H.L. Hunley Submarine, North Charleston

Definitely an interesting visit. About 2 hours seems like a good amount of time. When we were there a volunteer shared the story and I think that helped. You definitely want to make sure you hear the story live or from the video booth before you see the submarine. I think I would have lost interest the other way around.

Nice museum. Out of the way and not too busy. You'll get a great experience here. The Hunley is submerged, but you still get a decent view. Lots of photos and artifacts. Get in before the woke crowd erases this vital piece of history.

Lots of interactive displays, making it interesting for kids to learn. Several authentic artifacts to see along the way too. I went with my family when the Hunley was first put on display and it's amazing to see the progress they have made in its restoration!

This was our second visit 5 years+. The difference between then and now is how much more you can see of the submarine in the preservation tank. Information is geared towards all ages. It is a dedicated slow process for the scientists to uncover and preserve.

It's good for a quick visit. There are docents who are available to answer questions. There is a video briefing some history. The actual Hunley is there behind glass in a chemical bath. You can view it from the top only. It has many interactive displays throughout the small museum. The entry fee is $18 .
