It was the second time we have been to Intrepid and again it did not disappoint. Coupled with Fleet Week and all the associated stands, our time there passed too quickly. Although the weather was not too great, rain after all the sunshine, there was plenty to do inside the ship. It was wonderful to see the tall ships along the quayside. Everybody was so friendly.

Visited with 3 children ages 5 -10, during Kids Week at The Intrepid Museum. They were not too sure at the beginning, but all ended up loving it! Being able to see actual planes and helicopters (even climb inside one!) helped solidify how HUGE the ship had to be to accommodate all the aircraft, as well as all the people to run the ship. We climbed up and around every available level, seeing what life was like on board. Staff we readily available for information and directions, in addition to the map (available in multiple languages). Kids Week activities had something for everyone to do, and gave a change of pace for everyone from time to time throughout the day. We stayed much longer than we had anticipated, as there was so much to see and do, and all went home tired and happy.

Go on a mission to explore the iconic Intrepid aircraft carrier, space shuttle Enterprise, and more at the Intrepid Museum in NYC.

See the world's first space shuttle, legendary warplanes, and learn about kamikaze attacks in the Second World War through immersive exhibits.

Don't miss the "Apollo: When We Went to the Moon" exhibit, showcasing the incredible journey to the moon through captivating displays.

Fun fact: Intrepid earned the nickname "The Ghost Ship" after surviving five kamikaze attacks and a torpedo strike.

Headout is awesome! The interface works so user friendly, and I could save some bucks with the discounts as well. What else would I need. Also, I can now explore more based on suggestions from Headout. I love it.

The tour took us on a journey back in time. It was very interesting and enjoyable to walk up the stairs to the different levels and see the well-maintained facilities. I’m definitely coming back with friends.

The entire flight deck was closed to those of us who had paid full (and high) price and was especially looking forward to seeing it. Bummer for my European visitors.
