#losangelesA visit to the USS Iowa is a treat for people who are interested in local and global history. The docent who relayed the stories about the construction and use of this massive ship was very knowledgeable and interesting. His enthusiasm was contagious. It is important for people to wear walking shoes that are not slippery or high heels. The steps are steep on the ship, but the safety reminders at the start of the tour were very helpful on how to negotiate the steps. All in all the ship tour was well marked, great with explanations of each room, and very interesting. The only downside was the lack of a real place to eat that wasn't a hotdog stand. But, that didn't really matter with the number of local restaurants within walking distance

I have always been keen on various battleship museums. This time I came to visit the USS Iowa in Los Angeles‼ I've been here before during Fleet week, but there were too many people so I didn't go in. This time I came mid-week and there weren't many people so I just wandered around a battleship. The USS IOWA Battleship (BB 61) was built by the U.S. Navy in the late 1930s. It was a 45,000-ton-displacement, 1⃣-class battleship. It served for nearly 50 years and had powerful firepower and high speed. At the request of President Franklin, it became the only warship with a bathtub. The battleship is now docked in the port of Long Beach, with most of the items preserved inside. Visitors can follow the arrows on the ground to walk around the entire battleship. The entire tour is divided into three floors on the ship and two floors below. The upper three floors are mainly the military equipment of the warship⛓ and the daily life area of ​​the navy💈, while the lower two floors are the history of the warship📖 Adults 🎫25, Elderly/Military 🎫22 Teenagers 🎫18, children under two years old 🆓 USS Iowa ⚓ Battleship USS Iowa Museum 📍250 S Harbor Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90731 There is a parking lot in front of the museum. It takes about an hour and a half to visit. It closes at five o'clock.

That was great to hear the stories, you could also feel that they are passionate about their work. Tour has enough descriptions, you can smell old school mechanics, see how everything is built. I wish there was a chance to see turrets from inside. 👍🏻 The view is spectacular from the ship and it actually is an enriched experience that u get while walking through the entire ship, There are no restrictions on taking pictures. 📸 The tour guides are very knowledgeable and will always try to answer any questions you have. To have access to guided tours I highly recommend weekends when there are more volunteers available. The tour is really easy to follow and with so much to see. And they added new features from to time. I highly recommend a visit. 💋✨ #wheretogoThat #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom
