Wonderful and informative. Quite an excellent museum and tour of ship, very hands on move at your own pace.
We went to see the USS Kidd because my dad was on a ship just like it.Very good informative tour. its amazing these guys had to live in such close quarters. I would recommend this tour
It does not take long once you enter the lower decks to understand why sailors nick named Destroyers Tin Cans. If you have a problem with small spaces this might not be for you. Probably the only thing worse would be a tour of a WW II era submarine. It is well worth the tour to get an appreciation for what the sailors have endured serving on smaller ships. Best time to be around the Kidd is on the 4th when they do the re-enactment attacks with old WW II fighters.Almost any old navy ship on exhibit is worth a visit if for no other reason than to pay tribute to our naval veterans.
My wife, 6 year old, and 2 year old each enjoyed their visit. There were few other visitors this day. Therefore, we asked the man standing at the front of the ship taking tickets for an overview. He provided a great overview of the history. We had ample access to the entire ship. It was interesting to read the overviews on the posted documents. Thanks to all who served and serve today to protect our freedom!
The USA Kidd is a must see for those fascinated by war history. It is amazing to walk around the ship and see everything from the guns, navigation areas, nurse station, living quarters, etc. Clean and well kept.
We enjoyed our tour throughout the ship. The kids enjoyed climbing the stairs and being able to use a restroom on the actual ship... we loved it
Nice stop for a couple of hours to visit a WWII destroyer and honor those who served .Staff on board was very helpful and informative and friendly.
I really enjoyed the museum and the tour of this ship. Watch you head if you are tall (6'3"), as I bumped my head a few time on the hatches. It was really interesting, and I would highly recommend.
The USS Kidd is a wonderful place to take children. There is history and there is the Mississippi River to enjoy. The museum is furnishes good information and tours of the Kidd are a treat for children.
Good experience for folks to learn what military members did and how they lived to secure our freedoms!
