Gain admission to The Intrepid Museum, New York City's only educational institution housed on an aircraft carrier. Make your way to the Hudson River to see the flight deck and more on the legendary USS ‘Intrepid.’ In addition, you’ll get up close to the first space shuttle (the ‘Enterprise’) and explore a guided missile submarine (the USS ‘Growler’). You’re connected to history and innovation through interactive exhibits and firsthand accounts — something the entire family can enjoy. Intrepid Museum's largest temporary exhibition is now open March 26-September 2, 2024 - "Apollo: When We Went to the Moon".

Very nice

Benjamin_B, Apr 2024

Educational did not understand before went time of movies, missed the on about The Intrepid. Our schedule did not permit staying.

Rip off experience

Darren_C, Apr 2024

Absolutely awful experience. 50% of the intrepid is closed off and then to enjoy some of the other things such as the simulators, you need to pay extra. Full price yet only half experience. One to avoid.

Your sight never sent me an email with tickets . I had to go to box office and they warned me to never use your site again

My eight-year-old son and I are thrilled with the museum. It's one of the best we've ever visited. Kudos to the exhibits, content, and staff. We will definitely return!

Fun experience.

Visit at Intrepid museum NYC for Apollo exhibition, among others. Had wonderful time, as I am a space crazy...

A must-see for any NYC trip

Chris_T, Apr 2024

Very cool museum; even my skeptical 10 year old loved it. The history and technological might on display are humbling and awesome. Take the time to read the placards for all the aircraft; some really interesting stories. And the museum does a good job focusing on the humans involved, and remains solemn while being very engaging.

Awesome.

Wolfel, Apr 2024

A real great museum. Showing incredible planes and stories from the history. Really impressive. Just take your time.

Visit the Intrepid on a good weather day

joaneh, Apr 2024

The exhibits are marvelous. We visited on a cold, rainy day and it was really uncomfortable to look at the outside exhibits.

Great museum, don't miss the space shuttle!

Ted_N, Mar 2024

Really well down museum, especially if anyone in your group is into war history and planes. The space portion is not to be missed!

Great museum. Lots of information and cool artifacts. The flight simulator was hard to control and not worth the extra money.

A great experience

Timothy_B, Mar 2024

Docents were very friendly and knowledgeable! Definitely coming back for more. A fitting tribute to all who served on this ship.

Amazing!!!

Jackelyn_V, Mar 2024

Sooo much to see!! It’s really interactive and great for all ages. One thing is that those with mobility issues in wheelchairs may have a little struggle in some areas, but there are elevators and wide walkways. Had a great time.

Antonio_S, Mar 2024

The whole exebition is very interesting, not beeing able to visit the concorde and the space shuttle was quite frustrating.

Sub

Bennett_B, Mar 2024

The Sub, disappointed the shuttle was not open!! The web site should have said something about it being closed

Unhappy

Jaafar_W, Mar 2024

Well to be real with u, u guys are putting an old aircrafts and i really prefer the modern, sr71 looks fake and the only interesting aircraft was f-14 tomcat, i came all the way from Iraq to see new yurk and ur aircraft carrier was differently on my checklist but unfortunately it didn't meet my expectations, anyways god bless u guys and i hope u bring some modern retired aircrafts🌹.

Bad

Anguibe_G, Mar 2024

The intrepid was great. The ticket buying experience through Viator was Horrible. I would give it no stars if possible. Luckily the people at the intrepid were used to the unreliability of this app and let me and my family in anyway. I will definitely never use this app again or recommend it.

Shame!

Wendy_M, Mar 2024

We visited at the wrong time of year, the space shuttle and concorde we're closed off to the public, I'm sure it's brilliant with those open.

Enigmatic New York
