Promising ‘Enterprise’

Beam yourself aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, which is home to the Space Shuttle Enterprise, from now through Oct. 31.

The spacecraft is installed in the Space Shuttle Pavilion on the flight deck, and the exhibition allows visitors to walk directly underneath it or ascend to a viewing platform near the nose to get up close and take a look inside.

The museum also offers a view of seven full decks and four theme halls; a collection of 27 other aircraft, where guests experience the flight deck; and the 12,240-square-foot, interactive Exploreum, which contains a variety of hands-on activities that allow visitors to sit on a bunk bed and get a taste of what it’s like to live at sea, send out a message in Morse code, and try out a flight simulator.

The museum is open daily through Oct. 31; Monday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, from 10 am to 6 pm. General admission is $30 for adults; $26 seniors and college students; $23 children, ages 7 to 17, and veterans; $16 children, ages 3 to 6, and free for active and retired military members, and children under 3.
