Hidden Battleship Tour

Offered only four times this coming year, with one more tour in 2026, Hidden Battleship takes adventurous visitors beyond the traditional self-guided tour and into unrestored areas of the Battleship North Carolina Memorial that are normally closed to the public. Led by experienced guides in small groups, participants explore spaces deep below deck, throughout the third deck, in the bow, and high into the Ship's superstructure—including all the way to the top.

Designed for adventurous history enthusiasts, the six-hour experience requires climbing ladders, crossing high hatches, and navigating tight and confined spaces. For that reason, the program is limited to participants ages 16 and older.

Because attendance is intentionally limited to provide a safe, behind-the-scenes experience, Hidden Battleship consistently sells out well in advance. The experience has become a favorite among repeat visitors, military history enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone looking to explore a side of the Ship that few ever have the opportunity to see.

Whether you're searching for a memorable gift or your next great adventure, Hidden Battleship offers an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience unlike any other.

Visitors are encouraged to reserve their spots early.

Tickets and additional information are available on their website.
