Beautiful exhibit In addition to the aircraft and the shuttle there are many narratives of wartime moments where the Intrepid was present. Also interesting are all the sections where the political and social situations of the Cold War and Vietnam periods are narrated

It was so easy to use, you literally just find the attractions you want to see and head to the entrance with your QR code ticket pass. Even those where you have to book, the experience was easy to complete through the app. Will recommend.

I loved that the ticket was available for our first event. When we were here years ago, we had to pick up the tickets and have them validated. Technology has really made this part great! It was easy to get there and go. We enjoyed the Islands very much!
