Active Duty Ship Tours

Come check out visiting Navy ships!

A few need-to-know points regarding ship tours:

– A new timed approach to ticketing is in development. Check back here for details as the event approaches.

– Anyone wishing to tour an active duty ship will need to come to the main event EXPO to board a free ship tour shuttle. Ship tour lines are inside the EXPO footprint and are open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily from Friday, May 23, through Monday, May 26.

– Ship tour lines will close promptly.

– The main event EXPO is located at 250 S. Harbor Blvd., San Pedro, CA 90731 – directly adjacent to the Battleship IOWA.

– Please wear closed-toed shoes. For your safety, flip flops and high-heeled shoes are strongly discouraged.

IMPORTANT: The only way to reach the ship tour location is by shuttle from the main event EXPO. There is no personal vehicle or pedestrian access to the ship tour area.
