About

Battleship New Jersey is a World War II-era battleship that served through Korea, Vietnam and the 1980s and is now a museum on the Camden waterfront. Visitors walk marked self-guided routes through berthing spaces, the bridge and exhibits, or join a 90-minute guided tour at noon. The full routes involve steep ladders and high step openings, though the main deck is described as fully accessible. Gun-firing add-ons, overnight stays, group tours and special events are sold separately and are not covered here.

Run by: Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial.
