You know how the interiors of a real warship of the ll ww are. Although the tour was not complete because it is still under restoration.

A good friend from Jackson Mississippi, who is a teacher and was on Soring break, wanted to visit this museum with her 7 yr old. We check the website four times ( even checked the Day Before) and made plans for a day of hanging out , activities. THEY SHUT DOWN TO FILM A MOVIE..BUT DIDNT LET ANYONE KNOW..So Friend had 30 minutes to run through..and they wanted to charge her FULL PRICES HORRIBLE CUSTOMER/ PUBLIC SERVICE IMHO

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My son is part of the Boy Scout Troop and they've been the past taken overnight trips to u.s. naval ships and I was just wondering if they offer any kind of overnight packages and special tours for the Boy Scouts of America

They have in the past had overnight trips for Boy Scout troops. There has been a change in leadership at the Museum, however, so it would be best to contact them directly to see if they continue to do so.

Dorothy, what was your dad's name and in what time period did he serve? There have been three (3) ships to bear the name USS KIDD: our ship (DD-661) which served in WWII, the Korean War, and the Cold War; the second KIDD (DDG-993) which served at the end of the Cold War and during the Persian Gulf War; and the third KIDD (DDG-100) currently serving in the active fleet.
