A fantastic museum for families! My kids loved exploring the aircraft carrier, submarines, and planes. The exhibits are interactive, engaging, and easy for children to enjoy. We spent several hours there and never got bored. Highly recommended for anyone visiting New York with kids.

We had such a great experience visiting the Intrepid Museum with family! Using Headout made the entire process so easy and convenient. Our entry was incredibly smooth, and we had no issues getting in, which made the start of our visit completely stress-free. Once inside, we had so much fun exploring the museum together. There was so much to see and experience, and it ended up being a really fun and memorable family outing. I would definitely recommend both the Intrepid Museum and using Headout for an easy, hassle-free experience!

It was the second time we have been to Intrepid and again it did not disappoint. Coupled with Fleet Week and all the associated stands, our time there passed too quickly. Although the weather was not too great, rain after all the sunshine, there was plenty to do inside the ship. It was wonderful to see the tall ships along the quayside. Everybody was so friendly.

Headout is awesome! The interface works so user friendly, and I could save some bucks with the discounts as well. What else would I need. Also, I can now explore more based on suggestions from Headout. I love it.

The tour took us on a journey back in time. It was very interesting and enjoyable to walk up the stairs to the different levels and see the well-maintained facilities. I’m definitely coming back with friends.

It was awesome—we'd never seen airplanes up close like that before, and of course we'd never been on an aircraft carrier!!!! Highly recommended
