I visited the Intrepid Museum yesterday with my husband. It’s an amazing experience to get to enter and learn about Concorde, Submarine Growler, see Space Shuttle Enterprise and see the hangers and the different aircraft on Intrepid.

Waited a few years to do this so really glad I have been now and definitely worth the wait. An amazing experience all round and very informative and interesting.

Tracy_C, Apr 2026
You climb 3 very steep ladders/stairs to get to the carrier control rooms; then you get out by going down one ladder BACKWARDS!

Excellent in every way

Was very educational for me my husband was excited was his first time in New York city. Bring your children I regret not bringing my 7 year old son

USS Intrepid and a rainy cold Friday in February

Sandra_H, Feb 2026
Great place for someone with interest in military, American History or airplanes. It was kids week so there were a lot of extra activities for smaller children. We made it through (sans kids week activities) the ship and submarine in about 3 hours. Due to the time of year and crappy weather (cold heavy rain) and no lines we didn't have to wait more than 5 mins for anything. We will go back again as several family members mentioned interest when we got home. Its clear that better weather brings much much larger crowds and with it longer lines.

Great visit

Katie_W, Feb 2026
Great museum with lots of planes. We also got to visit during kids’ week and there were so many hands on activities which were fab.

The G force experience was awesome. The staff was amazing. It's a very cool ship to see!!! Saw the space shuttle.

Really interesting

Colin_P, Oct 2025
Great experience, submarine is included, so you see Concorde, space shuttle and a huge navy ship. Really interesting and tons of photo ops.

Great experience for all ages!

Megan_L, Oct 2025
Great experience for all ages. Great value. Came here with my 21 and 19 year-old and we all loved it.. Lots to see and fun activities inside.

Must Do Experience

Ralph_H, Oct 2025
Excellent learning experience. The exhibits show the history of the carrier and provide information on operation of the carrier. The restoration and maintenance are outstanding.

Good history lesson

Dawn_P, Oct 2025
Very interesting and informative. Learned about some history I had not perviously known. Impressed by the size of the intrepid.

Awesome

Manuel_S, Sep 2025
It was great from the submarine to the ship and everything things else!! It was pretty neat to see the inside how they lived!

Great place to see naval memories

Steven_L, Sep 2025
Amazing reminder of days gone by and a fitting memorial to those lost during its time in service. Submarine museum was great too.

Nice

Heather_S, Sep 2025
We had a nice time. Lots of planes to see. And space shuttle was nice to see. Was neat to see the area where the planes would be stored and all the things they have down there.

Timed tickets made for easy entry and less crowding. We spent a good 3 hrs here and didn't read everything about everything. We designed and a must if visiting NY

Don’t pass this by!

danielle_b, Aug 2025
See everything! Nothing is a waste of time, speak to the veterans, they have some remarkable stories and take plenty of pictures my 12 year old son was mesmerized by the aircraft carrier and submarine. Highly recommend and well worth the money

Great experience! Loved...

Kim_N, Aug 2025
Great experience! Loved seeing all the different planes and helicopters! Grandsons loved the interactive experiences. Seeing the space shuttle and submarine was an added bonus!!

Not Worth It

Mario_C, Aug 2025
I would like to have seen more of the ship. Bridge, flight deck, and hangar deck doesn’t truly give much of an experience.

Nice and very organized. ...

Jennifer_F, Aug 2025
Nice and very organized. Had a very nice selection of aircraft and the space shuttle was great to see.

Worth a visit (in my opinion!)

Jayne_W, Jul 2025
Me and my saddo husband visited this. We turned up really early and were told we were ok to go in. All the staff were very friendly and polite. We spent about three and half hours just wandering around looking at all the exhibits which we loved. We ended up sat under Concorde looking out over the river. The views of New York are amazing.

Great for kids of all...

Paul_M, Jul 2025
Great for kids of all ages. You could spend over three hours if engaged in all of the hands on activities.

Very good and interactive...

Very good and interactive family trip. A lot of history and opportunity for kids and adults to learn about both the ship and submarine history. Friendly staff.

Graeme_L, Jul 2025
Loved the whole experience, allow yourself plenty of time. The queue for the Growler is worth it. So many informative displays, I learned so much about the history of everything I saw.

This is our third...

Amy_F, Jul 2025
This is our third aircraft carrier and by far the least enjoyable or immersive. A lot of pictures and reading, but very few interactive exhibits. They had some type of special speech happening, so the entire upper deck and bridge was closed, which was highly disappointing because our tickets were not discounted, but we were denied access to one of the most enjoyable parts of the ship that we wanted to see. I wish I had ever used priority booking this expensive excursion. This was not worth the money.

Museum great, Viator, not so much

Ann_W, Jun 2025
The museums were fantastic. The Viator ticket? Not so much. It caught me in a never ending loop of Open the viator app, get a code sent to email, enter the code, open the viator app. It took the supervisor at the ticket booth to override and actually print me tickets. Which she did, and was nice about it.
