About the Intrepid Museum:
The Intrepid Museum is a retired US Naval Aircraft Carrier converted into an innovative music complex. Just the opportunity to be on an aircraft carrier is pretty special, but there’s a lot more to see, including a collection of aircraft (the Concorde!), a submarine (that you can go on), and the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Learn more about the Intrepid Museum.
The Intrepid is located in Manhattan, on Pier 86, at 46th Street and the Hudson River. See location on Google Maps.
