Nowadays it can get pretty expensive for a family to enjoy a day in the city; at some attractions, you'll fork out $20+ just for parking. Fortunately for you, cars, buses, and RVs enjoy free parking at Battleship Cove all year long!*

So drive on down to catch some sun as you enjoy sweeping views of the activity on Massachusetts' second-deepest port. Stroll down the Heritage State Park boardwalk, or enjoy a day-sail through Upper Mount Hope Bay. Shop for nautical gifts at the Battleship Cove Gift Shop, or stop for a snack at the Fall River Carousel. All these pleasures await you today at Battleship Cove.

During FRCA, Battleship Cove patrons are instructed to utilize the museum's Crab Pond Parking Lot, located just a short walk away on Water Street beyond the Marine Museum at Fall River. During FRCA, Crab Pond parking is free to museum patrons during our regular operating hours.

VICTORY AT SEA: DiMaggio. Cronkite. Waterston. The names of Victory at Sea VIPs ring out like a Who's Who list in American culture. Combining two days of America's Cup yacht racing with fine dining and an auction on the USS Massachusetts' fantail, this popular charity regatta has become "one of the most prestigious events on the Eastern Seaboard" (celebrity satirist Dick Flavin).

While it's true Victory at Sea is open to everyone, you should remember that Battleship Cove Members get first crack at subscription. Don't let events like Victory at Sea sell out before you have a chance to enroll. Enlist and get on our Membership mailing list today.
