Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

Fun for any age and worth another visit. I felt very important sitting in the Captain's chair, then like a kid playing with the large mounted guns on the deck (although not child's play in it's time) and intrigued by the historical presentation on the impact of space travel on every day life. The culinary /cake tour has a receipt on a chocolate cake, no big deal... However, a chocolate cake for 3,000 sailors... That's impressive!

I'm a pretty avid museum goer and I've been to most in the city. Though this one is on the pricier side, its absolutely worth it. It's the quintessential dad museum. Unfortunately a lot of the interactive exhibits were unavailable due to covid, still my wife and I were able to spend 4+ hours here. 10/10 would recommend.

A fascinating look at the technology that has been put to use by our military and the some of the civilian advancements as a result. The Space Shuttle program alone has offered hundreds of products and processes that make our everyday life better. And who knew what it took to feed the crew if the Intrepid three meals a day. Amazing!

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum was a nice visit. PROS: Lots to see, wheelchair accessible, close to various parking garages, public restrooms, food venues (limited due to covid), and friendly staff. CONS: Only a small portion of the aircraft carrier is actually viewable, Obnoxious security check-in, and children cannot be carried through the Growler submarine tour. We enjoyed the visit but weren’t blown away by the experience. Battleship Cove in Massachusetts is a much more enjoyable museum for the simple fact that you can see so much more of the battleship.

Good thing to go there you will see something you never seen before
