Visitors of all ages are sure to have a blast – not literally of course – in this Connecticut attraction. The museum not only houses an incredible cornucopia of submarine artifacts, but it also entertains guests with a replica of the first submarine in the world and let them experience “assuming” control of such a vessel.

While there, make sure you don’t miss the free audio tour offered all year round aboard the world’s 1st nuclear-powered submarine – also the first one to travel the proverbial 20,000 leagues under the sea - the USS Nautilus.
