Special advanced tickets are available to the general public at a $2 per ticket discount, adults $18 ($16 with discount), youth $10 ($8 with discount) and seniors $15 ($13 with discount.)

The Ship’s Store in partnership with Soldier’s Angels, a volunteer-led non- profit organization, are aiding and supporting the brave men and women of the military and their families. Special tote bags are available for $15 to donate for use with care packages for troops and various veteran programs. Available Memorial weekend American flags that have been flown on the Battleship IOWA can be purchased for $25 and donated to Soldier’s Angels.
