Why you should go…

Where else can you stand on the flight deck of a legendary aircraft carrier, walk under the space shuttle Enterprise and tour a Cold War submarine in one afternoon? The Intrepid turns military and space history into a hands-on playground for all ages. The flight deck's fighter jet lineup against the skyline is unforgettable.
