We saved a few bucks buying our tickets online, and were through the front door and on the submarine Growler just after 10AM, beating the crowds.
Growler was a diesel-powered sub that carried nuclear armaments. It was only in active service for six years or so, and made for a very interesting walk-through.
Next we spent some time wandering around thenhuhe aircraft carrier itself - lots to see.
Finally we walked back to the large structure housing the space shuttle prototype Enterprise, a gigantic craft that lacked an engine and was tested as a glider.
Finally a peak at a Concorde. We elected not to pay extra to tour through it, as we’d walked through one somewhere several years ago.
There’s a lot to see in this complex and our two-hour visit gave us a brief overview. Well worth the stiff entry fees.
