THE BATTLESHIP IOWA MUSEUM
Battleship USS Iowa Museum - San Pedro- Los Angeles Waterfront Attraction. Minutes from Long Beach.
Visit LA’s award-winning museum, Battleship IOWA, which is the West Coast’s only Battleship open to the public and is located at the L.A. Waterfront. Tour the ship that served during WWII, the Korean War, and the Cold War.
Walk the wood decks and see areas such as the 16” guns, 5” guns, missile decks, bridge, mess areas, and the world famous Captain’s Cabin - with the only bathtub installed on a battleship for a President. Known as “The Battleship of Presidents,” IOWA has hosted four Presidents - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and Joe Biden - and numerous dignitaries during almost 70 years of service.
New for 2024 is the "Stewards of the Sea" interactive display and learn how the US Navy cares for our oceans. The ship also has a new, escape room-style scavenger hunt that is fun for the entire family.
