VIP Access
Two Ways to Enjoy

Independence Day Family Night and VIP Fireworks View

Come early and climb aboard USS Constellation for free light refreshments, treats, and bottled water, cannon firings, and a Guided tour of this historic vessel while you wait for the fireworks. Join the tour or just come and hang out aboard ship or on our rooftop terrace and enjoy the evening view. The Tour includes access to all four decks of the ship. Try out a hammock, participate in a hands-on demonstration and see a live cannon firing. This tour is for the whole family as well as adults; just be ready to put your hands on part of the ship for the demonstration.

Tour Time: 8pm-9:15pm.

Tour will end about 15min before the fireworks begin. Bring your chairs or blankets to set up on our rooftop deck overlooking the fireworks barge. Tour participants will have early access to pick your viewing spot before the non-tour VIP viewers enter the museum. You may also bring your own refreshments, but please clean up before you leave.

  • Adult (15+) $22
  • Youth (6-14) $13
