This place is pretty awesome. You get to explore 3 ships which includes a submarine. So much history here and great WWII photos. Great to take your kids here.

I've been there 7 times with my father, it's what started my love for WW2 naval history. The collection of ships is huge, you could easily spend an entire day and still not explore everything. The sleepover program is great, in fact if you were considering going I would recommend sleeping over to get a larger experience. There's a few rooms inside the Massachusetts that are full of hundreds of model planes, ships, tanks, and more. The Pearl Harbor Experience is also really cool. What makes Battleship Cove especially special is that there are 2 PT boats on land, which are the only 2 left in the world. The ships are also relatively upkept compared to some others I've seen, there isn't a lot of rust or other potential safety hazards. Overall, a great experience for a 4-year old kid (like I was when I first went) or even a 95-year old WW2 vet :) (Note: If you live more than an hour's drive away, you'll either A) Need to get a motel/hotel and stay extra, B) leave super early in the morning to get there when it opens. I say this because it is not worth it to go because if you get there at say, noon, you won't have much time to experience it.)

Brought my son this summer. Even has big truck parking, IF you are a talented and patient driver. It was my second time there, budget all day!

Enjoyed very much. I went with 3 children. I was taken back by the price for us, but other than that we all enjoyed our trip.

Some great ships, submarine, planes and helicopter. We got to stay overnight on Big Mamie as part of a scouting activity. It was a lot of fun, not the best nights sleep but well worth it. Staff was friendly and informative. You could do the whole tour in a few hours. Well worth the stop.
