Itinerary
Intrepid Museum
Admission included
Intrepid Museum will host free public viewing parties for more than 50 World Cup matches on Pier 86, providing a dramatic and unique setting to cheer on your favorite team. Multiple large screens will be set up throughout the Pier, with food, beverages, and merchandise available for purchase. Please note, while the viewings on the pier are free, tickets are still required for admission into the museum.
See the Intrepid Air Craft Carrier, the Space Shuttle Pavilion, the Growler Submarine, plus watch an 8-minute film entitled 'the Story of Intrepid' and a 15-minute film called 'Kamikaze: Day of Darkness, Day of Light.'
Launched in 1943, the former aircraft carrier USS Intrepid 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. Intrepid also served as a NASA recovery vessel in the 1960s. It was decommissioned in 1974, and today is berthed on the Hudson River as the centerpiece of the museum.

Good history & tour
Eldest son wanted to go to this whilst visiting NYC as he loves naval & aircrafts.
Very easy to get to, especially due to the subway. We attended on a wet day & sadly the submarine wasn’t open which was the reason we attended as my son is a submariner himself. Unfortunately this wasn’t communicated on their website but we did enjoy seeing the rest of the displays. We ended up spending about 2 hours here then going to Chelsea Market nearby for lunch. Overall good experience & would recommend for anyone who wants insight into the history of the Intrepid.

One of the Most Interesting Museums I Visited in New York
The Intrepid Museum was a fantastic experience and definitely one of the places I enjoyed most during my trip to New York City. I wasn’t sure what to expect before visiting, but I ended up spending much more time there than I had planned.
Walking aboard the Intrepid itself was incredible. Seeing the aircraft on the flight deck up close and being able to explore the ship made the visit feel much more exciting than a traditional museum.
I also really enjoyed seeing the different aircraft and learning about their history. There are so many interesting details throughout the museum, and I found myself stopping often to read the information and look around.
The submarine was another highlight for me. It was fascinating to see how people lived and worked in such a limited space.
Everything was presented in a way that made the history easy to understand, and I think both adults and children would enjoy this museum.
Highly recommended if you’re interested in history, aviation, ships, or military technology. A memorable experience and definitely worth adding to your New York itinerary!

An amazing family day, and a front desk star named Nicolas
We visited the Intrepid Museum on September 3rd with the family and had an absolutely amazing experience. The exhibits are incredible, and there was something for every one of us, from the aircraft carrier deck to the space shuttle. It is one of those places where the kids are wide-eyed the whole time and the adults are just as impressed.
But what made the day truly special was Nicolas at the front desk. He was warm, friendly, and genuinely happy to welcome us. My son is also named Nicolas, and the two of them looked so much alike it was uncanny. Nicolas laughed and said, "It's like looking into a mirror," and my son absolutely loved it. He talked about it for the rest of the day. That small, kind moment turned a great visit into an unforgettable one.
Nicolas, if you ever see this, we just wanted to say hi and thank you. We didn't take a picture, but we won't forget you. You made a family's day. Kudos to you and to the whole Intrepid team.
Five stars, and we will definitely be back.
If you want a shorter version for a site with a character limit, here's a compact one:
Amazing family visit on September 3rd! Great exhibits, but the highlight was Nicolas at the front desk. My son is also named Nicolas and they looked so alike that he joked, "It's like looking into a mirror." My son loved it. Nicolas, if you see this, thank you for making our day. Kudos!

Exceeded My Expectations — So Much to See
The Intrepid Museum completely exceeded my expectations. We were able to get tickets through Culture Pass from the New York Public Library, which made an already great experience even better.
There is an incredible amount to see here. The flight deck is packed with different aircraft, and seeing a Concorde supersonic jet up close was a definite highlight. The exhibits throughout the museum are excellent, including an interactive video experience with immersive elements that was really well done.
Being on the Intrepid itself is fascinating, and you also get some fantastic views of the New York City skyline from the deck. There are good cafes inside as well, so it’s easy to spend several hours exploring without needing to leave.
I could have spent much more time here. Lots to see, lots to do, and far more interesting and extensive than I expected. A really fun day and definitely worth visiting.
