History buffs and curious kids alike will love visiting this awesome battleship museum in Massachusetts. Unlike your typical educational attraction, this place lets you experience history firsthand by exploring a half-dozen real battleships. Here’s what you need to know about Battleship Cove.
All aboard Battleship Cove, the state’s only floating museum and the world’s largest collection of historic naval ships!
Walking around these massive ships is truly an experience like no other. During your visit, you’ll learn about the lives and work of the sailors who crewed the vessels and the military events that shaped America.
The USS Massachusetts, in particular, is sure to wow you. This humungous destroyer houses an entire museum in its belly and is almost too big to see in one go, so be sure to budget your time wisely.
Admission for adults is $18 and children aged six to 14 can get in for $11. Kids under six are free and there are discounts for seniors, military members, and veterans. Considering you get to explore six ships and countless exhibits, this is a bargain.
This attraction is suitable for adults and kids. There’s seriously so much to see here, so arrive early in the day (it opens daily at 9 a.m.) to make sure you get to everything.
