USS Turner Joy

Absolutely one of the highlights of our trip from the UK to Seattle and the wider area. So much to see and take in, so definitely allow plenty of time to enjoy your visit.nnWe really appreciated that we were able to explore the entire ship at our own pace and without any restrictions. We took the ferry back to Seattle, which was a great way to end a day of exploring.

A really amazing piece of history, with a well set up self guided tour. Went with my kids aged between 8 and 15 and they were all entertained for hours while we walked around. The experience was made even better by having veterans on board to talk about thier experiences on board that very vessel. Slightly more expensive than I expected, but I can appreciate the cost just to keep it floating.

An excellent experience. Was staying in Seattle for three days and decided to take the drive out, definitely worth it. It's crazy how cramped those gun turrets are. Very cool piece of history.

If you're looking for an adventure in history, this is the place to visit. Roaming around the ship on a self guided tour is a great way to kill a few hours and imagine yourself living and working on the ship back in the day of its active years. Volunteer tour guides can explain specific areas in detail. The Gift Shop has great memorabilia for retired service members and those currently serving along with some great kid's toys.

Its nice to see a piece of history like this. You kinda walk around but without much guidance. It is a good photo op and there is a gift shop to take back some souveniers.
