Neat spot with historical context. No flight deck access due to wind. Barb is not super friendly, and charged $30 not $28 advertised, otherwise a good spot to visit. Veteran John was awesome.
Thank you from your Arizona friends

Let me start off with IT'S EXPENSIVE! There is only a $2.00 discount if you are military. The parking is expensive as well. There is a picture of the fees as of this review. I did not spend anymore money on this tourist trap. I did not check out the bathrooms either. If you are a civilian and would like to spend your time and money to walk through a piece of your hard earned tax money, then this may be the place for you. If you have any military background, don't waste your money; and I thank you for your service. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, and take some water with you if it's a hot day. To say the least, I was highly disappointed.

This museum is definitely worth a visit, but $30 per person feels a bit pricey. We arrived around 4 PM, and with the museum closing at 6:30 PM, we felt a bit rushed. I recommend setting aside more time so you can fully enjoy everything it has to offer ⏳. Be prepared for a lot of stairs, though! You can explore the history on your own, but I imagine it would be even more insightful with a tour guide to point out all the interesting details and stories along the way 📚.

Great activity. Paid extra for the captains tour, which was conducted by a former Navy pilot, Jim, who is also affiliated with Bulldog Tours. He was very knowledgeable and articulate. If you don't pay extra, there is still so much to explore on the ship. Worth the price!

Fantastic. Go.
We bought tickets online, but you can also buy them there.
Started off with the battleship. You get to climb up and down and see all the rooms. I reccomend starting with this first. It's not as structured as the aircraft carrier, but it's easier to navigate on your own.
Next the aircraft carrier. Really cool. Talk to the people at information when you get on. They will recommend how to experience it the best. Very helpful. There are free self guided tours included with your ticket 1 - 4. Markers on the ground. If you're short on time, skip 4. But 1 - 3 are great. LOTS of climbing up and down, so wear appropriate clothes. You really get to see everything from the top down. Make sure to also check out the Medal of Honor exhibit by information. Inspiring stories.
The Vietnam exhibit on the way out is interesting. Worth a stop for how they lay it out. The video they show is really reflective of the conflict.
Large gift shop if that's your thing.
Spent about 3+ hours there.
Paid parking, was 17.50 on exit.
