Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park
The largest inland naval park in the United States, where you can board a World War II destroyer, a guided-missile cruiser and a submarine.
Three decommissioned warships are moored at the park: the World War II Fletcher-class destroyer 'Sullivan Brothers,' which honors five brothers who died aboard the same ship; the guided-missile cruiser 'Little Rock'; and the submarine 'Shark.' Visitors can board and explore the ships' compartments, gun turrets and torpedo rooms. There are also fighter jets, tanks and military exhibits. It is a few minutes' walk from Canalside. The passageways inside the ships are narrow and the stairs steep, so visitors with limited mobility should take care. Tickets are required. Peak season is April–October, and winter opening hours are shorter.
Opening hours
Apr–Oct, approx. 10:00–17:00; shorter in winter
