A visit to the museum generally takes about an hour. While admission tickets can be booked online, walk-ins are also welcome.

Students, senior citizens, veterans, and children aged 3-5 receive discounted entry. First Responders, people on active military duty, and children and infants under the age of three can enter for free.

The museum admits groups of 10 to 50 people at a reduced rate per person, so be sure to inquire ahead.

If you’re cruising on the SARAH catboat, bring waterproof bags for your belongings and a jacket or windbreaker. Even though it only operates in summer, the coast can still get chilly. Reservations are required for both the catboat and rowing hours.

The museum hosts hands-on workshops aimed at younger travelers, including a volunteer-led boat-building course for middle schoolers.
