Looking For a Great Family Activity This Summer?

Why not tour the submarine, USS Albacore in Portsmouth? You may have seen it as you're coming off of 95 on your way in to downtown Portsmouth. Maybe you asked, "what is that thing?" Well, the website says that the submarine was used for secret testing of high speed operations that are used in submarines today and you can go inside and take a look!

The Submarine is Educational

You and your kids will love it. You'll be able to look through the periscope, check out the control room, bedrooms, (which are teeeeny weeeeny!) and hear the crew members tell stories about what happened when they were out at sea. If that doesn't sound cool, I don't know what does.
