Aaron BatchelderAugust 18, 201511/10 would recommend. The Intrepid is the pinnacle of naval history. It fought in WW2; fought in Nam w/ McCain flying jets off of it; and was the command center during 9/11. Truly inspiring.

Chris R (thechristophe)December 23, 2014One of the best museums in New York, crawl all over a carrier including the bridge and planes, climb through a submarine, get up close to the Space Shuttle Enterprise, visit Concorde - amazing.
Rebecca BalnisSeptember 9, 2017So, about this American naval history learning thing. I'm doing it better than you.
Tomas SOctober 17, 2017Best museum so far in NYC. A lot to see from the aircraft carrier, to drone exhibit and walking inside a submarine. Great experience. We squeezed a visit in 1h30m but you might want to take more time.
Junior CarmelloAugust 27, 2014Classic World War display with amazing fighters and classic aircrafts. On top of that, you still can see the historic Enterprise Space Shuttle and the Concord.
Space shuttle, Submarine, Jet Planes, War ships, F-16, Concord... Awesome place! A must-see for anyone visiting New York or even New Yorkers. Really all y'all need is to come here and check it out
NASAMarch 30, 2013Visit the space shuttle Enterprise. It was the 1st orbiter built & began service in 1977. Designed to be an atmosphere and ground test vehicle, it never saw space flight.
Brandon F.January 19, 2022This is a must for any aviation/maritime enthusiasts. Nice selection of aircraft and all on a carrier that saw action during WWII (Kamikaze strikes) — decommissioned in the 70’s.
ElizabethAugust 21, 2015What a great museum! There is something for everyone here. You probably cannot see it all in one day. We let the kids lead the way based on their interests.

Frits VisserMay 7, 2019Wonderful to visit. Lots to do and see. Real life experience of the past icons. Shuttle must bigger than expected. Concorde smaller than expected. Glad I could see it in real life.
Alex LumaDecember 18, 2013The Flight Deck at the Intrepid museum holds most of Intrepid's collection of authentically restored aircraft and also facilitates the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which holds the space shuttle Enterprise.
Untapped CitiesAugust 29, 2017The museum’s staple attraction is the aircraft carrier Intrepid, which was used in World War II, The Cold War, and The Vietnam War until its decommission in 1974. Read more
The Corcoran GroupDecember 12, 2011If you get the chance, attend a concert or a movie screening on the deck of this amazing museum. It’s magical. We also love exploring the insides of this historical gem.
Teachers College Student AffairsJuly 1, 2013After a 2-year leave for restoration and renovation, the Intrepid Museum now boasts new exhibits, interactive elements, newly opened areas of the ship, and a completely restored aircraft collection.
Marie La RueMay 1, 2023A must visit for historical buffs and science enthusiasts. Humbling and fascinating. USS Growler is a highlight.
- Anthony CameronAugust 19, 2017You should go for the chance to walk around an aircraft carrier, a nuclear deterrent submarine, and see a space shuttle, Concorde and other aircraft. Unforgettable

- Intrepid MuseumSeptember 17, 2013Don't forget to stop by the restoration tent on the Flight Deck of the Intrepid. Here's a pic of the Museum’s Aircraft Restoration team working on a F3H Demon jet fighter.
- Intrepid MuseumOctober 23, 2014When you come to the Museum, be sure to purchase access to the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which now features our temporary exhibition, HUBBLE@25! http://bit.ly/ZfFzDk
Tilman BeneckeFebruary 11, 2018Great museum. Lots of history (although it lacks some facts, specifically the not so US-glorifying facts). Interesting war machinery, a Concord, a submarine, even a space shuttle...
Gordon MeiJuly 19, 2014Aircraft-carrier-turned museum with Space Shuttle Enterprise, fighter jets, and spy plane on the flight deck. An inflatable planetarium dome in the hangar deck. In summer, Top Gun on the flight deck.- Damon SununtnasukApril 21, 20171.5 hours of queuing outside, then 45 mins wait for the submarine. Don't buy tickets ahead of time because you wait with the super long City Pass line. Ticket window line seemed to move faster
Jeff ForbesJuly 17, 2014The intrepid does movie nights during the summer. Pretty awesome, and free! Get in line early -- they start handing out tickets @ 6:30p and it's first come first serve. Bring a picnic but no booze :(- Intrepid Sea, Air & Space MuseumJuly 10, 2013The Space Shuttle Pavilion, featuring Enterprise, is open to the public at the Intrepid Museum. Here’s a photo of the ribbon cutting from this morning’s reopening ceremony. Read more
LeonieMarch 30, 2013Be sure to book at least a day to explore this place, it's humungous. Such a great day, but don't come the flight deck if it is extremely cold, it isn't too pleasant! The staff are very friendly.
Jacob ForsterAugust 21, 2015Don't miss the kamikaze show! It's in the middle of the lower level of the intrepid and is easy to miss. It plays every hour and is worth waiting around for!
Alice T.January 15, 2015Got a Groupon that included admission and a tour. We chose the WWII tour! Kevin used maps to illustrate a pretty complicated campaign, super effective and a wonderful experience!
Iro ProdromouMay 14, 2015You should definitely buy the all inclusive ticket! You get to see : the enterprise airbus and the submarine from the inside!

Sweta MohapatraNovember 14, 2014Make sure to check out the huge Lego model, it's a little obscured by the big screens in the entrance but it's got a ton of little details.

Mikaela PruneauOctober 5, 2018The museum was amazing. Pay the extra $10 to get the audio tour. It really helps and you learn even more that what is displayed.
Carl GriffinDecember 25, 2015Great exhibitions of everything seafaring, space travel and aviation. You can also view USS Growler (submarine) & a British concorde.
Jonathan AllenApril 21, 2017Buy your ticket online to avoid the queue. I waited about 15/20 minutes to get in. You cannot get inside the concord unless you pay 20 USD for the guided tour.
Buy your tickets online before you arrive. Not only do you save $2 per person but you get to skip most of the long lines.

SammanApril 23, 2013A fully functional aircraft carrier ship + submarine + planes (Concorde, helicopters, Space Shuttle, etc.) – what’s not to love? Don't miss the yearly screening of Top Gun on the flight deck.
Alex HayworthJune 19, 2017Aircraft carrier. Also a submarine chillin' next to it. They have an SR-71 Blackbird on the deck, a.k.a. my inner child squeals at the sight of it.
Ilias ChantzakosMay 17, 2015Top sight! Book several hours to enjoy the carrier and aircraft, the submarine, the space shuttle, and an optional tour to the Concorde.
Janet Kirk WillackerJanuary 20, 2018Excellent for history buffs. Amazing to see and experience the air craft carrier, submarine, see the space shuttle. Wow! Just loved it and learned a lot.
