 Experience Great Lakes maritime history at the largest maritime museum in the Midwest and the only Smithsonian affiliate in Wisconsin. Take a guided tour of USS Cobia, the nation’s most completely restored WWII submarine; operate a triple-expansion steam engine; stroll the streets of a historic Great Lakes port; scan the harbor through a periscope; explore some of the spectacular boats made in Wisconsin; land a record setting salmon at the Sportfishing Simulator; and think like a scientist in our Suspect Species Investigation Lab!
Scouts also have the opportunity to earn towards the American Heritage Merit Badge while visiting.

Planning Your Visit - Groups of ten participants or more are eligible for our group admission prices. This rate is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-15. The tour escort, the bus driver and children ages 5 and under are admitted free of charge.
- For groups of 50 participants or less, plan to spend at least 2 ½ hours at the museum. Groups of 50 or larger should plan to spend at least 3 hours at the museum.
- Please confirm your reservation and final attendance numbers by calling the Museum at least 24 hours in advance of your visit. Please inform us of any changes or special needs.

During your visit:- Please arrive on time. If your group will be arriving more than 10 minutes late, please inform the Museum by calling our toll free number, 866-724-2356.

Special Needs:- Please inform the Museum as soon as possible regarding your group’s special needs. The Wisconsin Maritime Museum is fully accessible and has a small number of wheelchairs available to those who require use of them. Please let us know in advance if your group wishes to reserve these.
- Having been designated a National Historic Landmark, the USS Cobia has been restored as closely as possible to its original World War II design in order to accurately preserve this important time in United States history. Because of this, the USS Cobia is not accessible by wheelchair. We do, however, have a video of the submarine tour that we would be happy to share with those who are unable to tour the submarine due to limited mobility. Please notify the Museum in advance if you wish to see this video.
Museum Store:- We also invite your group to visit Pier 75, our Museum Store. It is conveniently located beside the reception desk at the front of the Museum. Pier 75 is stocked with a wide variety of unique maritime treasures which make for excellent souvenirs of your visit.
Once again, thank you for planning your visit with the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. We are looking forward to serving your group! |
