The USS Requin is open to walk through for as good of an experience that you need to imagine what it must have been like for our Veterans. It takes someone special to serve our country and to be in a…Full review by TheHappyWanderer58

This would be a neat experience for younger generations. It's a quick troll inside that barely gives you time to read, but the experience of what a submarine was/is like is worth it. Full review by PILO1926
Does self-directed tour mean we could linger throughout the Requin with no time limit? I served aboard the SS416 USS Tiru which has been decommissioned July1975, used for torpedo practice and sunk July1979. It launched 16SEP1947 as a Balao class, completed as GUPPY II then upgraded to GUPPY III in 1959. Thank you in advance, hub0316
A:
Yes, you can stay as long as you like. Go by sometime when it’s not too crowded so that you can admire the ship with minimal distractions.
I am gong to Pittsburgh on Oct 12 - 14. I specifically want to see the USS Requin, as the kind of centerpiece of my visit. I see that the science museum is closed during the week ( can't find the reason why) but am hoping that the sub is open for tours. I cannot specifically see any info on the sub itself. Does anybody know? If the worst case scenario bears out and I can't visit the sub, is a walk by interesting enough and a good photo op? And is there parking handy? I will be staying at the William Penn, are there any good activities that can be enjoyed on those days? Sorry - lots of Qs.
A:
I think your best bet would be to call the Science Museum directly. just walking by the Requin would be a good photo op but hopefully you can get inside for better photos.
Where is the best place to park if you are planning to visit the USS Requin, but not the museum?
A:
Thank You all for your helpful answers! I can hardly wait to take my 9 year old boy into the sub! We toured a battleship last year and it was a big hit, so he is very excited about this:)
