Outstanding museum with huge amounts of information and activities for all ages. You could spend all day doing all of the stuff. Great views and entrance to other exhibits in the building
Well presented, interactive naval museum . USS Wisconsin is the highlight, but good range of other exhibits too. No parking at Nauticus but a parking lot on Main Street right opposite just yards away.
Visit us at Dickens' Christmas Towne now through December 27 in the lower level of the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center. Don't for get to check in at Dicken's Christmas Towne .
You have to pay for the Nauticus science section and the USS Wisconsin , but the Naval Museum is free. It has some great exhibits so check out that freebie section!
If you have kids, the Spy Ship opportunity is a great way to keep them entertained! Even my 13 year olds loved it!
NASA operates many robots remotely. In the Secrets of the Deep exhibit , you can take control of the submersible called The Clelia as you operate a 9 ft robotic arm and remote camera to explore. Read more
They do this great living river tour where you get to pull up right next to the ship !
Allow plenty of time to explore the battleship. Also, make sure to stop in and watch all the videos.
If you want a nice view while eating you lunch there's a searing area on the second floor that's always open. Just beautiful!!!!!
Excellent hands on exhibits , and not just for children!
Entrance price only covers entrance to a very small part of this very large ship . There are 2 tours offered of the inside spaces, but both cost extra. I hope the experience gets better.
I most enjoyed the many model ships throughout the museum . A model builder and lovers paradise.
Displays of naval history and the USS Wisconsin
Very cool, a must see for locals and tourists alike!
WinterFest is awesome!
A lot of this museum is free, so it can be a pretty cheap excursion.
Outstanding! Great history! Don't forget to donate!!
Love all the hands on activities for the little ones
Plan on spending 3 hrs minimum. There's so much to do!
Great place to visit with your kids!
