Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum's newly launched website, offering a window into the world of Intrepid and all she stands for both in history, and as an exciting interactive museum.

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum has just completed an unprecendented two year restoration and renovation to its exterior surfaces and interior spaces, offering the visitor a completely new experience from first glance onward. More than 20 aircraft have been completely restored, a number of them now again bearing paint schemes and squadron markings they actually carried when first flying. The pure fabric of the ship has been uncovered, so that the visitor can experience the true texture and integrity of the interior of the ship. New spaces, never before seen by the public, have been restored and unveiled, offering visitors a behind the scenes look into the lives of the 3000 men who lived aboard Intrepid at any given time. And finally, a series of new and exciting interactive exhibits have been installed, offering a complete and fluid journey into the history of Intrepid and its significance through major world events. The world's fascination with the stoic machine itself is depicted through rare historic artifacts, graphics, and interactive stations, as are the human stories, stories of the crewmembers who served aboard this mighty ship, and their acts of heroism, service, and sacrifice.

In addition, Pier 86, home to Intrepid, has been completely rebuilt, offering park-like amenities and an inviting oasis to visit on the west side of Manhattan. On the Pier you will tour the British Airways Concorde, the Growler submarine, or take a ride in our Flight Simulator.
