We were pleasantly surprised with this self-guided tour. My understanding is this is the only WWII submarine that is open for tours that has not been remodeled for tour access. You have to climb down the hatch just like the sailors did. We had to climb through the hatches (maybe hit our heads a couple times). Everything looked just like... More

I took my daycamp children to this submarine because I think it's cool how the submarine IS THE MUSEUM! The kids were wowed at being able to go inside and feel like an actual member of the crew. Spaces are VERY TIGHT though. Great idea.

Been going on the sub since i was a little kid, Now I take my kids on it, they love it. It is one of the few subs that is in its WW-2 configuration no holes cut in to hull for easy entrance you have to enter like the crew did Very cool.

Bigger isn't always better, in fact squeezing through the USS COD, makes you understand what "old submariner's" had as a duty to the rest of us. A rare chance to experience what I would never want to do. I'm not claustrophobic but I like a window seat so going underwater would have teriified me. God bless the sailors who can... More

If you don't know, you don't know. Go and spend a few minutes, paying tribute and respect for those that have given their lives for us.

Been on the Cod at least 12 times. Started going when the museum was fully accessible. Since then, parts of the museum have been sealed off with plexigalss to allow you to see in, and some things like silverware have been stored for protection from theft I assume. Lots of hard work by volunteers make this an incredible experience. Visitors... More

We toured the sub with our scout group on a cold October evening for the Halloween series. We thought it might be spooky but it wasn't really. The historians giving the tours did an excellent job telling great stories of the vessels life and times. The tour does require ladders and tight spaces but we managed it with our 6mo... More

Have to admit I had as much fun as my kids did crawling all through this submarine. Like a walk back through history.

Good area,good easy access from expressways. Parking can be difficult. Always nice to piggyback trip with trip to other events and museums in local area.

Ever been in a real submarine? It is very cool. It's also very hard to imagine just how the men were able to live in the incredibly small space! I had the good fortune to speak with a veteran who was visiting on the day I made my trip and it was fascinating to hear his stories about life on... More
