Explore the Sea, Air and Space
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum
Wish you could blast your little astronaut to the moon? Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum let’s them get close to it. Experience a legendary aircraft carrier, the first space shuttle, the world’s fastest jets, a Cold War-era submarine, and 27 different aircrafts. Teach your kiddos about history and science as you explore Exploreum Hall where you can climb into a Bell 47 helicopter or an actual lifeboat “on water.” Don’t miss the 3D simulator rides that let you fly your own jet plane (must be 38-inches tall). For super crazy enthusiasts, check out the week-long summer camps.
