A museum and memorial dedicated to the 10,000 North Carolina soldiers who lost their lives, the USS North Carolina received 15 battle stars during World War II, the most of any vessel during the war. Read more

Wear shoes with a sturdy sole (nothing that will allow you to slip easily). Lots of fun, history and a great learning experience for kids of all ages!

Great place to take kids (teenagers) and adults. We had a blast exploring and imagining how live was on the ship for the soldiers

Everything is absolutely amazing. There are lots of stairs though. So beware of that.

Really extensive self-guided tour. I didn't expect to see that much of the ship!

Photo Tip: Arrive early to get the best light for the 16" guns on the aft deck of the boat, which faces downtown across the Cape Fear River.

Allow a minimum of 2 hours to see the 'basics' on the self guided tour. A great way to understand the conditions that sailors & marines had to tolerate on board this ship.

What a great family experience to learn about history and cool big guns! :)

Bring a camera and get some really cool shots from the deck or inside the multiple levels of the ship.
Kate SmithMay 10, 2012
A little bit expensive, $12 a person and very time consuming we were there for 3 hours and we tried to hurry ourselves along. Definitely something to see though!!
Pavan MSeptember 2, 2013
Allot yourself at least 2 to 2.5 hours to see everything. Memories from the sailors who served are really interesting.

It's been 25 years since I was here. Still a great treasure of WWII history.

Nice place to visit for half an hour, then you'll get bored. Too hot down there

Explore this WWII battleship and keep an eye out for the ghost! He's known to hang out in the galley sometimes.

Dont wear a skirt! Youll be climbing up and down ladders, most of which have fans near them!
Matt McGuinnessJune 2, 2010
if you show up at the right time of the day you can meet the guy who wrote the ghost story book about the ship

Cool place for a history lesson.
Randy TeerJuly 25, 2012
I recommend not going in the middle of summertime, it was way too hot and humid. It was a bit pricey as well.
Diane WolfeMarch 14, 2012
Always a great time, don't forget to wear closed toe shoes.

Flip flops are not GI for a reason! I suggest tennis shoes.
