Finding the museum

The Intrepid Museum is at Pier 86 on the Hudson River, at West 46th Street and 12th Avenue in Manhattan.

• By ferry: the nearest NYC Ferry stop is Midtown West at Pier 79 (West 39th Street), a 10–15 minute walk north along 12th Avenue.
• By car: the museum has no visitor parking and does not validate parking tickets.
• Before arrival: leave time for the journey and entry checks so you are ready for your booked slot.

Useful stops along the way

Facilities can change through the year. Visitors can usually expect:

• Toilets for visitors.
• Intrepid Marketplace on the mess deck and the pier, and the Aviator Grill in the Welcome Center.
• Vending machines on the pier and the flight deck.
• No bag or coat check: keep your belongings, including strollers, with you.

There is no bag or coat check, so travel light and keep your belongings with you. Ask staff about current arrangements when you arrive.

A visit that works for you

The Intrepid is a historic aircraft carrier spread over several decks. Strollers, large bags and luggage are not allowed on the submarine Growler or the Concorde; check the museum’s accessibility information before you visit.

• Check arrangements for your particular mobility or access needs before travelling.
• If you are bringing a stroller, confirm the current arrangements before arrival.
• Ask museum staff for assistance or directions during your visit.

Enjoy the museum thoughtfully

• Keep to the visitor paths, walk rather than run, and supervise children.
• Leave the aircraft and exhibits untouched unless signs invite you to try them, and take care on stairs between decks.
• Read the museum’s Code of Conduct on its website before your visit.
• Commercial photography and filming, including product promotion, need permission.
• Follow the signs and staff guidance, including any restrictions in the exhibition spaces.

A little care helps protect the ships, the aircraft and the visit for everyone.

Make time for a pause

The Intrepid Marketplace on the mess deck and the pier, and the Aviator Grill in the Welcome Center, serve food during your visit.

• Stop for breakfast, lunch, a hot drink or refreshments nearby.
• Leave room in your plans to sit down and enjoy the setting.
• Check opening hours and menus on the day; food and drinks are purchased separately.

The menus include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

A few details worth planning

• Book ahead: choose the date, time and places you want to visit before making other plans.
• Keep your QR ticket ready: save it on your phone or bring a printed copy, with any proof needed for reduced admission.
• Start in the right place: arrive within the 30-minute entry window on your ticket and follow its instructions.
• Dress for exploring: comfortable shoes, a warm layer and a charged phone make the day easier.
• Leave space to linger: allow extra time for the flight deck, the Space Shuttle Pavilion and the submarine.
