Is there a space for my students to eat lunch?
Your class may eat lunch in our picnic table area adjacent to public parking. First come first served. Lunches should remain on the buses.

Where do buses park?
Buses enter bus parking by bypassing the main entrance to Patriots Point and continuing along Patriots Point Drive towards the Harbor Resort and Marina. At the roundabout make your first right and continue until the stop sign. At the stop sign turn right, the Vietnam Support Base exhibit will be on your left as you enter straight into the employee and bus parking lot.

Where do chaperones park?
Chaperones must park in the public parking lot by entering the main entrance into Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum. The parking fee is $5.00 per vehicle.

How long does the structured program last?
The History Science Program lasts approximately 2 hours and commences immediately at the scheduled arrival/program time.

What are the logistics once my school arrives and the buses park?
A Patriots Point staff member will greet your group in the parking lot upon arrival. We ask that you line your students up divided by class once exiting the buses.

Do chaperones or the lead teacher need to go to the main ticket window?
No. Any balances, payment or procurement of tickets will be handled by staff upon arrival.

What else is there to do on the property?
Your entry into Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum also includes the ability to explore the USS Laffey, the USS Clamagore and the Vietnam Support Base in your free time. Scavenger Hunts are available for purchase through sales.
