Naval Undersea Museum - Keyport

I visited the Naval Undersea Museum today on business. I am always impressed at how well this museum is maintained. It is large, has a variety of exhibits and is well worth the time to visit.
Because the museum is maintained by the Navy there is no admission so it is a great deal for anyone, but especially families. Besides the exhibits you might expect about the history of naval warfare, there is a wide range of exhibits about all things dealing with the world under the sea.
The are many interactive exhibits that do a great job of explaining Density, Bouyancy, Salinity and other concepts dealing with the sea. These are great for kids and adults enjoy them as well. There are also lots of things to touch - periscopes for one with views of the parking lot.
A new exhibit is an area specifically for children where they can try on various Navy uniforms, play with puzzles, read books and generally have a good time.

If you're one of those people who see the sign on the highway but haven't gotten around to stopping in - make sure to get it on your list to places to visit.

The Naval Undersea Museum combines naval history, undersea technology, and marine science to create an exciting and educational experience for visitors. More
