Every battleship fan's dream come true. We arrived to the ship a bit after opening and were lucky as it wasn't too crowded. You can visit practically all the areas of the ship, starting with the bow and all the way through the captain's cabin, officers mess to to turrets. Paying extra for the guided tour is well worth it as you will learn all kind of interesting facts and anecdotes (command centre and the bridge are a must see). Our guide was very knowledgeable and also funny, it was just a shame we had to cut our tour short. Also, ship is constantly being worked on as part of the maintenance so the sounds over radio and speakers make it seem like it is still alive

An amazing trip and well worth it for all ages. The low cost for tickets allows you to spend hours on this living history museum to see how the Navy spent their time on this floating city. You dont realize how big this ship is until you're in it and on top of the deck. We'll worth the time if you're in the area and you will love it.

Really awesome experience, the ship is massive and full of history. They have everything easy to follow and see with multiple tour paths. Just be aware there are some steep ladder stairs and small enclosed spaces. Definitely recommend, love the Iowa class battleships!

I spent the last two days in Camden and it truly amazing experience. The ship was in a perfect state, testament to all the curatorial, general staff & volunteers. All of them help provide an amazing experience. Several members took the time to have conversations, suggestions & were extremely kind & respectful. The one negative I had was I did not meet curator Ryan Szimanski (who worked himself sick from the Navy’s 250th ceremonies ) which is testament to how hard he leads & works the entire team. I would very much recommend this experience to anyone and will probably find some way to visit again. If you can’t there is always the ship’s YouTube channel which again is top notch. I will remember this visit fondly and so glad I made the journey.

Visiting the USS New Jersey was an incredible and moving experience, made even more special by the unveiling of the USS Enterprise’s stern plate. Being present for such a meaningful moment in naval history was truly unforgettable. Meeting one of the veterans who served aboard the USS New Jersey was an absolute honor, and hearing firsthand stories brought the ship’s history to life in a powerful way. We were also fortunate enough to meet one of the Rosie the Riveters, which added an emotional and inspiring connection to the home-front efforts that supported our service members. The entire experience was respectful, educational, and deeply impactful. This was more than just a museum visit—it was a chance to connect personally with living history. An outstanding experience that we will never forget. Go Navy!
