Visit USS Iowa Battleship!!

All aboard the USS Iowa battleship museum for an afternoon of history, learning, patriotism, gratitude, gourmet hot dogs at Vicky's Doghouse, and of course meeting new people!

Lift anchor solo or bring the whole family!

USS Iowa is a retired United States battleship that was launched in 1943 and served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Cold War. She was decommissioned in 1990 and donated to become a public museum in 2012.

She has GUNS.... massive GUNS. Are they called guns? I don't know, but we are going to learn all about it! :-)

See the "Photos" section for more USS Iowa HISTORY.

A MAJORITY OF THE GROUP WILL TAKE THE GUIDED TOUR, so I'm thinking lunch on board, walk around a bit together and check things out & get our bearings, then the GUIDED TOUR starts at 2:30pm.

You are more than welcome to run amok on the ship and never say goodbye! Zero pressure to socially participate. :-)

Kooky Adventures prides itself on cultivating a rare & precious space for people to practice RADICAL AUTHENTICITY. Like Bart Simpson said, "We do what we feel like."

Most will hang with the group, so rest assured, you can experience this to whatever social degree youd like. I’m a big fan of hang together / wander off on my own / reconnect with the group again / rinse / repeat.

As host, I will be accessible to the group at all times, however

Kooky Adventures is a liaison between you, unique activities that usually have an educational element, and other people who are into the same unique thing. Hopefully we’ll leave you with fabulous memories, new friends, and a sense of belonging.

Parking is one hour free, $2/hr thereafter. $22/day max.

THE SUNKEN CITY:

IF WE HAVE ENERGY AFTER THE USS IOWA, WE CAN POTENTIALLY VISIT THE "SUNKEN CITY" WHICH IS 10 MINUTES AWAY. IT WAS AN AFFLUENT NEIGHBORHOOD THAT SLID INTO THE OCEAN AND THE CITY NEVER CLEANED IT UP.

APPARENTLY IT IS FULL OF COOL GRAFFITI ART AND WE MIGHT BE THERE AT SUNSET FOR SOME COOL PHOTOS. WE'LL SEE HOW WE FEEL.

We look forward to seeing you aboard the BATTLESHIP!!
