Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum Tickets

That's right, zip up that bomber jacket, put on your aviator shades, and start humming "Take My Breath Away," because you're boarding the aircraft carrier known as the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. And oh yeah, they also happen to have a space shuttle, a British Airways Concorde, 27 authentically-restored aircraft and a guided missile submarine (so maybe practice your "Space Oddity" and "Yellow Submarine," too?). Walk in the footsteps of WWII sailors, from the anchor chain room to officers' staterooms. Get up an up-close look at the world's first space shuttle while eavesdropping on an actual conversation between mission control and the Enterprise. See how you'd do in the close quarters of the Growler as you explore the torpedo room and more. From the bottom of the sea to the twinkling lights of outer space, you're in for one heck of a journey.

Aircraft Carrier Intrepid 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 Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

Space Shuttle Pavilion The Space Shuttle Pavilion showcases the space shuttle Enterprise, the prototype NASA orbiter that paved the way for America’s successful space shuttle program. Seventeen 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.

Submarine Growler Growler first opened at the Intrepid Museum in 1989 and is the only American guided missile submarine open to the public. Growler offers visitors a firsthand look at life aboard a submarine and a close-up inspection of the once "top-secret" missile command center.

British Airways Concorde The fastest Atlantic Ocean crossing by any Concorde occurred on February 7, 1996 and took only 2 hours, 52 minutes and 59 seconds. This record-breaking plane—the Concorde Alpha Delta G-BOAD—is on display at the Intrepid Museum’s Pier 86.
