Great displays, not crowded and a helpful staff. Remember the newer cold war and newer annex and the outdoor displays. Huge gun on a train!
You can spend hours here. It is child friendly. ..hands on and things to climb on! You have to check it the submarine section with real periscopes and "DIVE" alarm.
This place is a hidden treasure! And it's free!
Small gift shop with lots of Navy and ship stuff.
Wow! What a great experiece to see this museum. Great for all ages. It is guarded and policed by the Navy. Gated. I visited with some of the Honor Flight vets, and they loved it.
Great museum but damn near impossible to get into for civilians. You must submit paperwork for a mandatory background check at the O street entrance. The whole process takes well over an hour. The office personnel headed by the vigilant Captain May does not follow its own procedures printed on the background request forms and constantly badgers you for additional personal information that is not required. I am not sure what the Navy’s goal was in building this museum but it definitely wasn’t for sharing its rich history with the public. The museum itself is pretty awesome although I am not sure whether is worth the hassle given all the amazing alternatives available near by. PS: civilian access is only available on weekdays when captain May is available to perform his national security duties :)
Probably nice, but not really open to public. Tried visiting on Veterans Day. Website said it wasn't closed. Arrived to find out visitors center was not open to give access to non military and museum was also not open.
