Good Experience - I've visited the USS Yorktown probably 25-30 times in my life as my grandpa was on the ship in WWII. We came to the reunions yearly from 1981-2001. Then off and on. As my grandfather aged it it became more difficult to travel. He would be 101 now. I always feel connected to him coming here and see the importance of bringing our son. The ghost trip was a new adventure for me. Very interesting stories and an enjoyable experience, even took some odd photos.

Great tour - Very interesting tour of a famous ship. Honored by the sacrifice made by so many that served our nation. Be sure to be physically fit on the tour. There are steep ladders and they do mean it when they say that. The ghost tour really isn’t meant for small children.
