Aaron BatchelderAugust 18, 201511/10 would recommend. The Intrepid is the pinnacle of naval history. It fought in WW2; fought in Nam w/ McCain flying jets off of it; and was the command center during 9/11. Truly inspiring.
Upvoted Feb 27- Chris R (thechristophe)December 23, 2014One of the best museums in New York, crawl all over a carrier including the bridge and planes, climb through a submarine, get up close to the Space Shuttle Enterprise, visit Concorde - amazing.

Rebecca BalnisSeptember 9, 2017So, about this American naval history learning thing. I'm doing it better than you.
Tomas SOctober 17, 2017Best museum so far in NYC. A lot to see from the aircraft carrier, to drone exhibit and walking inside a submarine. Great experience. We squeezed a visit in 1h30m but you might want to take more time.Upvoted Jan 26
Junior CarmelloAugust 27, 2014Classic World War display with amazing fighters and classic aircrafts. On top of that, you still can see the historic Enterprise Space Shuttle and the Concord.
ElizabethAugust 21, 2015What a great museum! There is something for everyone here. You probably cannot see it all in one day. We let the kids lead the way based on their interests.
Brandon F.January 19, 2022This is a must for any aviation/maritime enthusiasts. Nice selection of aircraft and all on a carrier that saw action during WWII (Kamikaze strikes) — decommissioned in the 70’s.
NASAMarch 30, 2013Visit the space shuttle Enterprise. It was the 1st orbiter built & began service in 1977. Designed to be an atmosphere and ground test vehicle, it never saw space flight.
Alice T.January 15, 2015Got a Groupon that included admission and a tour. We chose the WWII tour! Kevin used maps to illustrate a pretty complicated campaign, super effective and a wonderful experience!
LeonieMarch 30, 2013Be sure to book at least a day to explore this place, it's humungous. Such a great day, but don't come the flight deck if it is extremely cold, it isn't too pleasant! The staff are very friendly.
NoelleAugust 11, 2012Also, their summer movie nights are a must-do at least once. Incredible view, great movie choices, and free! I really enjoyed it a - well worth the trip to NY for the night. Info on their website.
Carl GriffinDecember 25, 2015Great exhibitions of everything seafaring, space travel and aviation. You can also view USS Growler (submarine) & a British concorde.
Alex LumaDecember 18, 2013The Flight Deck at the Intrepid museum holds most of Intrepid's collection of authentically restored aircraft and also facilitates the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which holds the space shuttle Enterprise.
Space shuttle, Submarine, Jet Planes, War ships, F-16, Concord... Awesome place! A must-see for anyone visiting New York or even New Yorkers. Really all y'all need is to come here and check it out
Marie La RueMay 1, 2023A must visit for historical buffs and science enthusiasts. Humbling and fascinating. USS Growler is a highlight.
Intrepid MuseumOctober 23, 2014When you come to the Museum, be sure to purchase access to the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which now features our temporary exhibition, HUBBLE@25! http://bit.ly/ZfFzDk
Untapped CitiesAugust 29, 2017The museum’s staple attraction is the aircraft carrier Intrepid, which was used in World War II, The Cold War, and The Vietnam War until its decommission in 1974. Read more
Iro ProdromouMay 14, 2015You should definitely buy the all inclusive ticket! You get to see : the enterprise airbus and the submarine from the inside!
Sweta MohapatraNovember 14, 2014Make sure to check out the huge Lego model, it's a little obscured by the big screens in the entrance but it's got a ton of little details. Super cool!
Anthony CameronAugust 19, 2017You should go for the chance to walk around an aircraft carrier, a nuclear deterrent submarine, and see a space shuttle, Concorde and other aircraft. Unforgettable
The Corcoran GroupDecember 12, 2011If you get the chance, attend a concert or a movie screening on the deck of this amazing museum. It’s magical. We also love exploring the insides of this historical gem.
Teachers College Student AffairsJuly 1, 2013After a 2-year leave for restoration and renovation, the Intrepid Museum now boasts new exhibits, interactive elements, newly opened areas of the ship, and a completely restored aircraft collection.

Tilman BeneckeFebruary 11, 2018Great museum. Lots of history (although it lacks some facts, specifically the not so US-glorifying facts). Interesting war machinery, a Concord, a submarine, even a space shuttle...
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space MuseumJuly 31, 2013We have several upcoming events happening in August, including a free screening of Top Gun on the Flight Deck (8/15) and the Former Crew Member Homecoming weekend, Aug 16-18.

Jacob ForsterAugust 21, 2015Don't miss the kamikaze show! It's in the middle of the lower level of the intrepid and is easy to miss. It plays every hour and is worth waiting around for!- Intrepid MuseumOctober 20, 2015We just opened two new exhibitions, On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War and City at Sea: USS Intrepid, which is produced in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities!

Ilias ChantzakosMay 17, 2015Top sight! Book several hours to enjoy the carrier and aircraft, the submarine, the space shuttle, and an optional tour to the Concorde.
Jeff ForbesJuly 17, 2014The intrepid does movie nights during the summer. Pretty awesome, and free! Get in line early -- they start handing out tickets @ 6:30p and it's first come first serve. Bring a picnic but no booze :(
Uddhav KambliAugust 6, 2012Join the will call queue to get in early on busy days. If you forgot to buy online, you can still join the general queue after the security check. Yeah. But don't forget because they are $2 cheaper.
Janet Kirk WillackerJanuary 20, 2018Excellent for history buffs. Amazing to see and experience the air craft carrier, submarine, see the space shuttle. Wow! Just loved it and learned a lot.
Jonathan AllenApril 21, 2017Buy your ticket online to avoid the queue. I waited about 15/20 minutes to get in. You cannot get inside the concord unless you pay 20 USD for the guided tour.
Tomáš JanoušekAugust 2, 2014Come really early if you wish to see and listen to everything. Don't bother buying tickets for the G-Force encounter though, the simulation lags and joysticks are badly calibrated.- Frits VisserMay 7, 2019Wonderful to visit. Lots to do and see. Real life experience of the past icons. Shuttle must bigger than expected. Concorde smaller than expected. Glad I could see it in real life.
AstoriawinedivaMarch 8, 2012Just a great interactive & educational journey for all ages. What a way to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire our youth! took my son for Memorial day - wow - goosebumps.
Rob CooperJuly 27, 2013Get the audio tour. Even if you skip over the actual tour to listen to the accounts from the men that actually served in the Intrepid - it's worth it.- Elizabeth LeeOctober 18, 2016Get the NY pass and free admission to this museum. Worth it just to check out the airplanes and submarine.

Josh AFebruary 13, 2016Cool museum for military buffs. Seemed like a decent amount for the kiddos too. Others may not be impressed. Cool plane selection relative to similar museums.
Buy your tickets online before you arrive. Not only do you save $2 per person but you get to skip most of the long lines.
- NoelleAugust 11, 2012Budget your time to get through crowds at the entrance. Particularly if you're in a big group, you can be waiting in line for quite awhile, depending on the time of day. Mid-morning took awhile!
Yerna GillesSeptember 10, 2014Even though it's a tourist place, it's still a must see. This place hold lot of history of our world and what made it the way we know it...
Thu DangMarch 28, 2015Such a wonderful idea to reuse the ship. I will come back to check out the free movie events in the summer.
Tiffany LamAugust 5, 2012Purchase your tickets online and choose will call. It will save you a lot of time because the lines are very long and it's always crowded to purchase when you get here.
Natalia BakerOctober 14, 2014Warship, concorde, space shuttle all in a super cool museum that takes you to the Hudson river's edge for a nice view.
