Touring the submarine itself was interesting, but, as others have mentioned, not good for the claustrophobic. Doorways are tiny. I’m only 5’3” and I had to duck. But still worth it to see the living … Full review by 348emilyl

Q:
When you purchase a ticket for a certain day, do you have to go at a particular time like you do for the Arizona Memorial?
A:
I don't think so. I recall waiting for the Arizona film to start and then going out to the site but I think for the submarine you just go whenever.
