Submarines and aircraft carriers are very different! Explore the aircraft carrier Intrepid, the A View from the Deep exhibit and the submarine Growler to learn more about the adventures sailing on and underwater!
Families must check in between 8:30 AM and 9:30 AM. After the Museum opens to the public at 10:00 AM, the interactive Exploreum will have special activities and stay closed to the public until 11:00 AM
