Tips
This is great place to visit for history buffs and a fun day for the kids as they get a little Texas history lesson. Seeing the early 20th century battleship is a must, especially since it's one of the only ones left in the world. Just cross the way is the San Jacinto Battleground and the monument.
Know Before You Go:
The battleship is closed to the public Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
