Sleep over on the Battleship New Jersey
Spend a night on the legendary Battleship New Jersey, a floating museum on the Camden Waterfront across from Penn’s Landing, Philadelphia. From the moment you walk up the gangway, you’ll be greeted with a breathtaking display of the battleship’s size. She’s nearly three football fields long and eleven stories high. During your stay, you’ll develop an appreciation of this Iowa-class battleship built to “keep floating and keep fighting”. Imagine her incredible power firing nine 16-inch guns reaching land targets nearly twenty-three miles away. Provide a lifetime of memories for your group with an Overnight Stay aboard the Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial.
Fun Filled Adventures
After a dinner, guides will take your group on a memorable tour of BB-62’s spaces. You’ll enter one of the ship’s 16-inch gun turrets. Guides will give you a tour of areas that are not on any regular tour routes. You’ll see the Captain’s and Admiral’s cabins, the Officer’s Wardroom and much more while climbing up and down the ship’s original ladders and companionways. The following day after breakfast, your party will be able to leisurely follow a self-guided route taking pictures and further checking the museum’s artifacts and exhibits. The Simulator landside and the Battleship will be waiting for your group to stop along the way.
Outstanding Educational Opportunities
Learn about the roles the Battleship New Jersey played in World War ll, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf. The most decorated battleship in US Naval history has much to share.
Live Like a Sailor
The Battleship New Jersey’s overnight encampment program can accommodate groups and families of all sizes up to 292. Come aboard and:
Stow your gear in a locker — the same lockers that held sailor’s personal belongings when at sea.
Sleep in bunks- just like enlisted sailors.
“Chow down” in the Crew’s Mess.
Other Information
The cost of an overnight is $75 per-person regardless of age.
The minimum age for participation in the overnight program is 6 years old.
The arrival time for all overnights is 1700-1830 hours, (5:00PM–6:30PM). Boarding of the ship starts at 5:00PM. We can accommodate late arrivals only if notified in advance, as the Camden Parking Authority will close the garage at 1900 Hours (7:00 p.m.) sharp. Also, late arrivals may miss the fire drill and safety instructions – both of which are important. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that your group arrive on time.
The overnight includes dinner, breakfast, minimum 1.5-hour tour of the ship, morning and evening colors and a rack (the bunk).
