- UpstateNY518Ballston Lake, NY46 contributionsWow.. There is alot to see and you can go in the submarine.
Thought this would be a lame 45 minute maximum stop, and we were there for hours. Could have stayed longer, but we got hungry. There is a 50 minute movie, other videos, lots of displays.
Could have done without the 1920's video playing non-stop. It echoed throughout much of the display area.
Open sub was great, because there were only a handful of people there on the Monday when we went. Would have enjoyed less if it was crowded (very confining).Written 11 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Really made me proud to be an Anerican.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Felixberto ECoventry, CT353 contributionsThis is a very picturesque lighthouse site! It was rebuilt a few years ago, near-by is the UConn University Oceanography studies(land and sea grant). It is a grand mansion, home of the late Plant family! This light house just complement this Plant Mansion! Both Avery Lighthouse and Mansion are a very beautiful landmark, almost a hidden gem of the State of Ct! Must see for everyone, etc.Written 18 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MrMurphy05Connecticut50 contributionsOne of the few Connecticut Revolutionary War sites. I went here with my son as we spent the day in New London looking at Coast Guard Acadamy Muesum, Fort Trumbull and the Nautilus Sub. I live not far down I-95 so it was not a big travel for me but the site is a sad piece of Revolutionary War history. It was more of a slaughter than a battle and it was American on American as I am not sure if any Brits or Hessians partook in the battle. Some historians believe it was Gen Arnold getting back at people as he grew up in the area a few miles up the River Thames in Norwich. He was a vindictive person but also screwed over but not a reason to become a traitor.Written 14 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sal_Paradise767Durham, NC5,475 contributionsThis brewery has what you're looking for (or at least what I'm looking for). Their own parking lot, outdoor and indoor seating, plus a wide variety of beers both their own and guest taps. It's a nice place to hang out and enjoy a beer in.Written 4 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
