Such a cool experience! Enjoyed myself here
It was a really interesting and well thought out tour of this amazing and beautifully built battleship.
It was a nice experience at Battleship Iowa. All sections are well maintained and there are clear demarcation on the route to be taken, you will never lose your way inside. Interesting to see the life of the navy men, weapons used and their canteen. Note: strollers are not allowed inside, but they have a stroller parking lot. There is only 1 toilet that is functional on board ; it is at the exit side of the ship just before you get down. Parking is tricky. They had barricaded the entrance to the parking lot, so you can miss the turn in which case you may miss the turn. There is a board saying Battleship USS. You have to look for the board, then turn into it and tell the watcher that you want ro visit the museum and then they will let you in. Overall, parking situation is very messy.
