    Awesome ship, nicest staff
    Shoutout to the nicest old navy retiree that was working there, from the USS Shangri-La. Was willing to explain all the workings of the carrier and his own career working on another one, and was an absolutely hilarious dude. Just by meeting him, it made the already cool experience an amazing one.

    MUST GO activity if you´re addictive to aviation. Fantastic to see so many well preserved aircraft and also to understand how a Air Carrier works and how people lived there... Listen to the veterans talking about their experience was fantastic and emotional ! Take your time to talk with all of them... Will enrich a lot your visit.

    Really interesting
    Good idea to do this excursion. How many times do you get the chance to visit an aircraftcarrier, a submarine and a spcashuttle on one day. Lots of history, mu advice, buy tickets on like to skip the cue, including a tick for a 3d movie, very impressive, and a simulator if you want, less impressive. Arrive early, cues fur the sub can be long. If you have a ticket with timed entrance ie at 10, you will be the first to be in the sub. Lots of guide to tell about the ships too.

    Great visit on a sunny afternoon
    Really great museum showcasing the USS Intrepid, there is also an array of aircraft for viewing, a submarine (which sadly we didn’t have time to do), the Enterprise space shuttle, among others. Unfortunately you do have to pay extra for some of the attractions but overall there’s much information and lots to see. There are also some cool models built entirely from Lego which I’m a huge fan of!

    I wouldn’t revisit. It was ok but everything is a little old ?.
    I didn’t do this museum when I visited ten years ago because I didn’t feel my teenagers would enjoy it but succumbed to visiting this time with my husband. He loved it and wandered around the various decks inspecting everything on display. I however was bored after an hour or so . We recently visited Kennedy Space Station so the exhibits there far outweighed the Space Shuttle here. I quite enjoyed the aircraft on the flight deck although they are all rather old. The exhibit on Vietnam was interesting with some astounding facts and the below decks information sparked by interest but the rest of museum I found was full of a lot of written information which didn’t capture my interest or imagination.

    Very good day out
    I chose this for my 50th birthday treat! I loved it and my wife said she really enjoyed it too. Some of the aircraft are a bit dated but still good to see and enjoyable. The craft on the main deck are really good as is the space shuttle experience. Some space on the lower deck which shows possible improvements to come but plenty to keep you entertained. We almost passed on the submarine tour but glad we didn’t - it was very interesting. A shout out to all the volunteers - some really interesting veterans with brilliant stories, make sure you speaking them and get them talking!! It’s worth it!

    Incredible family museum
    Incredible family museum to visit! My 8 year old son couldn’t get enough of the planes on the upper deck and enjoyed sitting in the captain’s seat inside. The submarine was also cool but had a line to get inside. I’d suggest checking the weather before heading here because much of it is outside on the river which can get unpleasant when rainy and/or windy.

    Prepare to be impressed.
    This is an amazing museum - everything there is just huge! The aircraft carrier itself is very impressive, and so are the planes, the space shuttle and the submarine. We enjoyed our visit very much. The exhebitions in the museum are very informative and interesting, and you could spend an entire day there. Eventhough you have to pay extra for it, you should not miss out on the 3D experience of travelling into space in the space shuttle area. It's so much fun!

If you have an interest in aviation then this is definitely the place for you. Interesting aircraft including planes and helicopters, the space shuttle and fascinating history of the aircraft carrier are all here along with a submarine that held nuclear weapons. Shame sometimes the Concorde is not available to see.

A great example of USA s Past armed forces together with .
A Space shuttle exhibition. What an exhibit for all the family to explore. Kept in great condition . You do need to be fairly mobile especially if you go in the submarine.
Great value a must do if you've never been in a sub or warship.

Awe inspiring. Very informative signage. Easy to follow the routes throughout the ship. Seeing a real space shuttle is amazing as was going into the submarine. Getting to lie in a sailor’s bed was cool as was sitting in the cockpit of a Mercury space capsule.

Downside is at the ticket window there is no veterans’ discount yet online there is. To me that’s false advertising.

A lot of fun. Staff is friendly and there are a lot of things to see.
I would love if there was a more interactive alternative though. Would’ve loved to be able to sit in one of the airplane cockpits for example.

Really enjoyed this visit - we went in the main to see the Space Shuttle, but had not realised quite how much else there was to see and do. Didn’t leave enough time - could do with a good three/four hours to see everything.

Visiting the Intrepid Museum isn’t just for those addicted to military history & aviation geeks.
Intrepid Museum has something to entertain & dare I say help educate the whole family in definitely something they didn’t know before the visit.
Getting there early is a must for anyone wanting to explore the USS Growler submarine, be warned this is popular and a little wait can be expected if you don’t get to this quickly. It’s also a tight space to be explored so if you don’t get on in small spaces think twice, but they do let you experience the fit of a few of the hatches before you head on the climb through the submarine.
The flight deck has aircraft exhibits spaced out well with plenty of room to walk and snap your photographs. All be it the helicopters could be better placed/spaced out for the limited number there.
The USS Enterprise is well positioned within its own housing with a great backstory around her, this is bound to blow any buddy astronauts mind. A great exhibit.
If you time it right the aircraft lift still works and you can catch a lift between the flight deck and hangar deck, this is really worth trying to time if right for.
When walking around the hangar deck, you can still smell the history of Intrepid, and her working life which is really great.
There’s also interactive stations in this area for younger family members (and the big kids).
If visiting New York & whether you’re fully into aviation & military history or not, Intrepid Museum is a must on your visit list, and is in a great location to explore New York further along the Hudson River.
