Even the most experienced traveler can use a little help now and then to get the most from their visit. Especially when there are as many things to do and see as there are in South Jersey.
Here are a few tours to get you started:
The Battleship New Jersey – Camden Waterfront
Permission granted to climb aboard the Battleship New Jersey, the largest and most decorated battleship in U.S. history. Explore 16-inch gun turrets, visit the Bridge, watch a simulated launch of tomahawk cruise missiles from the Combat Engagement Center, see where the crew slept and ate, and much more.
Self-guided and docent-assisted tours available. Also ask about the Firepower Tour, which features a close-up look at the ship's weapon systems and a simulated Tomahawk missile launch in the Combat Engagement Center.
