  • What a fascinating ship to visit! You could easily spend 2 hours just exploring all the nooks and crannies and walking from end to end. It's so cool to see the difference in cabin sizes/amenities for crew of different levels. Even if the science center is not your thing, do visit this ship! Plus, the deck has great views of downtown and the lake.
  • If you are attending the science center the tickets are half priced, this is a must do for anyone into history, boats, ships, and historical architecture. I was in love with all of the old wood, brass details, and 1920s architecture. This is definitely something for able-bodied people only, lots of steep ship stairs, and cramped quarters. All of the employees were wonderful, and excited to teach about the ship and its inner workings. This is an absolute gem, and perfect for all ages!
  • This ship is mind blowing 🤯 it's massive and so much to see in the inside. I recommend getting a tour to see how things operated many decades ago. I loved it very much!
  • Definitely make sure you verify if they are open or not! We stayed in cleveland an extra day because they weren't open at first! But definitely cool to see. Alot to see for such little entrance fee!
  • Good place to take your guest and children. well kept and the ladies in the museum do a great job in explaining. They are pretty knowledgeable and answer to your questions. I Highly recommend a visit. Fee is $8 ~$11 per person and worth it .
