I remember visiting the USS Massachusetts at Battleship Cove. It was the high point of my two day visit. There was so much to explore inside and out! Reading about the history, seeing the exhibits and exploring every nook and cranny of this battleship helped me imagine what life was like on board. What stood out in my mind the most was learning that they served ice cream to the crew. Rank had no privileges and it was first come first serve! Even the captain had to wait in line! I highly recommend visiting all of Battleship Cove.

USS Massachusetts is part of Battleship Cove. The Cove has three ships and a submarine for tour. The sub is currently closed for renovations but the other ships are available to tour. Small gift shop on site, ample parking. $20/per, military and other discounts are available, bringing the price to $16. Highly recommend checking out these cool pieces of history!

Thus was a wonderful experience for our pack. They had stations set up for the kids and Morse Code and even a tour below deck. We got to sleep in bunkers and the kids loved the meals. (Me too)

Holy cow. Bring along a pair of comfortable shoes because you will do a lot of walking, climbing, bending, stooping, and gawking. There is so much to see!

I hadn't been to the Battleship Massachusetts in around 20 years or so. I was visiting the area with my Daughter this past week, and she suggested we take a tour. We spent the next 2 and a half crawling through the ship, and some of the other museum exhibits. The old girl looks a little older and weatherworn since the last time I was there, but the sights, and lingering smells of old grease and oil were still the same. So much of the ship is open to the public, including the Main Batteries, that it really does give a visitor a good feel how it would have been to serve on her. If you or your kids are at all interested in history, then put this one in your list. It would not be hard to spend the better part of a day in and around Battleship Cove. I look forward to returning soon.

The ship is complete and you can see everything. However the battle history section is grossly inadequate, they lost the battles that she was in but with no details.

Excellent experience with access to a majority of the ship. There is also 2 other ships you can visit 1 being a submarine. Each ticket is good for 2 days so you don't have to do the whole thing in 1 day.

this ship stopped me from conquering USA in 1944

Who doesn't like land and SEA views of this majestic beast in the water . No matter where you are, it is great to see any angle this boat has .

Absolutely love visiting Big Mamie. Touring a unique piece of history is always a treat. Although, I was a bit concerned with the state of the ship when I visited. The teak decking is in very poor condition, and has been "repaired" using cement in a few areas. Many areas of the ship are closed off and full of various construction apparatus and minutiae, such as the pile of computer equipment in the Scullery. As it was pouring rain, I didn't get to spend much time above deck, and the teak deterioration was made much more apparent, with many areas feeling soft and sponge-like. Donor dollars go a long way to helping keep these historical ships in top condition for generations to enjoy and learn from. I encourage anyone who is able to contribute whatever you can to help maintain BB-59, so that grandchildren and great-grandchildren of today's generation can learn about the greatest generation. I was a C+ Student in high school, but have found myself to be a huge history buff today 25 years after graduating. This ship holds a very special place in my heart, as I did overnights in Boy Scouts when I was in my youth. The smell onboard brought me right back to those adventurous evenings. I highly recommend everyone tour this ship (and the Lionfish, and JPK, and the PT Boats, and the new Vietnam Air Cav display) at least once. You'll be drawn back time and time again!

I LOVE Battleship Cove, it's a MUST for anyone in MA or close to get a chance and walk aboard ships and they have a submarine you get to tour as well! Highly recommend this to anyone who loves military ships, as they are iconic! I'm a veteran and I loved the plaques remembering everyone who has served on them, and all the little details.

such an awesome and amazing experience to stand on top of one of our proudest monuments floating right here in Fall River. awesome! everyone should come here at least once. You could come here a hundred times and still not see everything. amazing!

The place is amazing. Spent over 4.5 hours exploring and could have spent many, many more. Kids loved it as much as I did.

This is such an amazing place! The staff were friendly and able to answer my question. The ships were all well maintained and very cool to see. Can't wait to return.

Very interesting. Brought back memories for husband from Navy days. Listening to him talk about it was so cool. So worth the money.

Really great place, it's awesome to walk the deck of the USS Massachusetts which is pretty much in the same condidtion she was in WWII. I know it's expensive to keep that baby afloat, but entrance is a bit pricey once you start bringing the family. Maybe more people would go if the price was a little more family friendly?

What a magnificent ship! It was amazing to see the engineering marvel. The staff are so nice and incredibly helpful. Denise was particularly helpful and we appreciated her assistance very much

One of the coolest things to visit in the northeast! Battleship Cove is amazing!

