Spend the Night on a Battleship

Battleship New Jersey

Experience Battleship New Jersey like the sailors did. With the war ship-turned-museum’s overnight stay program, groups can spend the night on the legendary vessel. Start with a line dinner in the mess hall followed by a tour of the ship. Then head to the crew’s bunks to rest your head for the night (just like the sailors did!). Breakfast is served the next morning, and everyone leaves with a personalized dog tag and a lot of memories. For more information, visit the website.
