My 9 yr old loved it! We went on a Sunday early chilly afternoon and it was very quiet..only about 20 people in those 3 large ships! I recommend bringing santizer spray since you do have to touch handles to go up and down floors. We spent about 3 hours there and had a blast learning about history.

Great place, so full of history. It definitely takes two days to explore all that is on the ships.

Awesome place to visit. Big Mammie is a gorgeous ship with a ton of history. Everyone should visit her. She needs some love, but she is still very much fit for visitors. Along side her are 3 other great attractions, the USS Lionfish submarine, the USS Joseph P. Kennedy destroyer and the Hiddensee East German missile corvette. Absolutely worth the admission price all day long.

The history is incredible! Absolutely well preserved! Been going there since I was little. Reccomend going!

So much better than I thought it would be. We came for the battleship, but there was so much more. There are six ships here, the battleship, the american destroyer, the russian destroyer, the submarine, the pt boat, and the landing craft. You really get a great overview of naval missions and history. Also more touchable than it might seem at first. Display rooms are hands off, but most other spaces are accessable. Definitely worth your time.

Battleship Cove has always been great. I enjoyed exploring the ships as a kid, and I enjoy bringing my kids to explore them now.

Great place yo go and learn above naval history, different types of vessels to explore as well. They do offer a chance to sleep over on the biggest ship and its a great place to spend time with the family, highly recommended to any military buffs

Growing up in Fall River, this museum was always in my backyard. Everytime I go it never ceases to amaze me. Love getting lost in the battleship. Kids also love climbing the stairs to each deck. If you have complications with walking this may not be the best place for you

Excellent and affordable for the whole family...lots of walking and up and down ladders, so the kids should be a little older. What a fantastic and interesting dedication to this old warship!

Amazing trip back in time to WWII era vessels, highly recommend

Love all the history there it is a great place to visit.

I always looked forward to going and seeing this ship with my boys out troop from New York. Out of all the trips I’ve went on this was by far my most favorite! The staff was amazing and their speakers which were comprised of both historians and the original sailors of this magnificent ship! Asides from this ship you also had the submarine, the destroyer, cruiser? And the PT boats! I still to this day have my dog tags that I got made up from there. I need to go back soon!

Maintain it 20 $ administration ought to be ashamed! Where the money go ? Not for maintenance thats for sure!

A really wonderful experience learning about naval vessels and the history behind them.Only caution is that it is not big person or handicap friendly

Great place filled with a lot of history.

This really was a great to tour. Absent the 1800 sailors on board, it seemed to be a huge vessel. I am sure that if it was fully populated, it would have seen incredibly small! I wish we lived in the area so that our Scout troop could participate in one of the stay on board overnights.

You can explore so much of the battleship. My brothers and i explored as much of the ship as we could. Lots of fun and history.

A truly impressive ship with access to most of the ship with helpful staff many historic displays inside the ship with so much to see a very unique experience and national treasure its like a floating city .

Amazing sight to see. Whats great is that you have access to most of the ship so you can really see how life was on the ship

It was pretty cool liked seeing the history. Definitely not worth 25$ a person. Would maybe go back if they lowered the price or added something to get the kids more involved.

Went last weekend pretty cool

Awesome experience. You will feel like a movie.

Fun, the Massachusetts has a gun cannon at the front on top deck that actually moves the guns up and down while the gun deck rotates. 7-9 year olds loved it, 12 years old werent as impressed. Scouts can camp overnight. Wear sunscreen, it gets hot.

This is such an amazing place! The staff were friendly and able to answer my question. The ships were all well maintained and very cool to see. Cant wait to return.

Took my 4 and a half year old son on the 76th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. He had so much fun exploring and climbing all throughout the many shops on display. I visited as a kid with Boy Scouts and we stayed on board the ship and it is dry much the way I remember it. They have done an excellent job maintaining it. Really a cool day trip and totally worth it to check out.

There is plenty of ship to see. The overnight camping was fantastic.

This place is absolutely magnificent, theres lots to see and the ships are kept in good condition.

A great day out, it would have been nice to go up higher but still very interesting

One of the coolest things to visit in the northeast! Battleship Cove is amazing!

Slept aboard her, the story teller was great, touring this magnificent ship was educational

Great history, and family fun

I stayed overnight with a boy scout troop. I was disappointed there was no tour and no interpretation at all. It was fun to wander the ship, but there was no map or guide to follow. Also there are other ships to investigate, but you cannot leave the battleship after dark and could not enter after 2:30 so you only have a couple hours to do this.

This ship stopped me from conquering USA in 1944

Very cool way to spend a Saturday. Lots of history and so much to see. We thought we were touring the USS Massachusetts only and were happy to find out there are 4 different vessels to walk through. Kid and family friendly. There is a lot of walking if you plan to tour all 4.

