USS Intrepid Winter Festival

The magnificent aircraft carrier and museum, the USS Intrepid, is back home in its Westside port after a sensational two-year makeover. The World War II-era carrier is packed with historical artifacts and interactive exhibits, plus 30 aircraft, including the Concorde, a dizzying flight simulator and XD theater. They are hosting a Winter Celebration Weekend, December 13-14, featuring Holiday workshops, seasonal activity stations, Dickensian carolers and much more.
