Tour Info
Take a tour of the largest inland Naval Park in the United States
We offer a variety of tour options for your visit. There is so much to see on board USS The Sullivans, USS Little Rock, and USS Croaker, as well as our museum building and grounds. We recommend planning at least 2 hours for your visit to the Buffalo Naval & Military Park. When touring most areas of the ships, visitors should expect to traverse narrow passageways, be able to step over significantly raised thresholds, and climb up and down very steep ladders.
Self-Guided Tour
A Self-Guided Tour allows you full access to the ships and the museum. Here you can walk at your own pace while experiencing the displays, exhibits, and artifacts. Tickets for a Self-Guided Tour can be purchased online or in person at the Museum Gift Shop for the standard admission price.
Guided Tour
If you are interested in exploring the USS The Sullivans, USS Little Rock, and USS Croaker with a knowledgeable tour guide, then this is the tour for you! Take a guided tour of the Buffalo Naval & Military Park with a docent to learn even more about the largest inland Naval Park in the country. Bring your questions and learn more about life aboard ship. After the tour, you are welcome to explore the ships, submarine, museum, and grounds on your own at your leisure.
Group Tour
Any group or school with 10 or more people can take advantage of touring the ships at a special group rate. Group tours may be guided or self-guided and must be booked in advance in order to receive the discounted rate. If you are interested in booking a school or group tour, please visit our Group Page or contact [email protected].