Great museum a lot of history, my grandfather Julius L. Langley was on this ship

I loved it there. Cant wait to go again. Theres so much to see. Even if youre not big into history, its still really amazing. You never really grasp how big, yet still so small and cramped until your on the ship.

Really nice Navy experience. Fun for kids.

Really great place, its awesome to walk the deck of the USS Massachusetts which is pretty much in the same condidtion she was in WWII.I know its expensive to keep that baby afloat, but entrance is a bit pricey once you start bringing the family. Maybe more people would go if the price was a little more family friendly?

You have to love history

Very quite and humbling on the USS Massachusetts. USS Lionfish not for claustrophobic.

Incredible!! Loved it. You could spend days there looking at everything.

Lots of fun, great place for kids to learn and explore. I went here as a kid several times, and brought my 5 year old son today, and we had a great time!

If your into naval / military history then you need to make the trip to Battleship Cove. They have the Kennedy, the Lionfish, and the Massachusetts. Self guided tours take you throughout the ships, great collection of historical items. They have two restored PT boats as well. Theres a restaurant on the Massachusetts (hamburger/ hotdogs) which makes things easy. Its worth the trip, check it out......

One of the best museum of Naval power. More mighty then Texas and more ancient then Iowa-class battleships. Also have a lot of delicious bonuses: destroyer, submarine, Soviet-builder East German missile corvette, helicopters, patrol boats etc. For all battleship-lovers - must see.

Great ship to explore

5 Stars for the ship and the organization of the 4 trails. Very impressive! One star for the restaurant on the ship. Very sloppy frech fries, ugly burger and a long time to wait for it. Additionally absolutly overprized for the quality. Very bad they could do more... I recommend to go not for a snack there... really

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND MEMORABLE!

Easily the biggest and coolest battleship museum in the country. You could spend days roaming this massive ship and not see everything.there are nine floors to explore and the views are amazing. A must see in the Boston area for sure.

Was fun lots of places to see inside the ships.

Always fun to visit

The Battleship and other vessels at Battleship Cove are, and always will be a treasure. I organized a special trip for a group to view Battleship Cove. The people who organize events at the Battleship did a wonderful job co-operating with us. It was a day well spent for our guests, who came from as far away as Canada and California.

Informative, affordable to get in, theres an affordable gift shop, merry go around, snacks. The location is easily accessible by car. The area is very clean and kept up.

Excellent place to view a bit of history, but definitely not for those who have a hard time getting around.Crew is always super friendly and I find something new every time Im there.The food could be better.

Very cool place if you want to see a little bit of history on the water! Two subs, a Russian boat and a battleship! Cant go wrong with this place! You may ask why a Russian boat? Come and find out, its actually pretty cool how we got our hands on one! The museum located down the road is really cool as well! Kids are $15 and adults are $25. Its good for two days plus the museum!

If you havent been to the battleship in Fall River you are quite literally wasting your life. You need to see the amazing ship and all of its glory from inside and out. Tickets are only $25 and are good for 2 days. Not to mention you also get access to the Maritime Museum right down the street. Its a great value and a great way to spend time with the family!

Great history, take the time to talk to the volunteers, they served on similar ships and are a great source of information.

So much to see and learn about. I plan on going again soon. Great for field trips for young and older. A lot of history in this place. It isnt wheelchair accessible. A lot of stairs and need to lift your feet high in places. The restrooms were clean. The exhibits on the second deck where amazing.

A fantastic site. Get up close and see some living history

Really cool and interesting place. Kids loved exploring the 4 vessels in the Shipyard. Not sure if the vessels had this “old smell” to it or if it was the asbestos that we inhaled and smelled. Whichever, nice experience overall.

Its packed with information on WWII and the Navy, but the best part is you get to explore all around the ship on your own. Great for kids.

It was a treat to finally visit my grandfathers battleship.

One of the only surviving battleships in America. The Big Mamie is a great museum and a treasured living legend.

Excellent ship with hours of history to see. Plenty of access to all area of the ship.

Always a great time!

It was almost as awesome as it was as a kid. The only thing that saddens me is the material state of all the boats. It is looking like a serious overall is needed.

Could spend a month there and not get bored.

Very nautical themed museum. If yo like modern naval warfare stuff, this the place.

Awesome experience, going into the lower decks of the battleship as well as climbing around on top. Our 4 year old daughter loved it too! Dont miss the carousel as well.

I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THE GREAT STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS FOR PRESERVING BIG MAMMI!TTYEY COULD OF LET HER BECOME SCRAP DECADES AGO BUT THEY REFUSED AND RALLIED TOGETHER AS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE REMEMBER OUR HISTORY AS IT IS TO THIS DAY THE ONLY REASON WE ARE NOT ALL SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS!TYRANNY IS NOT THE WAY AND THIS IS A PART OF WHY WE ARE STILL SOMEWHAT FREE IN AMERICA!IF YOU ARE IN OHIO THE SCHOOLS DO NOT TEACH HISTORY OF USABUT YET WE NEED TO BE REMORSEFUL OF EVERYONE ELSES HISTORY OUTSIDE OF AMERICA!

