It was a nice tour, at your own pace. Very informative and interesting. Safely takes you though the ship to see the different areas of interest.
I really enjoyed myself touring through the history of this vessel. It was very informative. I thought it was going to be the same thing as the USS Alabama but it wasn't. It was neat to see the difference between the two.
great ship, self tour from top to bottom. a great 4hr tour for the little boy in you. seeing and touching a battleship of this size is fantastic. seeing the ship and connecting the battleship with historical naval battles of WW 2.I loved looking out of the bridge down the bow over the two huge turrents and 16 inch guns.even the wife enjoyed the tour.well worth the time.
Great ship, self guided tours that take you through areas that you're interested in and at your own pace. Good gift shop. Well set up ship, with displays on the guns, the bridge, and the working spaces below decks.
I went to Wilmington not intending to go to the Battleship, but when I got there the place I was going to visit was closed. So we drove past it and my 6 and 3 year old wanted to go in. I was very uninterested but went anyway. I was so impressed!! It was great!! A little bit of reading, a lot for my young kids to see and it was something that took awhile to walk through. Very entertaining. I plan on going back.
What can you say, a real battleship you can walk through and check out. Educational to say the least, an eye opener to what the sailors who lived aboard had to endure. A great way to spend few hours. Walking and stairs are necessary.
A large pretty well made tour around the ship, put together by people who really enjoy the history of the ship. It's worth stopping and checking out if you happen to be in the area.
Great experience. our group of 4 did the self guided tour. Route was very well marked with excellent information at each stop.
The battleship is not to be missed - the tour is detailed and extensive; it's the kind of place you could visit more than once and probably learn something new each time. Really top notch for anyone, especially so for those who have or are really interested in military history.One caution - there can be a lot of climbing - you're really going through the ship. But I do believe they have an alternate route through for those who might have trouble with the ladders. Double check that before you go.If you're lucky, you'll see the local alligators near the ship (I didn't, but I know they're there).
A MUST SEE in Wilmington. Find out what it was like to live and work on a World War II Battleship. Look out for the "sugar free" chewing gum sign!
