The museum was well structured and left space for individual focus omar the exhibitions, a memorable moment was, when we had a talk with a Veteran who was there to answer questions and to talk. Especially this talk was special, thank you for this moment !

Fantastic exhibitions. Could have spent days there. Many knowledgeable and friendly guides, at least one of whom spoke from personal experience of serving on submarines.

This is really a first class museum! So much to see and all beautifully presented! Many interactive sites and very educational. Took our grandsons who are 10 and 13 and VERY interested in WWII and military history - they loved it!

Go on a mission to explore the iconic Intrepid aircraft carrier, space shuttle Enterprise, and more at the Intrepid Museum in NYC.

See the world's first space shuttle, legendary warplanes, and learn about kamikaze attacks in the Second World War through immersive exhibits.

Don't miss the "Apollo: When We Went to the Moon" exhibit, showcasing the incredible journey to the moon through captivating displays.

Fun fact: Intrepid earned the nickname "The Ghost Ship" after surviving five kamikaze attacks and a torpedo strike.

Most of the experiences above the intrepid are chargeable, the 4d, the acceleration seats, the submarine and concorde tour. Disappointment. Most of the planes are replicas.