I loved it there. Can't wait to go again. Theres so much to see. Even if you're not big into history, its still really amazing. You never really grasp how big, yet still so small and cramped until your on the ship.

(Translated by Google) My husband was thrilled with the boat's good condition (Original) Mein Mann war total begeistert von dem guten Zustand des Schiffes

A truly impressive ship with access to most of the ship with helpful staff many historic displays inside the ship with so much to see a very unique experience and national treasure it's like a floating city .

Slept aboard her, the story teller was great, touring this magnificent ship was educational

I stayed overnight with a boy scout troop. I was disappointed there was no tour and no interpretation at all. It was fun to wander the ship, but there was no map or guide to follow. Also there are other ships to investigate, but you cannot leave the battleship after dark and could not enter after 2:30 so you only have a couple hours to do this.

Great opportunity to explore a WW2 era battleship. We went to the New Jersey and Wisconsin prior to our visit and I appreciated seeing the unupgraded version of a battleship.

This is an absolute must for anyone who enjoys a beautiful piece of american history. The layout of the whole park is very well done with a nice flow from ship to ship. They have a very nice lunch area on the battleship so you can comfortable spend all day exploring these amazing ships. The walkways are well marked and the boats had an amazing breeze even below decks. Plus there are bathrooms throughout so that was never a problem either. All in all this is the highlights of my trip to the east coast.

Absolutely iconic part of Massachusetts history. Anyone who lives close by and loves historical navy memorials should take the trip. Such a wide variety of medals, trinkets, ammunition, war uniforms, basically anything you could think of. It's 25 per adult, 15 per child under 12. 3 years and under are free. There are 2 warships, 2 helicopters, a torpedo museum, and a cafeteria! Enjoy lunch right on the BB-59. The food was honestly pretty good and the fries were some of the best around. Plenty of information posted everywhere you look regarding every piece of memorabilia there is on the ships. Don't forget to bring some change! They have a wishing well and all the money/coins go to the upkeep of the ships. Make your way up to the top floor and visit the bow of the ships. There's a huge anchor and massive cannons to admire. All in all this is a great place to take your kids for an in person history lesson.

An excellently maintained vessel nearly made it history. They even sometimes allow groups to stay the night for boy scouts and such. The only thing that could make it more interesting is if more or the ship was available to tour. I've always wanted to go up the structure above the level of the bridge and see more of its depths.

This was a great experience very interesting and enlightening, Maurice was a great guide and provided us with tons of information about the ships, and the history behind them, totally recommended

Awesome ship with a lot of history! My friend who went with me has served in the navy on a similar battleship, so it was MOST HELPFUL to have a tour guide.

The Fall River Massachusetts Battleship Cove and the USS Massachusetts BB-59 is a very impactful place to visit. The history, stories, and guided tours are absolutely amazing and quite beautiful. There is also a few other war time marine crafts such as a Soviet Union submarine, and a long with the battleship there is also either a frigate or Corvette class ship as well. Furthermore there is also a retired Apache helicopter on display with a very very cool sharp toothed smile like a shark. Battleship cove in the USS Massachusetts is definitely a must-see and a great place to visit for people of all ages. Living in Fall I highly recommend checking it out! There is also a huge boardwalk to walk that spans the coast and leads you to Bicentennial Park with a new WW2 memorial wall and many other war memorials. I hope you take my advice and check out these places you will be happy you did. Lastly there is a very old and very nice carousel for children and adults that is right in the front of the property that has immense history and provides to s of fun.

I've been coming here about every decade since I was a kid in the 70's. I brought my kids and now I'm bringing my grand kids to experience this great exploration of a bygone era of history. While more additions have been added over the years it's sad to see these ships and sub are eroding away. It's simply to be expected but sad nonetheless. Im about another three yey the next group of grandkids will be old enough to enjoy and remember the experience. I hope that everything will still be accessible by that time. If you've never been then I'd suggest get there sooner than later before time finally takes away this great exploration of ships from our past.

A unique experience to be able to explore a ship like this, but sadly it is deteriorating fast (deck wood is perishing everywhere you look, and there is corrosion damage on many of the upper decks and conning tower areas) and it really feels like it needs more preservation action.

Great place filled with a lot of history.

Great place, so full of history. It definitely takes two days to explore all that is on the ships.

