Frequently Asked Questions

The General Access Ticket includes self-guided exploration of the main decks, gun turrets, crew quarters, and the bridge. It does not include access to restricted areas or guided behind-the-scenes tours.
Most visitors spend between 1.5 to 2 hours completing the self-guided tour of the ship's primary exhibits and decks.
The tour features audio guides, historical artifacts, and interactive displays detailing the ship's naval history and the daily lives of its crew.
The ship is permanently docked at Berth 87 in the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro, and visitors board via a gangway located at the end of the main parking lot.
The tour is family-friendly and suitable for children, though parents should supervise them closely near steep stairs and open deck edges.
Due to the historic nature of the vessel, wheelchair access is limited to the main deck and a few specific areas, as steep ladders and narrow bulkheads prevent full accessibility.
Arriving right at opening time or visiting on weekdays outside of summer holidays offers the least crowded experience.
Large backpacks, tripods, and food or beverages are not permitted on the ship, but small personal bags and water bottles are allowed.
General Admission tickets are valid for any regular operating day within one year of the purchase date and do not require a specific time reservation.
Visitors must wear closed-toe shoes with good traction, as the steel decks and steep stairways can be slippery and uneven.

If you are a military enthusiast and come to Los Angeles, you can definitely come here without going to other attractions. The battleship Iowa was decommissioned in 1990 and towed to Los Angeles in 2012. On July 4 of that year, which is National Day in the United States, the Battleship Iowa officially became a floating museum and was open to the public.
