"High School Field Trip"

Reviewed December 03, 2024 NEW

We attended a History Tour for a field trip on October 30th 2024. Our high school students were very involved and interested in with tour and the information shared by the tour guide. For an additional cost, lunch was provided. Our students were able to eat the sandwiches in the cafeteria portion of the ship, this experience was the perfect ending to the tour!

"Great Overnight experience for Cub Scouts"

Reviewed November 25, 2024 NEW

We did the overnight tour with our Cub Scout Pack and it was an incredible learning experience for our scouts. The kids got show respect by learning how to fold the flag. We ate and slept where the enlisted ate and slept. We learned a great deal about modern weaponry.
