Great family fun! Lots of history
Very interesting place to visit.
Even though the battleship is no longer here there is a great amount of history and things to see.
The trip to the top of the tower is over 500 feet and you get a fantastic view for miles.
It is motorhome accessible, fairly easy parking,
They do nickel and dime you, but EVERY Texan should visit this place!
Real part of texas history there is a battleship you can also visit but the trip up the monument is not to miss because of the view and explainations of how it happened!!
