Beautiful, historical, vessel. Gift shop is Clean, well stocked with items you can purchase as a lasting reminder of your tour of the ship. Kind, friendly staff through out! The new building is very classy and situated with vast views of the ship and the Majestic Ohio River. Outside decks offer greater views in good weather! Keep it up. Great asset to out growing downtown!

Excellent place to see a historic WWII vehicle. Tour guide was exceptional and being on the same deck as our sailors and soldiers were on was a great opportunity we were thankful for getting to experience. Definitely worth it.

Wonderful visit. The guide was knowledgeable and fun. I learned a great deal.

First, I must offer a disclaimer because I now Volunteer here... But, my appreciation for all this Vessel represents grows each and every moment I share with her and everyone else I interact with aboard. Be they visitors or currently Members of the Memorial, everyone has contributed so very much to not only myself, but the collective Soul of the Ship which is why she is so Important not only to me, but everyone else that cherishes the precious Freedom we often take for granted.

Awesome piece of Naval history. Highly recommended!

We had an absolute blast with our kids! This was a amazing tour hosted by a Amazing Tour Guide ! Collin Walters was an absolute blast very funny, interesting info, and very great with the kids! I highly recommend this place and Him as ur tour guide️️ Thank you for a amazing experience!

We are on vacation from Nashville Tn so this a legit last minute visit tour. I’ve never been active in any military service and frankly know noting about it. However this was very informative tour. Our tour guide Paul midle (hope that’s correct) was so cool. He let my 6 year old son help with the tour. It really put a smile on his face.If you haven’t been, just go. Really worth it. Just bring water because it’s warm in the summer months.

Very neat experience! The ship is well taken care of and the tour is very informative. I do wish we could have seen the engine bay and a couple other mechanical areas but all in all a great time!

Loved the history and tour of this Naval ShipThank you to all our military for your service.

An hour long tour well worth the $15 entry fee! I highly recommend this tour for any Nd everyone!

Interesting and informative! The staff is excellent!Overall, very well preserved historical artifact!Definitely worth a visit.

Visiting the LST was a great time, and truly fascinating. According to our tour guide, this is the last operational vessel that was part of D-Day-- the sense of real history you get on the tour is tremendous, aided by people who have invested a lot of time and energy in maintaining the ship. That being said, keep in mind that this is a real naval vessel, and it was not built to accomodate persons with difficulty navigating steep stairs, tight spaces, narrow hallways, etc. In summer, the deck gets very hot, and passageways can be like little ovens-- keep this in mind for young kids, older folks, or anyone who may have difficulty in such an environment.

The last known working WWII version LST ships. The tour was given by a WWII navy veteran which was amazing. The ship is active and I went on a working day so it was cool to see the volunteers working on the ship. The tour was a little over an hour and took you all around the ship.

I would have never guessed a ship that stormed Normandy would be here in Indiana. Great tour from someone well versed in the story of the ship. Beautifully restored areas of the ship. Of course it is an old war ship, so be sure to wear decent shoes and it could rather warm or cold on the tour. Best thing is it still works!

We had a very knowledgeable tour guide. I highly recommend visiting. Worth the trip.

A working memorial of WW ll. LST 325 has a rich history and has many stories to tell.Watch the movie in the visitor center before taking the tour for the best experience. Tours last about an hour an usually start on the hour. Ten dollars a ticket, vets get discount.Large parking lot onsite and shared with bar and grill if you want to have lunch and watch the river roll by..

Wonderful historic highly recommend. The tour guide awesome

Great history. Love the history of this boat.

Hearing the tour guide is a little hard in lots areas because of having to wear masks but had really good information and interesting stories

It was sooo hot but sooo worth it! Great tour guide and awesome war ship!!

Very interesting tour. Well worth the money!!!

Great tour, tour guide very knowledgeable about the history.

Its a great tour with a knowledgeable young woman Paige as our tour guide.

Excellent, everyone should visit. This is historic and telling of what World War 2 was like. The tour is an hour, the tour guide was great. Wonderful experience!

The people where very knowledgeable about the boat.

My daughter and I visited here as part of a short vacation, and really enjoyed ourselves. The tour guide was fantastic, especially considering how hot it was outside.

I love learning hands on about our history.

Was very educational. Nephew is 11 and really liked it. Glad we did the Evansville war time museum first. It added some extra knowledge and appreciation, like the champagne bottle and silver bowl.

Although I was in the USAF and really enjoy Wright Patterson this was very special for me. I was in Viet Nam but cant seem to get enough WWII information. I bought a LST325 t-shirt and wear î proudly with my USAF hat. If you have a chance to your LST 325 please do, youll never forget.

Very interesting tour of a unique type of ship.

Very COOL! Stumbled across this ship museum on one of our trips, and sure​ glad we did. Amazing history and inspiring story of this ships journey back to the U.S.

Extremely worthwhile. Very interesting and informative.

