    What a truly unique experience to be able to walk through one of these old submarines. It really gave us an appreciation of what life on board a submarine would be like. It is narrow and quite a few stairs but well worth the effort.

    The museum is amazing!!! The ships, subs and artifacts on board really bring the experience of being on board to life. We brought our 7 year old nephew and he loved it. The staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the crafts. I highly recommend this experience!!

    A very tiny but really interesting submarine you can walk through as part of the maritime museum. This sub set some impressive depth records while in service. Guests of the museum can even sit in the drivers chair and take a look through the periscope. A nice hands on activity for kids.

    Wonderful view from here!

  • 5/5 Diego García-Travesí M. 6 years ago on Google
    Unforgettable visit. You can not believe it in being inside a submarine. The best thing is to be able to see through the periscope and turning it around

  • 3/5 Joshua J. 5 years ago on Google
    It's okay, but they have a lot of places on the sub blocked off. The coolest part is that you can use the periscope! My experience at the Soviet sub was a lot more fun.

  • 5/5 Marcos 5 years ago on Google
    you can see master and Commander ship!

  • 5/5 harry S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great the periscope on USS Dolphin works and you can use it

    The maritime museum here offers tours of a myriad of ships with ranging countries of origin and time periods. The USS Dolphin is a nice walk through. It does not have the museum feel that a lot of ship tours have with walls of plexiglass. It feels like I'm on an actual submarine. The Russian sub is equally interesting/terrifying. Most of that has to do with the giant chunks that have rusted out of existence.

    (Translated by Google) The museum consists of 3 ships, one of them is a star of India and 2 submarines, one of which is Soviet diesel, everything is thought out and explanatory shows all the logging, as if he had sailed on them, next to another museum aircraft carrier Midway, I also advise you to visit, the ticket price is available about 15-20 dollars (Original) Музей состоит из 3 кораблей одна из них звезда Индии и 2 подводных лодок ,одна из которых советская дизельная, все продумано и пояснительно показано все рубки ,как будто сам на них и поплавал, рядом ещё музей авианосец Мидуэй, тоже советую посетить,цена билета доступно около 15-20 долларов

    (Translated by Google) Although it was a submarine of the Cold War era, it was a valuable experience to see a military submarine for the first time. (Original) 冷戦時代の潜水艦ですが初めて軍用潜水艦を見学できて貴重な体験でした。

    Maritime museum, attractive to learn about history, you can take a tour inside the ships, the aircraft carrier or the submarine at a cost

👍👍 If you want to visit a piece of history and movie history, this is the ship to visit. This ship was used as the main character of the movie Master and Commander.
