"Be A Submariner! "

Take a self guided tour through the World War II submarine the USS Pampanito and find out what it was like to be a member of the crew who spent months in tight quarters carrying out missions that were often shrouded in secrecy.

Much to my surprise we even found submarine docents aboard --- former submariners who can answer any question about life as a crew member, including my daughter's eloquent inquiry, "Why does smell so bad in here?"

Parked at Pier 45,  two adults and four children can gain admission for $20.00.