Tour took about an hour. We had Joshua as a guide. He really knows his WWII history and the history and function of the ship.

A great step back to the history of out armed forces. My father was in the army and a part of the Normandy invasion as was this boat. It was very special tour for me to visit something from his life. A special thanks to the volunteers who conduct the tours as well as keeping the boat in condition

The lst is a beautiful old girl and I enjoy my yearly visits for the armed forces cross band test, if you get a chance you must take a tour

Tour guide was fantastic! Very cool experience!

Interesting piece of history.

It was wonderful to see this old girl moored in my hometown again. As a working professional Mariner it was my honor and privilege to serve as a volunteer pilot on many of her inland voyages. The comradeship and dedication of her all volunteer crew is amazing. Their commitment durning work week is astonishing. In my 42 year maritime career i have never seen such attention to detail as this crew including the ladies have. She looked splendid! Thanks

Who’s there please call aunt Rhonda

Very unique museum to appreciate what these vessels accomplished. It is especially great thats the only one still operating is in the world is in my home state of Indiana!

Tours start on the hour. A very interesting way to spend an hour. Great history lesson.

Im so glad to have discovered this ship, the only one of its kind still in existence. The tour costs ten dollars and lasts a little more than an hour. The tour guide did a great job and was very knowledgeable.

I regularly visit WWII ships anytime a city in which I am visiting has one on display. While certainly not the most impressive ship onto which I have ever boarded, the tour guide made the visit most interesting by pointing out many items of interest that one wouldnt see on a self-guided tour. I knew very little about LST ships upon arriving and left with a full understanding of the functionality and history of these craft

Great piece of history in Evansville. Our guide Mr. Lucke was really good. Tour was around a hour and my 2 young boys enjoyed it. Appreciate what these volunteers do to preserve this piece of history. This is a must do if your visiting Evansville and like naval history.

This place was totally amazing we got to go inside the ship and learn about it. If you havent been I would go

This ship was so cool. Tour

Great piece of floating history. Lots of great volunteers. Each year on Veterans Day the crew puts on a breakfast for all former service members. I have been privileged to be part of that program for the past two years. It is always well attended, and is usually attended by local dignitaries and state politicians.

I took my family to the LST when it was parked in Downtown Evansville for the D-Day Event. Everyone was friendly, and very informative. It was very interesting to see how things were for the sailors back then. I will be going back when it is moved to downtown Evansville at its new dock.

Really neat. Great tour and bite of WWII history

Fun about hour long tour! Our tour guide was really nice. Seeing all the old memorabilia from where the ship was once commissioned was amazing.

A very informative tour. Our guide was great! Be sure you are able to walk narrow steps.

Very well done by volunteers, and vets that actually served on the ship! The tours are very informative, sometimes you get some sneak peeks at rooms that are not usually on tours. The guides are very knowledgeable and encourage questions. I will forever go on tours here.

Very important piece of history. Everyone should see this.

Im a Navy vet and the guided tour through the ship was very educational. Loved it. Only thing that was a negative, was that it was very hot inside. I suggest to go in the fall.

These guys care and they do a great job. Pick their brains and they divulge really cool information that might not be part of the every day tour.

Very interesting tour of this vessel. Guide was very knowledgeable and articulate. The history of this ship was worth the time and money. A must see destination when you are in the area.

Incredible tribute to the Greatest Generation. Dont miss this.

Great tour guides! Lots of history. They were made in Evansville. Worth a visit

A very cool site to see and has lots of history

Went while it was in Chattanooga great tour and cost effective. Take time with family and go show this part of history.

This was a great place to visit especially if you live in Evansville. I am so glad we have the LST in Evansville Indiana. Current generations can see what our city contributed to the World War II effort in this great country in which we live! So much of this history is lost on the younger generations as WW II vets pass away. Evansville was the largest industrial contributor per capita in the U.S.

Enjoyed the tour! My dad served on an LST in the Pacific during WWII, that had been built in Evansville. My father-in-law had worked at the LST factory in Evansville - this was a meaningful trip for us.

A good deal of walking, small spaces and stairs. Not accessible (yet?) for wheelchair users or other people of limited mobility. Last time I was there they were still sorting out the entrance area and had porta-potties for restrooms.Try to go when its not very busy and the weather isnt bad or you might be waiting in line at times during the tour, sometimes in awkward places like stairs, humid hallways or sunny spots on the deck.Theyve done a great job of restoring it and theres a lot of history to it. Its nice to see a piece of history taken care of in such a way.

Fully operational museum ship in its WWII configuration. State of the art in its day.

As someone who is somewhat interested in history such as WWII, I found this a rare and extremely immersive experience. Even if you are not very familiar with WWII, the LST is a great place to get a comprehensive and insightful view of what World War II was really like.

Its a pc of fully functional history.

Great display of a working ship from WW II Excellent guided tour

My father served In the US Navy for 20 years as a Hospital Corpsman. His last sea duty was aboard the LST Cayuga. It was an honor to tour this ship with my sons and my girlfriend. Charlie did an outstanding job as a guide. The history of the honorable service performed by this vessel and her crew is well worth the experience.

