Showed up at 0730 to get our free tickets to see the Arizona and when we arrived the ticket we were handed said 1015. So naturally we had some time to kill... off to the museums. The USS Bowfin was our first, knowing nuttin' about the Navy and especially Submarines, I really enjoyed this tour. On the way over they have different types of torpedoes laying around. We paid the $10 for a self paced audio tour, which included admission to the Museum, and we really enjoyed it. Get there early! We had almost no crowd and while in the submarine nobody was rushing us. As we left however, about 45 minutes later, it was starting to get busy. Great way to learn about history here. Thanks for reading.
Awesome attraction! Really well preserved, though a bit more info on the instrumentals might come handy
Relatively inexpensive tour, with self guided audio included. Very cool piece of history. It's pretty cramped inside, so don't bother if your claustrophobic. BEWARE that you cannot bring bags, purses, etc inside the grounds at all. Your only choice is to check them at a shack outside, which left me a little uneasy. There are signs everywhere saying that it's a "high theft area," so they don't recommend leaving them in your car.
For $12, you get both the submarine and the nearby submarine museum. Audio guides are free and highly recommended. Otherwise, you won't understand what everything on the ship means.
Great piece of history. Friendly staff. The restoration on the submarine is beautiful.
