What you should know

Best time Arrive early or plan to visit during off-peak hours (weekday mornings) since submarine tours operate first-come, first-served with a 10-person capacity per tour and depart every 30 minutes. Last tours start at 5:30 pm in summer and 4:30 pm in winter.

Visitor tip Teachers and homeschool educators should request the available educational programs and lesson plans to enhance the visit. The submarine's living conditions (107 men, 100°F temperatures, no showers for 2 weeks) provide powerful historical perspective that resonates with visitors.

Visitor tip Children under 5 cannot access the submarine for safety reasons but can visit the museum only for free. Plan accordingly if visiting with very young children—the tugboat walk-through and Peace Garden are suitable alternatives.

What visitors say

I was so surprised to find a submarine that you could go through with a tour guide. I think I was even more amazed finding out it held 107 men working and sleeping in it working in temperatures around 100 degrees and not able to shower…

If your a history seeker its a great place for your check off to do list. I really appreciated the place. The submarine tour was cool.

What a great little museum and tour. A lot of history in one place. Very good price for about 45 minutes tour. Our tour guide was Michael- very knowledgeable for a young man. The place was very clean and a great spot to take in some…
