My family and I were recently there for the final reunion for the Crew members. I want to thank all of those that made this such a memorable event for not just the crew members, but also for their family and friends. I hate to mention names out of fear of forgetting someone, but I do want to thank Paula Roy and Susan (dont know her last name) and also Karen from the ship with all her young workers who did a fantastic job! I also would like to thank Bernie S. (Crew Member) for holding this together for all these years. May God Bless him, his family and all the remaining crew members. I hope you will keep the memories of this great ship going on for years to come even though the reunions are finished. May God Bless all of you and may God continue to bless AMERICA! Sincerely, Barbara Kramer daughter of Sylvester "JAKE" Kramer Crew Member from the 6th division

I feel that most of the people willing to go and leave a review would enjoy this place if they floated a 1/48 wooden scale model of the USS Massachusetts and called it a heritage site. Well Im one of those people. It does offer more than that. The approach is reasonably hands off, you wander the boats and read the materials provided. Considering the size of the ships and the narrowness of the passages, I would agree with this approach. You dip in and out of the ships as you need. Not for the claustrophobic or those who overheat easily. I think they could add a better overview of each ship, but I was impressed overall, particularly with the number of displays of related themes (women in war, PT Squadrons, models) with the battleship itself.

Мощь и размеры поражают воображение! 207 метров тяжеленного металла на 11 метров погружен в воду! Толщина бронекорпуса более 30 см! И где там только размещались 800 человек экипажа.. Очень интересный музей!

Fascinating interactions with some of the most important moments in history throughout: WWII, the Cold War, the Kennedy legacy, Americas 20th century industrial might. Friendly (and kid-friendly) staff and a beautifully restored carousel next door. A great day with young kids at a place that might seem to cater to older visitors. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience! Plan on several hours or a whole day. There is a lot to see. You will need to be able to go up and down ladders and steps. Also, no backpacks are allowed so just leave them in the car. This would be good for school age children and up. It would be hard to lift small children up and over doors and there are hazards for them.

World War 2 ended, this ship was parked and left almost entirely preserved in its wartime condition. Nearly completely accessible, only a few areas have plexiglass to preserve artifacts/critical systems. Excellent self guided tours, 4 different ones to choose from. The engine room is fascinating in size and scale.

My boys had an amazing time! Not too good for toddlers, I seen a few parents struggling so Im really glad I found a sitter for my little one. Its hands on and a great way to learn. Try not to drag your purse around either if you can help it lol theres a few small spaces. Over all, we absolutely loved it!

Very cool way to spend a Saturday. Lots of history and so much to see. We thought we were touring the USS Massachusetts only and were happy to find out there are 4 different vessels to walk through. Kid and family friendly. There is a lot of walking if you plan to tour all 4.

I was lucky enough to do a Living History event and stayed aboard the Massachusetts. Staff was wonderful. Displays are dated and getting shabby, but the accommodations were clean and comfortable (ish!) Cant wait to do it again.

Very well preserved example of a South Dakota class battleship, the most important ships of this kind that fought in WWII. Worth the visit, as well as the rest of the Battleship Cove museum. It has a little bar inside it.

It was amazing!!! I would recommend it to everyone! So much history here. Being able to walk through the submarine !! Up the decks of the USS Massachusetts!! You have to go and bring the family.

Andy Christoffersen

Thought we could only walk the deck and would be there about an hour. This was awesome! We walked all over all the ships. Spent all morning there. If you like warships this place is a must see!

Myles Point

I really love this place. They have done so well preserving all of the ship. If you like WW2 history this is the place to be. Highly recommended a visit to Battleship Cove

Boy scout overnight. Fun! I didnt wash my jacket for the longest time... It picked up that bunker oil smell from the ship. "You smell that, son? Smells like.... Victory!"

Alexander Pudikov

The only bad thing about this place is that its very far from us. Otherwise it is a fantastic place to take your kids or enjoy yourselves. Works for all ages!

DJ Medeiros

Lots of fun, great place for kids to learn and explore. I went here as a kid several times, and brought my 5 year old son today, and we had a great time!

Spent the night on the ship. The food and the sunset view was worth the price. The other two ships and the submarine was really cool to see and explore.

Olivia Luttazi

A very cool hands-on museum. If you have any interest in military/historical museums, check this out! Bring comfortable shoes.

It kept my attention for over 5 hours. Sailors on these ships should all be commend and thanked for their sacerfice. By WDL

Edward Causey

Its sad we dont have any more the battle ships seid to the world no America s power that no other war ships can do

Adam Imbriglio

One of my favorite places to visit. Be prepared to spend at least a couple of hours. The exhibits are excellent!
