Highlights
The Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum
continues to be one of the most popular attractions in New York and
the staff has worked to keep the experience new, fresh and
interesting. The action-packed film The Intrepid is
continuously screened during the day in the new Allison & Howard
Lutnick Theater. It's all about aircraft carrier operations with
dramatic takeoff scenes and in-flight sequences. And, if you want to
experience the excitement yourself, the Museum now has two Navy flight
simulator rides, Travel Through Time and Fly with the Blue
Angels. For and extra few bucks you can at least think you'd be
able to handle the controls of a high-performance aircraft.
Kamikaze: Day of Darkness, Day of
Light, tells the story of November 25, 1944, when the Intrepid was
hit by two kamikaze aircraft. Other exhibits include the restored
ship's galley, the Men of Intrepid exhibit, an Atlantic Crossings
museum, an exhibit telling about the Berlin Wall and the Cold War,
and many ship-specific pieces of equipment
The Intrepid's permanent flight deck exhibits include an
A-12 Blackbird, an F-14 Super Tomcat, a British Scimitar, a French
Entendard and a Polish MiG-21 among other many other fixed-wing aircraft
and a couple of helicopters. One record-breaking highlight is the
Concorde AD, the supersonic aircraft that set the fastest Atlantic
crossing time at 2 hours, 52 minutes, 59 seconds
The museum's
collection also includes the original Iwo Jima Memorial Statue by
Felix DeWeldon. Tied up alongside the Intrepid is USS Growler, SSG
577, a Regulus strategic nuclear missile submarine launched in 1958
The Intrepid Museum runs a number of
family- and kid-oriented programs throughout the year, all, of
course, centered on sea, air and space. The week before Memorial Day each year the Museum
becomes the home of the New
York Fleet Week, when the City says thanks to all the young men
and women serving in the armed forces
Things change quickly in NYC. Be sure to contact the museum or society for changes to schedules, admission fees, restrictions on children, strollers, backpacks, etc.
