The USS Albacore is across the river from the Portsmouth Navy Yard ( in Kittery Maine) and is fun and interesting for all ages. The submarine honors the submariners and the builders of their submarines at the same time. Everyone should visit.

This is a great attraction for families with children and almost everyone else. Since you are navigating through the hatches of a submarine, it is not accessible to those with physical limitations.
The USS Albacore played an important role in the development of our modern submarine fleet. The displays and recordings help the visitor to quickly understand what they are...

We toured the USS Albatross with our 5 and 9 yr old grandkids and we all loved it. It is very kid friendly - they can sit at the controls, flip switches and turn wheels. Each area has a button to push for a recording of what went on in that area including comments from sailors who actually served on...

Always wanted to check this out and for $5 for adults (kids under 7 I believe are free) it's totally worth stopping through and checking this out.
The audio history pieces are helpful and informative, as well as trying to wrap your head around what it must have been like to serve on a sub are amazing and thought provoking...

Our family of six visited this great little sub so that they could see what a smaller sub looked like inside. The children were amazed that it was at onetime a working sub. This sits right off the highway and you can not miss it.
One of my favorites in Portsmouth. At $5, worth every penny and more. Self guided, go at your own pace - great look and walk thru a REAL submarine. In original condition, amazing to see how these guys lived and worked on this vessel. Actually,a bit chilling to imagine that existence. Be sure to look for it - as it's...

This submarine is complete just as when it was commissioned in the US Navy. It is a GREAT tourist attraction.
This is a two year late review, but well worth the stop if your visiting Portsmouth, NH. This sub is a great experience for anyone who has never walked through a submarine before, like myself. To see all the engineering and technology that went into the sub back in the day it was designed was unbelievable. My wife and I...

This submarine is so much fun to walk around in. A self guided tour makes for a great experience. Take your time inside, press buttons to hear information about certain rooms or things. Kids love this place. FUN FUN FUN, worth a trip for something different!
The museum is kind of out of the way, but if you find it you will enjoy what it has to offer.
The entrance fee is minimal, and well worth the experience. Children will have a lot of fun climbing through the submarine and pretending to be the captain.
I would highly recommend taking the time to visit, with or...
