Battleship IOWA: Guided Tour with Life of Sailor Experience
About this experience
Begin you visit with the Life of a Sailor Experience, a self-guided tour through seven decks featuring immersive exhibits, ship spaces, the new National Museum of the Surface Navy, and Vicky the Ship's Dog scavenger hunt.
Then join a 90-minute crew-led guided tour that brings Battleship IOWA's history to life. Hear stories spanning her launch in 1943, service in World War II, Korea, and the Cold War, through her decommissioning in 1990, all shared by today's crew.
Your ticket includes both the guided tour and self-guided experience, allowing you to explore at your own pace before or after the tour.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
