Intrepid Museum
Intrepid Museum will host free public viewing parties for more than 50 World Cup matches on Pier 86, providing a dramatic and unique setting to cheer on your favorite team. Multiple large screens will be set up throughout the Pier, with food, beverages, and merchandise available for purchase. Please note, while the viewings on the pier are free, tickets are still required for admission into the museum. See the Intrepid Air Craft Carrier, the Space Shuttle Pavilion, 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.

Good history & tour
Eldest son wanted to go to this whilst visiting NYC as he loves naval & aircrafts. Very easy to get to, especially due to the subway. We attended on a wet day & sadly the submarine wasn’t open which was the reason we attended as my son is a submariner himself. Unfortunately this wasn’t communicated on their website but we did enjoy seeing the rest of the displays. We ended up spending about 2 hours here then going to Chelsea Market nearby for lunch. Overall good experience & would recommend for anyone who wants insight into the history of the Intrepid.

One of the Most Interesting Museums I Visited in New York
The Intrepid Museum was a fantastic experience and definitely one of the places I enjoyed most during my trip to New York City. I wasn’t sure what to expect before visiting, but I ended up spending much more time there than I had planned. Walking aboard the Intrepid itself was incredible. Seeing the aircraft on the flight deck up close and being able to explore the ship made the visit feel much more exciting than a traditional museum. I also really enjoyed seeing the different aircraft and learning about their history. There are so many interesting details throughout the museum, and I found myself stopping often to read the information and look around. The submarine was another highlight for me. It was fascinating to see how people lived and worked in such a limited space. Everything was presented in a way that made the history easy to understand, and I think both adults and children would enjoy this museum. Highly recommended if you’re interested in history, aviation, ships, or military technology. A memorable experience and definitely worth adding to your New York itinerary!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 1,105 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket?
+
Around 387 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket?
+
Included: Growler Submarine; Space Shuttle Pavilion; and Intrepid Air Craft Carrier. Not included: Guided Tours/Audio Guides; and Simulators and 3D Movies. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket?
+
The experience starts at Intrepid Museum, W 46th St And 12th Ave, Pier 86, New York City, New York, 10036, United States. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Wheelchair accessible, with the exception of the submarine, Captain's Bridge, Combat Infor. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in New York. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Intrepid Museum Admission Ticket?
