Living in California and visiting the Midway Aircraft Carrier in San Diego often we were a little disappointed in the Intrepid. The planes are old and not cleaned. The aircraft carrier is also more run down and has not been as refurbished as the Midway. More

One in a lifetime chance to walk around an aircraft carrier, see the Space Shuttle Enterpise (July 2012), a BA Concorde, a nuclear submarine AND loads of US aircraft. Very doable in 1.5 to 2 hours. The rides are pricey and there are always classes of kids around though. More

If you like your planes and ships this is a must see, so many different aircraft's on display, including the SR71 Blackbird and Concorde. Just wish we had gone later in the year to see the spaceshuttle Enterprise. the Audio commentary is also fantastic as is the knowledge of the guides located around the ship. More

I have been wanting to take our 2 kids (13 yrs Boy and 11 yrs Girl) and Wife to see this for a while. We did it on Mothers day to avoid any crowds. We traveled from South Jersey, but I HATE driving in NYC so we went to the Ferry in Weehawken. (that was more expensive then I thought)... More
