If you have an interest in military history, especially World War II or Vietnam, this is a must-see. You get a first-rate look at Naval aircraft and life aboard an aircraft carrier. There are many exhibits and you can wander throughout many areas of the ship.
We took the 1-hour tour (ticketed) and our tour guide Connor was an absolute expert about the aircraft carrier and all the types of Naval aircraft from all eras. It was an exceptional tour.
Plan on being there at least a few hours—longer if you like to see everything and get into the details. There are a couple of places to purchase snacks or food while you’re there.

Museum was very well laid out for a military vessel. Descriptions were well done for the lay person. The Concord was interesting. Docents were very good and really passionate about their task. Great experience

Cool, stuff you could only see in movies and news broadcasts. The submarine walkthrough a huge bonus! Fantastic stuff of what used to make America great.

My phone died so I couldn't show my online ticket and was basically told sorry can't do anything for you. So paid for a tour I couldn't do and drove from Ontario to see it

A really amazing experience. Highlight was the Growler submarine. It is hard to believe that the submariners could exist underwater in such cramped conditions for so long. The aircraft carrier itself was fascinating and we really enjoyed the planes and other aircraft on the Flight deck.

Impressive to see the planes, the ship, and the space travel exhibit. Gives a good impression of its history. We’re not the type to read each sign or watch each video and so forth, so there’s a lot more info to get. But me and my son spent about 2,5 hours and had a good time.

Very interesting place so much history in one place, amazing variety of planes, space ship, submarine, ship and helicopter. It's great being able to get on board and ex military ship and submarine to see what like would have been like aboard and also seeing fighter jets and helicopters up close. The NASA exhibit was really interesting and amazing to see a real space shuttle up close. The growler was brilliant too slightly harder to navigate with all the water tight bulkhead door ways but this is expected on board and ex naval submarine. Over all fantastic experience
