Gain admission to The Intrepid Museum, New York City's only educational institution housed on an aircraft carrier. Make your way to the Hudson River to see the flight deck and more on the legendary USS ‘Intrepid.’ In addition, you’ll get up close to the first space shuttle (the ‘Enterprise’) and explore a guided missile submarine (the USS ‘Growler’). You’re connected to history and innovation through interactive exhibits and firsthand accounts — something the entire family can enjoy. Intrepid Museum's largest temporary exhibition is now open March 26-September 2, 2024 – "Apollo: When We Went to the Moon". This special exhibit unpacks the history of the Apollo program, featuring dozens of rarely-seen artifacts from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center with additions from the Museum’s own collection. Immerse yourself in this out-of-this-world exhibition, complete with awesome interactive experiences like seeing your own footprints on the moon!
See the Intrepid Air Craft Carrier, the Space Shuttle Pavilion featuring temporary exhibition “Apollo: When We Went to the Moon”, the Growler Submarine, plus watch an 8-minute film entitled ‘the Story of Intrepid’ and a 15-minute film called ‘Kamikaze: Day of Darkness, Day of Light.’
Launched in 1943, the former aircraft carrier USS Intrepid fought in World War II, surviving five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike. The ship later served in the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Intrepid also served as a NASA recovery vessel in the 1960s. It was decommissioned in 1974, and today is berthed on the Hudson River as the centerpiece of the museum.
