This event is great for the kids as it will give them a hands-on introduction of what it's like to be in the Navy, living on a Naval Carrier for six months, they even get to try on dive helmets and bomb suits and will be able to maneuver robots that detect bombs.

Navy Week Demonstrations are this Friday, June 5th, from 1pm - 5pm.Admission is $8 for adults, $8 for kids between age 2-17. Children under 1 free.
