A Must See Tourist Experience!
**When planning your weekend visit, please note we will be closed Easter Sunday, April 9th; Friday, November 4th for private member tours; and Friday December 23rd and Saturday December 24th for Christmas**
Visit the Hunley and see the world’s first combat submarine along with amazing artifacts found onboard during excavation of the crew compartment. A unique tourist experience that covers three centuries of history and technology.
We are open on Saturday 10 AM – 5PM and Sunday from 10 AM – 3 PM. With a store, interactive exhibits, and activities, most visitors stay at least one hour. Since door shuts at closing time, please be sure to arrive to allow enough time to fully enjoy your experience! As always, tours are not available on weekdays so scientists can continue their work preserving the Hunley for future generations and discovering her true history (except for pre-planned private group tours and school visits).
