It was most definitely one of the highlights of our New England trip.
Excellently presented and well restored vessel, with a fantastic background and a lot of history. Many articles are on display in the building and they have a great video detailing the transport of the submarine from the ocean to where it sits now.
I loved this place. It's not everyday that you go inside a submarine. The man working there was very informative and friendly. Great experience!
This museum displays an actual submarine; the USS Albacore 569. It is an amazing tourist site, situated in a nice environment and close to downtown of Portsmouth. Great activity to undertake with the entire family. You are guaranteed an awesome experience exploring the inside of the submarine. It is a self guided tour, have fun pressing the buttons. It can get crowded depending on the number of people visiting. A little tip here is to go through the ship as many times as you please. My family and I went through twice.
The tickets were surprisingly cheap considering everything else we had or wanted to visit in the New England area was much more expensive. We were pleasantly surprised that it cost only $14 for both my husband and I to view the submarine.
This museum was fantastic!
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and were able to provide insight in many areas of the vessel's history.
The staff was very friendly and extremely willing to answer questions.
This is a great place to learn some history and have some fun. There is a small museum with lots of information and details about the Albacore. We were able to walk through the sub on a self guided tour and were able to see what it was like for the men on the sub. It was amazing to see what the inside of the sub looked like and how the men lived their daily lives. There is also a nice little park area to walk through.
With the exception of two small rooms (which you could still view quite easily), no area was off limits in this sub. You could go anywhere, touch anything, and they had very informative audio informational boxes located throughout the sub.
