This weekend, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum’s Summer Salute to Heroes will continue with Firefighter Appreciation Weekend.

On Saturday, July 16th, and Sunday, July 17th, the Museum will honor NYC’s bravest: Firefighters, Paramedics, EMS, and EMTs.

Enjoy the 3rd annual Battle of the Boroughs Cook-Off Competition and rock out with this year’s first annual Battle of the Bands!

With a bucket rescue demonstration, tours of Fireboat Three Forty-Three, and interactive displays, guests will catch a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary service men and women.

To show our thanks, Firefighters, Paramedics, EMS, and EMTs visit the Museum FREE with proper ID. Family members will also receive a special discount of 50% OFF General Admission.
