Customer reviews
Summarised reviews
- Great for families
Visitors love exploring the historic aircraft carrier, walking through the Concorde and submarine, and standing under the space shuttle Enterprise. Friendly volunteers and fast digital ticket scanning make entry smooth, while photo ops beside storied jets and sunset views over the Hudson add extra wow. Downsides: weekend crowds and a slow submarine queue, plus limited café choices. Arrive early, allocate at least three hours, and don’t miss the interactive flight simulators for kids and aviation buffs alike.
