-01-03Active duty Military gets free admission and 50% off with NY state ID. A lot of WWII and NASA history. Well maintained aircraft carriers. Big space shuttle inside the building on ship. It will take good 3-4 hours. Recommend to go there early to take time and cover everything. Food court, gift shop and many restrooms are available at all areas. 3D theater for additional cost. Submarine and concord tour is not available due to COVID. You will need vaccine card and ID. Must place to go while in big apple.

2022-06-08What a great museum!!! It was such a great experience. We spent 3-4 hours here, and we could have spent more if we didn’t have other plans. It’s amazing to walk on living history. We got tickets in advance and it made walking in easier and quicker. While it’s not necessary to make reservations in advance, it did make our experience better.
