Free tour of the battleship USS IOWA - I loved visiting the battleship USS IOWA. Free visit of about 1 hour where you can see the control room, bunks, canteen, missiles and guns. It was really great! Note: it is easy to park on the main street right next door. Very reasonable price via Booking.

Enjoy a bit of history - We love a ship tour, and this one didn't disappoint. There was a friendly welcome and an easy tour to follow, with plenty of stops along the way and interesting details to take in. There's a scavenger hunt for kids and a spot for sodas/hot dogs. Decent, if a bit expensive, shop. Definitely worth two hours and a great stop if you are going to/from a cruise ship. They do have luggage storage if you need it!

Excellent experience - A great day for our family. Enjoyed the extra input and tour of Presidential quarters. Easy to get to and enjoyed walking to eat nearby afterwards.

A1, Highly recommended - A visit to any historical US Navy ship should not be passed up. The USS Iowa visit was an experience to be remembered. The people tending to the visit very courteous and friendly. The self conducted tour was fun and interesting and we could spend as much time as wanted without any pressure to move on.

Battleship IOWA - If you’re into warships or naval history, this place is an absolute must! The ship is impressive and full of fascinating details. It’s a great experience if you’ve got about an hour and a half to two hours to explore

Family of four saw a BIG ship and loved it - We did the crew tour which was well worth the price. Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommend. Our two teenagers were engaged the entire time. Be aware, there are a lot of stairs/ladders to climb on the tour.

Second Visit to the USS Iowa - We truly enjoyed our trip to the Battleship Iowa. Spent a little over two hours touring and exploring the vessel in the areas allowed. I definitely recommend a visit to this ship. I will return for a third time.
