Spring 2025 Submarine Tour

Spring Tours

Spring has sprung, but we have yet to see if it will be mild or cold, snowy or green.  We strongly suggest that you watch the weather as your planned tour date approaches, and the situation in Port Burwell can change very quickly.  Be sure to dress for the weather outside, as the submarine is not heated, and the inside can be as cold (or colder) than the weather outside

The Schedule:             As the weather warms with Spring, our frequency of opening will also increase.  Please keep an eye on this website, as                                        we may be adding more dates if we have the demand and the available staff (many of our staff are still in school).             

Be aware that Spring storms may force closure of the site, as Winter tries to get in a few last licks, often with very little or no notice.  The vessel is NOT HEATED, so be sure to dress for the temperatures forecast for your visit.   This 60+ minute tour will take you through the boat, entering the forward torpedo room, and exiting from the after torpedo room, and will give you a greater appreciation of the cramped conditions the crew had to function in. Minimum age for children taking the tour is 8 years old.   It has been our experience over the years that children under that age have difficulty with the length of the tour.  Pets are not permitted on the tours (service animals excepted) - and even they can be quite stressed by the open stairways and odours found on board, so please consider this when planning your tour.  We now have  two fenced pens where you may choose to have your pet wait while you take your tour.  Each area offers shade and fresh water, and are available on a first come, first served basis  .We ask that you please arrive at our ticket office at least 15 minutes before your tour time.
