Go see the actual submarine as soon as you enter. Before you leave the museum , you can get two different national park stamps at the gift shop register.

Wonderful place to visit with kids. So much to see and it's FREE! It was such a cool experience to walk through inside of real submarine .

Don't turn into the base by mistake. They are very nice if you do. If you have never been on an old nuclear sub then don't pass this by. Leave a donation.

We love this place, my husband, myself, my 3 and 7 year old. We actually got to tour the inside of a submarine , that was my fave part.

Say hello to the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine , the USS Nautilus (SSN-571), and discover how the sailors lived in the 1950s.

Do not touch anything on the second floor in the library without inquiring ahead of time. Museum and The Nautilus meticulously well-kept.
