AI summary of 5 Google reviews — not a first-hand visit. How we write these

Several historic ships and a submarine to climb through. Reviewers rate it highly for kids but say it is hard going with a stroller or limited mobility. Most spend two to three hours. The bay tour add-on is repeatedly called worth it. Park on the ship side for a longer time limit.

Historic ships on the Embarcadero including the Star of India, an 1863 iron-hulled tall ship that holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest active sailing ship on Earth, having circled the globe 21 times. Climb through the B-39, a real Cold War-era Soviet submarine that played a role in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

  • Leilani Villaverde★★★★★

    We got the ticket that included the bay tour, highly recommended! 45 mins cruise with guide and nice facilities. 5 ships to visit, historic boats and a little submarine. Great for kids, not so great of you have a disability, it’ll be difficult to explore the boats. Well kept facilities, clean bathrooms and great treasures. 28.00 a ticket plus 10.00 for the cruise Cheaper than the other cruises and on board 90 years old ship

    This was so much fun and it's so absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. It's been years since I feel like I've been surrounded by something so beautiful and amazing. We had an absolutely amazing time. I would like to come back every single time I come out here from Utah.
