Yes it is! There are benches near the stop to have a sit down whilst waiting. 3 minute walk max to naval yard.

There are several areas to visit, the ship, the visitors center with video and the museum are the highlights. Probably 2-3 hours stay dependent on whether you visit them all.

You can easily follow the trail (just follow the red trailed marked on the sidewalks). But you might want to consider an inexpensive tour guide who will provide lots of interesting information about what you are seeing. Our group felt we would have missed a lot without the benefit of our guide

The ship is in dry dock for restoration. It is really something very unique to see while it sits totally out of the water. We were able to board the ship and to explore the main deck and the one below it. I'm not sure if you can still due that due to the restoration schedule. I know they still have to move the cannons back onto the ship, so this could make it off limits to visitors awhile. Please don't let this discourage you from visiting. The museum is amazing (especially if you have school age children). And, even if you can't board the ship, you'll love seeing her in dry dock.

I would go early in the morning. The museum can be done in 30 minutes or several hours depending on your level of interest. Talk to the crew on the ship. They tell the story best!

It's free. You can donate whatever you feel is appropriate.

If you go on their website there are directions to the Nautica Parking Garage where I think you can get discounted parking.

Yes it is accessible by wheelchair and there is a lift available inside

Hi Helpinghand 2015, Yes, visitors are still able to explore USS Constitution’s top (spar) deck while in dry dock. In September, the Ship will be available for boarding in the afternoons from 2:30-6:00 Tuesday through Friday and 10:00-6:00 on weekends (closed Mondays)*. Visiting USS Constitution is free and does not require any advance ticketing since boarding is done on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, please be aware that visitors must pass through a security inspection and show federal or state photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport, before going aboard the Ship. Visitors under the age of 18 do not require a photo identification card. Also, as you may or may not be aware, the USS Constitution Museum and the Ship are operated separately. The Museum, open daily from 9:00-6:00, provides interactive exhibits, hands-on gallery programs, and a vast collection of artifacts that connect visitors of all ages to the stories of “Old Ironsides.” For more information on visiting the Museum, please visit our website. *The hours listed above are subject to change at any time. The Navy’s website provides the most up-to-date information on visiting the Ship. We look forward to welcoming you in September! -The Visitor Experience team at the USS Constitution Museum
