This site is an in depth look at many issues involving one ship, USS Pampanito, and includes a tour of the submarine, her history, lists of Pampanito's wartime crew, descriptions of WW II submarine technology, and historic photographs. USS Pampanito also hosts educational days and overnight programs for children. Hard Hat Tours are offered after ours and gives visitors the opportunity to be guided through areas of the submarine usually off limits to visitors. Birthday Party Tours can be booked for an unusual experience that kids are sure to remember.
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.
