Wife and I toured the USS Yorktown, and what an awesome experience! If your claustrophobic at all, which were not, it might feel a little confining. Also, there is no shortage of climbing very small stairways throughout the ship, so keep that in mind and where comfortable shoes. If you are a "germaphobe," or I'd say if it was flu... More

We took a water taxi from the Marina in Charleston over to Patriot's Point. The whole site, with the aircraft carrier, the other ship and the Vietnam exhibition was very well organized and extremely interesting. The Yorktown has about 6 different tours on it that you can do(by following the arrows). The crew's quarters, mess, medical and dental facilities interested... More

The volunteer staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with any... More

There is lots to enjoy for all ages, especially in the USS Yorktown, although there are other things to enjoy here too. Patriot's Point... More

Touring an aircraft carrier is one of the things I have always wanted to do. Not only was it awesome to walk around an aircraft carrier but they had a lot of great planes on board as well. More

Wasn't sure if we'd have time to visit - but I'm so glad we did. What a cool place. There is so much history, and the ship itself is not only beautiful, but massive. I've never been on a naval ship and was impressed! You can do a self guided tour which I liked because I can go at my... More

Lots to see, several easy walking tours aboard ship, aircraft, submarine, and adjacent destroyer "The Laffey" - the indestructible ship of WWII. Medal of Honor Museum includes lots of personal stories of recipients. Leave yourself at least 2 hours. More

This is a a spectacular museum. You can climb around the innards of the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, seeing everything from the bridge to the engine room. Throughout the carrier are interesting displays that showcase naval aviation history. Our kids loved climbing around, turning dials, sitting the captain chair, and touching all of the airplanes on the flight deck. There... More
