About this adventure
Families can walk the wooden decks of the 1863 Star of India—the world's oldest active sailing ship—climb aboard the Victorian 1898 steam ferry Berkeley, and step inside the Cold War submarine USS Dolphin. Kids love turning the wooden helm ship wheels and exploring historic crew bunks. The museum's dockside walkways and wide ferry decks are stroller accessible, with family restrooms and scenic views of passing harbor boats.
