Hello,

Although we may be physically distancing, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is open virtually for exploration and conversation! Visitors who are blind or have low vision are invited for virtual verbal description tours of the Intrepid Museum's historic spaces, collection and exhibitions.

These educator-led tours are conducted remotely over Zoom with verbal description and conversation. Programs are accessible by web link and by call-in phone number, depending on your preference.
