Loved our tour. Learned much about the ship and about the crews who were aboard from our great tour guide. Wonderful supplement to the Science Center.

What a neat thing to be able to do! My husband and son loved it, tiny spaces and doorways to step thru. I must admit, I got pretty claustrophobic within minutes which has never happened to me before!

If you have never been inside a submarine before, you should explore this. It is hard to imagine how people spent days and night inside, out on the seas.

A great learning experience - especially for the cheap price. Be sure to upgrade to this as well if you go to the Carnegie Science Center.

This tour is just cool. Especially if you're a history buff and/or are fascinated by submarines. Very glad I did this and will probably check it out again. Fascinating.

Located at the Carnegie Science Center on the North Shore this little piece of history is a real memory maker. If you have never been in a sub, and you are in the burgh, you really should check out our U S S Requin which has guided tours. It helps to be a small framed person! I sure wouldn't like... More

We stopped by the science ctr but did not have enough time to go through the whole thing so we chose instead to tour the sub. It was $5 per person and worth the cost. Kids were between 9 and 14 years old. Steps getting in and out were steep and small as well as inside it was tight but... More

The USS Requin is a part of The Carnegie Science Center on the North Shore of Pittsburgh--You can do both, and an Imax theater all together--or pay separate prices for each--it's a WWII submarine--and you get to tour it--it's still moored in the water and the tower is a weather station--you can't believe how narrow and small our mariner's had...

Its worth the 30 minutes to see a piece of our past and how naval officers and seaman lived in a submarine. If you fear small spaces, this is not for you. I had a hard time believing that 80 crewmen were once on board. It is not often you can see the inside of a submarine, see torpedo bays,... More
