NYC: Intrepid Museum Entry Ticket – New York City, New York

EXPERIENCE

Visitors to the Intrepid Museum can experience a legendary aircraft carrier, the first space shuttle, the world’s fastest jets, and a Cold War-era submarine.

Discover a museum that employs history and technology to inspire and advance innovation by developing the next generation of leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math.

The Intrepid Museum is dedicated to the exhibition and interpretation of history, science, and service from its home on board the aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark.

The former aircraft carrier USS Intrepid was launched in 1943 and fought in World War II, surviving five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike. The ship later served in the Cold War and the Vietnam War. It was decommissioned in 1974, and today is berthed on the Hudson River. You get the chance to visit 4 decks of this great ship:
• Hangar Deck: A great place to start your visit and our main indoor exhibit space, the hangar deck takes you through both the hardware and humanity of Intrepid
• Flight Deck: Get an up-close look at more than two dozen authentically restored aircraft, look inside the Restoration Tent, and take a walk through history on Intrepid’s island and bridges.
– Gallery Deck: Located between the flight deck and hangar deck, the gallery deck features the combat information center (CIC), squadron ready room, and marine berthing
• Third Deck: Learn about shipboard life in Intrepid’s restored galley, enlisted mess, and crew berthing

The Space Shuttle Pavilion showcases Enterprise, the prototype NASA orbiter that paved the way for the space shuttle program. Dynamic exhibit zones feature original artifacts, photographs, audio, and films that immerse visitors in the science and history of Enterprise and the space shuttle era.

Step back in time to one of humanity’s greatest adventures at the Intrepid Museum’s latest exhibit, “Apollo: When We Went to the Moon.” Immerse yourself in the captivating story of the Apollo missions, where you’ll discover the triumphs and challenges faced by the brave astronauts who journeyed to the lunar surface.

Experience the thrill of space exploration as you walk through a recreation of the Apollo 11 command module, the spacecraft that carried Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins to the moon and back. Marvel at artifacts from the Apollo program, including moon rocks and lunar landing gear, and learn about the cutting-edge technology that made these historic missions possible.

But the exhibit isn’t just about the past—it’s also about the future. Explore how the Apollo missions paved the way for future space exploration, including NASA’s ambitious plans to return astronauts to the moon and eventually journey to Mars.
