This place is awesome!! From the entrance- where you find a rendering from the pages of 20,000 leagues under the sea hanging overhead- to actually stepping foot onto the nuclear submarine- this place is really cool! Educational and hands on- what more could one ask?!

I've visited Mystic a couple of times before, and always said "Next time" re: going to The Submarine Force Museum. Well, we finally took the time and I'm so glad we did!
