Make sure to download the podcast before going down into the ship. The sub was in the best condition I've seen. The self guided tour was very informative and detailed, allowing you to get close to so much that other tours have behind plexiglass. Detailed information. I was alone on the boat and it took about an hour to 45 mins to go through. Yes, it's worth the $25.

The USS Pampanito is moored at Pier 45 in the Fisherman's Wharf area of San Francisco. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore a US submarine that saw combat in World War Two. The Baleo-class sub is open for visitors to explore the torpedo room, the bridge, the engine room and the crews quarters among others. There are some exhibits on the pier, as well. Highly recommended for military history buffs!

The audio tour was really good and gave great information. Just wish there was more to see on the Submarine. Still loved to see it though!

If you’ve never been inside a submarine, this is definitely a must-see. It wasn’t very crowded when we visited, which made it easy to explore everything up close. The sub was floating on the water, and the gentle rolling sensation was surprisingly nice—it added to the feeling of what life on board must be like.It’s a real gem and gives you an unforgettable sense of what it must feel like to be locked inside a tiny metal can for months. It’s both fascinating and incredibly claustrophobic—the smal

Really cool experience to see a real submarine from inside. You are able to see basically the whole thing, from torpedos to the sleeping area of the soldiers. It's a really confined place, so if you aren't able to navigate in narrow places, don't go! In my opinion the ticket prices are too high.
