Free for national park holders. Not all the ships are available for viewing. Out of the 6 I think there's only 3 that you can visit or see. Needs funding for restoration for some of the ships.

Nice area with a bunch of historic ships. It is located across the street from the National Park Visitor Center. There is a fee to get in, but if you have a National Park Pass you can get in for free. You can walk aboard the ships and explore them. The larger ships have some exhibits that will tell you their history and their historic significance. The area is less crowded than Fisherman’s Wharf and Aquatic Park. It’s a nice place to get away from the those crowds. It also has some wonderful views of the bay.

National Park fee area. Passes accepted. Well worth spending one to three hours to explore the ships, especially the tall sail ships.

Six historic ships are docked here. You can board some of them and walk around. There are also parts of ships and information stands. A ticket is $15 and valid for a whole week. It's kind of interesting, but many of the ships were closed, because there weren't enough people volunteering.

Interesting place, but most of the crafts were closed to entry.
There were 2 ships you could board, but access to a number of areas were blocked off.
They don't take cash so you have to buy tickets by card.

Such a fun experience. Definitely recommend! Some of the boats were under construction but we were still able to peak inside.

Nice park 👏 We were walking to Ghirardelli Square and stopped in to check it out. Very cool, and run by National Parks, so we also got our National passport book stamped here. Right on the water and with big old time ships to board and check out. Interactive exhibits and history everywhere. Worth checking out.

It is place for at least a day. First you can spend few hours climbing around historic ships. Admission fee is 10 dollars, kids are free. Then there is a small but nice Maritime museum. In the building of Acuanavt hotel, there is amazing visitor center, giving you nice overview how shipping was develop there. Entrance is free. Then you either can walk to the Fisherman Harbor or take a Cable car- small train driving you through the down town
