All in-person and online programs are free with advance registration for active military members, veterans and their families and offer endless opportunities to share, learn and discover with peers.

In recognition of our men and women in uniform, the Intrepid Museum celebrates Fleet Week May 23-26, 2025!
Fleet Week activities will kick off Friday, May 23, with our annual free movie night on the flight deck, featuring Top Gun. Veteran and military families can register for access to Cat Shot Café and enjoy snacks and refreshments on Intrepid's flight deck before the screening! Register here.
Throughout the weekend, enjoy musical performances and explore a variety of displays, activities and demos from the military, including the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Naval Research and many more! The weekend will conclude on Monday, May 26, with the Museum’s annual Memorial Day ceremony. All activities on the pier are free to the public. Learn more here.
As always, current and former service members receive free admission to the Museum, thanks to support from Bank of America. Starting May 17, the Museum will participate in Blue Star Museums. Military ID holders and up to 5 guests receive free admission to the Museum through September 1.
Join fellow veterans and service members at the Intrepid Museum to explore the Museum without the crowds. Then join peers for conversation, a behind-the-scenes experience and a catered dinner.
The Intrepid Museum offers free guided tours for organizations that serve veterans and military families. Virtual programs (using Zoom, Google Meet or other platforms) are also available. These interactive programs are tailored to the interests of the group.
Veteran and military families receive priority access to public events like Family Days, Fleet Week, Kids Week and Free Fridays, as well as select member benefits at these events. Veterans and their guests are also specially invited to public programs focused on veteran experiences, such as special film screenings, performances and talks.
We welcome all former crew members of Intrepid and Growler and their families to visit the Museum. We are honored to preserve their legacy through the incredible artifacts they donate and the personal experiences they share with visitors.
Veterans Programs are made possible by public funds facilitated by the New York City Council Committee on Veterans, in partnership with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. The Museum’s education programs are supported, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
Since 2013, the Oral History Project has collected stories of those who served on board the historic aircraft carrier Intrepid from 1943 to 1974, as well as those associated with the submarine Growler, the space shuttle orbiter Enterprise and the supersonic airliner Concorde.
