Love this “living museum” next to the aquarium! My teens were not into the aquarium but wanted to visit Baltimore and this is a unique experience! The view is nice if you are not as mobile, with seats around the outside of the ship. Very unique experience better than any “box” museum!

This was a very cool experience with two hilarious and very knowledgeable guides. Each tour of this vessel is guided and takes about 30 minutes. They do not allow you to roam freely, because there is VERY little room to maneuver. If you are claustrophobic and/or do not enjoy tight places, you might want to skip this one. The interior of the vessel is in good repair and the guides take you through the daily life of a submariner while showing you every compartment and all of the vital components of the vessel.Tickets for this ship also get you access to the USS Constellation, Lightship LV116 Chesapeake, and USCG Cutter 37. Tickets are not expensive, but parking can be. Your best bet is to just bite the bullet and park in one of the public garages along the waterfront. Parking is available on some streets, but good luck finding a spot… plus you’ll have to pay the meter anyway. Additionally, there are numerous very good restaurants all along the waterfront as well.

Very cool to see what would life be like under the sea in a submarine, not a yellow submarine but a war ship. There was a lot to take in and explore and not a problem with Close quarters. It’s really wasnt to tight for the time we were aboard. Walking through each compartment and imagining how a sailor life was excited and intense. Almost wanted me to join to be part of a mission. Overall, full of information, fun to explore and easy on the legs, sea legs that is.

This is an amazing WW2 submarine. I was the only person walking through it so I got to really check it out. I would have liked to see more signage and access to the periscope area. Other then that, go see it before there are no more WW2 submarines available to walk through left anymore.

World War II Submarine berthed in Baltimore's Inner Harbor that can be explored when purchasing a Historic Ships of Baltimore ticket.
