Very entertaining place. The carrier deck has interesting models of planes and things to do and explore. Next to it there is a submarine which can also be visited for free (when you already have an Intrepid ticket). I do also recommend you to buy the Concorde extra. It is cool to see how the plane looks inside the cockpit.

Very fun. Spent few hours there. My last visit was as a 13 years old and took my kids now after 29 years.

The middle deck has lots of activities for the small kids and it shame you cant enter to the space ship. The s...

My kids had a blast trying the hands-on exh...
