Allowing adults to peruse historical artifacts onboard the ship and allowing children to roam around a real naval ship, the battleship’s self-guided tour is an incredible experience for everyone. Pretend you’re living the life of a sailor by climbing ladders and exploring winding hallways. If you’re in Wilmington during any holiday, you may be lucky to catch an extra special event on board the USS North Carolina. From the Easter Egg Hunt Carnival to the Ghost Ship, every day on board the battleship is fun and exciting.
