History buff heaven! Self guided tour with info pamphlet/guide $10, Docent led tour $15, including engine room $20. Museum exhibits downstairs. Tour is worth the extra $5-$10!

Wonderful experience! Our docent, Ron, was extremely knowledgeable about the ship as well as other WWII facts. His knowledge of the engine room was most impressive, and admitted he’s still learning. Having visited the Jeremiah O’Brien, it was nice to be able to compare and contrast both of them. Asides from Ron, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The ship is in remarkably good condition. Hopefully, they’ll be able to secure funding to continue its preservation. If you’re a naval and/or WWII buff, definitely put this on your list of “must see”.

For those who love military history and ships this ship provides a lot to enjoy. The ship is in states of full restoration and parcel restoration and provides a surrealistic glimpse into the past what the men who served on this ship had to deal with and how time has taken a toll on this ship over the years. The ship usually has docents and crew members who know everything about the ship and can explain things to you in great detail. The ship also serves as a place for events that celebrate the past. They have social functions like dances or pancake breakfast or even events where people sing and celebrate moments in history. If you're even any bit curious as to what shifts of World War II were like I encourage you to visit the ship. It's in an area that affords less complicated parking then you would experience in visiting ships in San Francisco. Go to their website and check out that page and then check out the ship!

There are several restaurants in the area around the Rosie the Riveter World War II Homefront National Historic Park. Most are about 10-15 minutes from the ship. Use Google maps to get locations.
