My father came to visit to NYC and went to visit the museum. When asked for an ID he was told that a Governmental ID from Spain was not sufficient that he needed a passport with a visa stamp. He doesnt walk around the city with his passport nor this has ever been a requirement for any tourist to visit a museum, plus he had an official photo ID with him. He wasted an 1 hour+ ride in a bus and came back totally disappointed. The guards at the museum where not friendly either. They have to work on their personal treatment to visitors in this place.

My hotel was 2 hours away fron this museum. When I arrived they told me I couldnt get in because I needed an ID. So i went back to my hotel and the next day I came back with my ID. But I still couldnt get in because they only accept us citizen inside the museum, thing that they did not mention the day before. Thanks a lot for the additional 4 hours of public transportation.

This museum is wonderful because it is free and has more items on exhibit than some museums where you must pay for admission! A gentleman named Tom, who was a volunteer and Korean War Veteran was very informative and kind to us. This is a great place to visit and bring children!

I thought New York Democrats were more open to diversity and inclusiveness in their admissions policies. I hardly see any threat to the nations security in allowing foreign citizens to see 19th century technology on display. Way to go, New Yuk!

2,5 hours in a bus, only to find out that citizens from my country couldt get in. Im from Europe (Denmark). Something they could have mentioned on homepages about the museum. We were very disapointed!

The exhibits are very fascinating but the best part is speaking to the volunteers that work there. Most of them are war veterans and have excellent stories to share.

I took my 3 classes on a rainy day! Tom was VERY accomodating. The gentlemen were very patient and knowledgeable. Great trip, the kids really enjoyed it.

While the museum was nice the officers at the entrance to the fort were rude.I expect more from officers of our nations military.

Foreign visitors: call in advance to make sure the museum is open and your nationality is allowed to enter.

If you have the time, its a nice look at parts of the fort and our historical harbour protections.