Beautifully kept ship. My 7ncle served on one and this gave me a better appreciation of the service he performed.

Nothing better than to visit and view an awesome piece of history! So many stories this ship could tell you!

Went on the 4th of July. Hot as H**** but definitely worth it

Great place to visit. Tons of history to explore!

Great for kids right on The Ohio river restaurant and multiple bars on promises.

I love it

Awesome experience to tour this ship.Through the tour guide, being able to better understand what the crew of young men went through, daily living and working on the ship during war time.We cannot be the country we are without the sacrifices of our military.Thank GOD for their service.

We are lucky to have the tour of USS 325 with very expert guide. They open only Saturday between 10:00 & 4:00pm. The fee is $10.00 per person.

Very interesting and the information was good. Was explained very good so your imagination could do the rest. Yes I would go again and I wish the schools would use this as a teaching tool.

Tour was very interesting and the ship still sails the Ohio River occasionally....and looking for volunteer crew mates!

Place of great history. The only reason for 4 stars is that if you are in the back of the tour line, you will hear nothing the tour guide says.

The only Navy WW-II Landing Ship Tank that is operational, open for tours. Living History,the ship was @ Day Landings in France. Every year it visits U.S. along inland rivers to share history. Impressive worth touring. I am Retired USAF volunteer aboard the ship.

Visited LST 325 while she was docked in Pittsburgh over the Labor Day weekend (2015). She is in superb condition and the tour was a delight. The staff/crew were more than eager to explain anything and take the time with you to share details. The vessel does not have air conditioning (except in Officers Country) but they had plenty of floor fans moving the air around in other parts of the ship. There was a nice gift shop with souvenirs and books set up in the main hold forward. Definitely a GREAT tour which will take you about 35 minutes minimum. Highly recommend!

Very cool to see and tour. A must stop for anyone into history or the military.

A must see tour if you are in the area. As the last WWII LST and such an important ship class for amphibious landings, this ship is near the top of my list of ships I have visited. The ship is in good order and the staff was exceptionally knowledgeable and gave a solid tour. Tour cost was nominal and free for active duty personnel. Two thumbs up from this retired sailor.

A great price of history, and a hidden gem of Evansville. Tours of this working vessel are guided and last roughly an hour. You learn a lot about these ships and what their crews and our troops experienced during WWII. Tours run on the hour, and the last of the day runs at 3 pm.

Nice place to go

This deserves 10 stars! Got to visit this on Labor Day in Nashville. What a treat and an honor. Its amazing to get such a real, up close and personal experience like this. The incredible gentlemen that host this tour are amazing. So polite, attentive, respectful, kind, informative... Ill be here for days describing them. They are SO knowledgeable of this ship and stories about it. They take the time to explain things clearly. No question is too dumb. Never felt rushed. My kids loved it too, ages 9-19. No documentary could provide such a personal experience, especially from such a humble, witty and serving group of men like these!! Excellent time!! Gives you goosebumps when you realize you are walking on and actually visiting history! Thankful for our servicemen!

Ita great to learn about the history of places and great machines of war, the tour is guided due to the fact that its still an operational vessel which is good and bad you kinda feel rushed not a lot of time to take in the sights or stories

Awesome tour with guides who are interesting and dedicated to it.

Wonderful piece of history so close to home!

I would suggest to consider purchasing the items available there especially water because it does get hot inside the ship during the tour. I thank the crew for the excellent service.

Saw it in Mobile, Alabama now in Indiana. Truly Amazing.

Really cool and staff know their stuff

Had an amazing tour this weekend with our tour guide, Sarge! My father served on LST 391 in the Korean War and am so grateful he was able to visit this lovingly refinished LST run by an all volunteer crew. The tour is very information and interesting. LST 325 is a jewel in Evansville and a beautiful piece of american history.

Loved seeing a part of history

Our trip to the LST was great. It was more than we bargained for. What a great piece of history, and right here in our back yard. Go see it but dress cool in the summer time.

Really cool, friendly staff awesome to see

The ship is well preserved. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and very entertaining. I would highly reccomend this for everyone.

Fun and Historical

I had a blast seeing the USS LST-325 Battle ship. It reminds of the storys my grandpa would tell me when I was little. ALSO I wear a knee brace and a ankle brace that doing the stairs was so hard. 3 of the men that worked on the ship took time to help me, just to make sure I would not fall. Also we had just rained so the deck was very wet, and a gentlemen gave me his arm to help me. I wish it was time for them to come back again. I am going again and taken my kids and my grand kids too.

My family and I recently toured this magnificent ship while it was docked in Dubuque, Iowa; and it was well worth the 45 minute wait in the rain. Visitors are allowed to tour the whole vessel, and learn about the ship, World War II, and much more. I highly recomend this tour!
