I love sea wolf, go see it memorial day! It will bring tears to your eyes to watch the ceremony. Go any other time to. I love the submarine, I have to use a pry bar to get my son out of there. The destroyer is ok, not in super shape. Kids love it since you can climb, go through,... More

The ship as well as submarine and the access and freedom to look at everything was quite nice. I see some peoples complaints about the ruins around the place and they do have a point. The walkways and older building are in ruins. I was glad the sub and ship werent like that but I guess that is because they... More

Seawolf Park is on Pelican Island about five miles from Broadway. It cost $6 a car to get into the park itself. You can pay more and go into the submarine and destroyer if you want to. The park building was destroyed in the last hurricane and is not open but you can walk around the outside and see the... More

The only decent structure is the entrance gate. Everything else looks as if it is decaying from neglect. The gate attendant was as friendly and helpful as a turnip. There is a large building near the pier that is fenced off and partially in ruins. The submarine was interesting, but is in about the worst condition of a WW2 fleet... More

This is a great place to be able to catch Dolphins at play. It was a disappointment there isn't' a gift shop but it is still a good place to take pictures of the fairies, tug boats, birds, and of course the Dolphins. The ship and the submarine are not handicap accessible which is understandable so we didn't get to... More

almost didn't do this tour. Had planned on it but when we asked about it at dinner the night before, a local didn't give it a good review. So glad we didn't listen to him. Our kids are history buffs and we decided to go regardless. You tour the sub and ship at your own pace and can take as... More

This didn't cost much, was informative and not very long. Great for kids, too. You actually get to go through the sub. Really worth the time and ticket price.

We happened upon Seawolf Park accidentally and it was the best part of our day. There is a Navy ship and submarine to tour with a gift shop and this is the point where the ferry runs and you can see many ships/tankers coming around the tip of the island. It cost $16 for two adults to enter the park... More

My son and I toured Sea Wolf Park on our annual father/son vacation. The park offers a great opportunity to tour the USS Cavalla, a sub which saw extensive duty in the Pacific Theater in WW2, as well as the USS Stewart, an Edsall class destroyer escort of the same era. The sub sank a number of Japanese vessels during... More

You can go in the The USS Stewart Destroyer Submarine and feel what it was like for the brave heros who fought in WW II. There is also the USS Cavala Destroyer Ship, and my kids were in 7th heaven all over the ship!! It a wonderful historic site for all ages and to remember fallen heros.
