Awesome park, highly recommend coming here. On the outside where you park there are Vietnam, Korea, and 9/11 memorials, several aircraft including a B52, and a side road that loops around with some tanks. Lots of details and plaques offering some interesting backstory and history on each individual item. Inside the park, the Battleship tour is self-guided, giving you the freedom to wander around as you wish and not lose track since you get a pamphlet that walks you though the tour routes through the ship. I'd recommend doing the yellow tour (ship exterior) before the red/green (interior) tours since the interior is fairly well air conditioned and gives you an opportunity to cool down after checking out the exterior. Check the pamphlet if you're wandering because if you're not paying attention you can miss some neat little areas on the ship. Then take a short walk to the Aircraft Pavilion and check out the planes and continue through to the USS Drum. Plan to spend a good 4+ hours to enjoy the park in full.
