A must-see for any NYC trip - Very cool museum; even my skeptical 10 year old loved it. The history and technological might on display are humbling and awesome. Take the time to read the placards for all the aircraft; some really interesting stories. And the museum does a good job focusing on the humans involved, and remains solemn while being very engaging.

Visit the Intrepid on a good weather day - The exhibits are marvelous. We visited on a cold, rainy day and it was really uncomfortable to look at the outside exhibits.

It's okay. Worth about $10 pp imho. - Booked through TripAdvisor. No problems with tickets. Exhibition was okay. But nothing special. I couldn't really recommend it.

Rip off experience - Absolutely awful experience. 50% of the intrepid is closed off and then to enjoy some of the other things such as the simulators, you need to pay extra. Full price yet only half experience. One to avoid.
