Our family of six visited this great little sub so that they could see what a smaller sub looked like inside. The children were amazed that it was at onetime a working sub. This sits right off the highway and you can not miss it.

One of my favorites in Portsmouth. At $5, worth every penny and more. Self guided, go at your own pace - great look and walk thru a REAL submarine. In original condition, amazing to see how these guys lived and worked on this vessel. Actually,a bit chilling to imagine that existence. Be sure to look for it - as it's... More

This submarine is complete just as when it was commissioned in the US Navy. It is a GREAT tourist attraction.

Children will have a lot of fun climbing through the submarine and pretending to be the captain. I would highly recommend taking the time to visit, with or... More

However I was really glad we went in. It is a self guided tour but along the way there are kiosk where you can hit an... More

Who isn't fascinated by life in a cramped tube deep beneath the sea for days or months at a time? Although the Albacore's mission was more of an experimental prototype for all other submarines, it was an impressive and necessary project for our naval preparedness. From the outside, the Albacore looks like something to take a quick picture of and... More

My 9 year old son was sold as soon as we said submarine, but even the 13 year old daughter said "Cool" by the time we left!