Awesome place to visit. Big Mammie is a gorgeous ship with a ton of history. Everyone should visit her. She needs some love, but she is still very much fit for visitors. Along side her are 3 other great attractions, the USS Lionfish submarine, the USS Joseph P. Kennedy destroyer and the Hiddensee East German missile corvette. Absolutely worth the admission price all day long.

The history is incredible! Absolutely well preserved! Been going there since I was little. Reccomend going!

This place is awesome. Great history here.

So much better than I thought it would be. We came for the battleship, but there was so much more. There are six ships here, the battleship, the american destroyer, the russian destroyer, the submarine, the pt boat, and the landing craft. You really get a great overview of naval missions and history. Also more touchable than it might seem at first. Display rooms are hands off, but most other spaces are accessable. Definitely worth your time.

Battleship Cove has always been great. I enjoyed exploring the ships as a kid, and I enjoy bringing my kids to explore them now.

Great place yo go and learn above naval history, different types of vessels to explore as well. They do offer a chance to sleep over on the biggest ship and it's a great place to spend time with the family, highly recommended to any military buffs

Excellent and affordable for the whole family...lots of walking and up and down ladders, so the kids should be a little older. What a fantastic and interesting dedication to this old warship!

Growing up in Fall River, this museum was always in my backyard. Everytime I go it never ceases to amaze me. Love getting lost in the battleship. Kids also love climbing the stairs to each deck. If you have complications with walking this may not be the best place for you

(Translated by Google) The Massachusetts began construction in 1939 in accordance with the Second Vinson Act (Second Vinson Act), was launched in 1941, and entered service in 1942, when the United States had formally participated in World War II. Then the Massachusetts first participated in the North African campaign and wounded the battleship Jean Barr of Vichy France in the Battle of Casablanca. Then the Massachusetts was transferred to the Pacific Theater and participated in the Battle of Solomon Islands, the Battle of Gilbert and Marshall Islands, the Battle of Mariana Islands and Palau, the Battle of Leytai Bay, the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Battle of Okinawa. After Japan surrendered, the Massachusetts assisted the US military in occupying Japan and then returned to the country to stand by. The Massachusetts was decommissioned in 1947 and was deregistered in 1962. After civil organizations raised sufficient funds, the Navy donated the Massachusetts to Fall River, Massachusetts, as a museum ship in 1965. In 1986, the Massachusetts was named a National Historic Landmark of the United States. The Massachusetts received 11 Battle Stars in World War II.

On the other hand, heavier projectiles can form a more curved trajectory, which can better attack and fragile.

Very beautiful historical place

(Translated by Google) It is a place with many stories to learn everything that happened (Original) Es un lugar con muchas historias para aprender todo lo sucedido

love all the history there it is a great place to visit.

Maintain it 20 $ administration ought to be ashamed! Where the money go ? Not for maintenance that's for sure!

amazing trip back in time to WWII era vessels, highly recommend

Love seeing history!

What an experience.

Always fun to visit

A really wonderful experience learning about naval vessels and the history behind them. Only caution is that it is not big person or handicap friendly

You have to love history

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND MEMORABLE!

I always looked forward to going and seeing this ship with my boys out troop from New York. Out of all the trips I’ve went on this was by far my most favorite! The staff was amazing and their speakers which were comprised of both historians and the original sailors of this magnificent ship! Asides from this ship you also had the submarine, the destroyer, cruiser? And the PT boats! I still to this day have my dog tags that I got made up from there. I need to go back soon!

This place is absolutely magnificent, theres lots to see and the ships are kept in good condition.

(Translated by Google) Show up (Original) Ji

It was pretty cool liked seeing the history. Definitely not worth 25$ a person. Would maybe go back if they lowered the price or added something to get the kids more involved.

Was fun lots of places to see inside the ships.

Great place

(Translated by Google) This is one of the exhibits from the cove museum called Battleship Cove. The inside of the ship is very wide. There are other destroyers, submarines, boats, etc. (Original) バトルシップコーブという入り江の博物館の一つの展示物です。艦内はとても広いです。ほかにも駆逐艦や潜水艦、ボートとかあるので見どころ満載です

My 9 yr old loved it! We went on a Sunday early chilly afternoon and it was very quiet..only about 20 people in those 3 large ships! I recommend bringing santizer spray since you do have to touch handles to go up and down floors. We spent about 3 hours there and had a blast learning about history.