We went with my son boys scout troop. We learned so much about this wonderful ship. We did the Nautical nights where we slept on the ship for the night. We liked it so much my son wants to go again next year. You learn so much about these old ships. We loved our movie presentation that answered all of our questions about this amazing ship. The staff here goes above and beyond. And the food was great too.

Pretty fun venue for kids who are interested in the military and history buffs. Lots of climbing if you want to explore between decks, so be aware if you find ladders a challenge.

This is an absolutely wonderful place to be plan on spending the whole dayIt may be a little overwhelming for very young small children being sort of a repetition kind of thing. Boy Scout Troops are permitted to stay over there on weekends for sleepovers. In my opinion its a five-star destination a battleship and Destroyer submarine, aircraft, PT boats.

Its a bunch of battleships. Its amazing.As someone who loves history, seeing all these things Ive researched and learned about in person is amazing.

Very interesting. We were able to explore most areas of both ships and the sub. Great for the kids as well

Gotta see it. Incredible piece . Everyone should go and witness history

Great place to see a battleship, a destroyer, and submarine all in one stop. The self guided tour on the battleship could be a little easier to follow, but we like to wander around.

This is an educational but fun trip! You go all through the ship to see how the soliders lived. I would really recommend this place.

I love this place because ww2 had help from these and you cant find them any more so respect the navy the tour was awsome i love it

This place shows you exactly how hard it was to live on these ships and how amazing it is that we have the technogy we have today

Fantastic opportunity to see living American history close to home! We will be going back as you could NEVER hope to see everything in one visit!

Great ship. Great staff. Good time.

The big surprise pleasure of our New England visit. Our wives were very much impressed with the presentation of the exhibits and the very human core of the information. We enjoyed the full visit during a very wet day. It was a very emotional visit as well as historically interesting.

I went here for a field trip in 1975 whene I was 13 and had the best time. Turned me into a history buff and convinced me to join the military and serve my country.

Amazing place. You cant help but appreciate what our servicemen had to endure.

World War 2 ended, this ship was parked and left almost entirely preserved in its wartime condition. Nearly completely accessible, only a few areas have plexiglass to preserve artifacts/critical systems. Excellent self guided tours, 4 different ones to choose from. The engine room is fascinating in size and scale.

It was amazing. Loved all the ships and submarine. Loved how inside the ship their were documentaries about people and what the ship mostly did.

Enormous ship great place to bring kids and family.

I have been there many times, the ship its self (USS Mass.) Has a lot of history in her, from her training mission to her last mission. Though it is a little sad that she only has 4-5 of her oerlikon mounts left (probably because the Navy took them before the was un-mothballed) the ship is still a sight to see and be on.

I had a lot of fun in this place! If it wasnt for the rain I would have stayed a little bit longer. There are a lot of historical information all around, and there are chutes that you can access and view how the room, the galley, the captains headquarters, the engineer room, and etc. There is also a gift shop outside where you could buy hats sweaters and other stuff.

So loaded with history. Amazing look into the past. Fantastic fun for adults and kids interested in military history. Explore right down into the guts of a WWII battleship.

Great experience, lots to explore, and multiple vessels!

What an experience.

My boys had an amazing time! Not too good for toddlers, I seen a few parents struggling so Im really glad I found a sitter for my little one. Its hands on and a great way to learn. Try not to drag your purse around either if you can help it lol theres a few small spaces. Over all, we absolutely loved it!

Enjoyed the day with the grand youngins

It was amazing!!! I would recommend it to everyone! So much history here. Being able to walk through the submarine !! Up the decks of the USS Massachusetts!! You have to go and bring the family.

Love seeing history!

Very fun self guided tours. Things the kids can climb on as well as actual WWII equipment and planes not for climbing. A nice day out for adults and children.

I feel that most of the people willing to go and leave a review would enjoy this place if they floated a 1/48 wooden scale model of the USS Massachusetts and called it a heritage site. Well Im one of those people.It does offer more than that. The approach is reasonably hands off, you wander the boats and read the materials provided. Considering the size of the ships and the narrowness of the passages, I would agree with this approach. You dip in and out of the ships as you need.Not for the claustrophobic or those who overheat easily. I think they could add a better overview of each ship, but I was impressed overall, particularly with the number of displays of related themes (women in war, PT Squadrons, models) with the battleship itself.

This ship is a marvel of engineering that we are lucky to have here in New England. Its a really fun self guided tour.

Awesome place to visit, so much fun!!
