Item Description

Just try topping this amazing experience: A private tour for 10 people on the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier plus dinner aboard the ship in a VIP room!

This memorable dinner will entail a four-course meal with wine pairings, with the exact menu to be arranged with the winner.

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is one of America’s leading historic, cultural and educational institutions.  Opened in 1982, the Museum has welcomed more than 10 million visitors.  The Museum is centered on the aircraft carrier Intrepid (CVS-11), one of the most successful ships in US history, and now a national historic landmark and one of the most unique attractions in New York City.

In 1943, Intrepid was commissioned and served proudly in World War II.  She went on to serve as one of the primary recovery vessels for NASA, three tours of duty off Vietnam, and submarine surveillance in the North Atlantic during the Cold War. Today she continues her service as a premier educational center and a monument to all who have served our nation in uniform.
 
The Museum features a range of interactive exhibits and events providing a snapshot of heroism, education, and excitement.  Children and adults alike find themselves immersed in and inspired by the Museum’s exhibits, which range from thrilling historical re-creations such as Kamikaze: Day of Darkness, Day of Light, to new interactive displays. Visitors also can ride in the A-6 Cockpit Simulator, visit the Virtual Flight Zone, and tour the inside of the world’s fastest commercial airplane, Concorde.  The Museum also hosts the annual Fleet Week celebration in honor of our military personnel. 

Item Special Note

The dinner and tour will need to be scheduled with the Intrepid event planners, on a mutually agreeable date.
