If you have taken a Battleship Texas Dry Dock Tour before, you qualify for a discount if you choose to take the tour again. Please email tours@battleshiptexas.org with your previous tour date and time along with the tour date/time you wish to take. We look forward to seeing you again!

Tickets cannot be refunded, but you will be able to reschedule if necessary. Tickets can be transferred to other individuals.

Tours are conducted rain or shine. In the case that a tour must be canceled due to foul weather, all participants will be rescheduled to a later date that works best for them.

Tours are conducted in an active shipyard making it difficult to make some accommodations. There are no ramps available for mobility scooters or wheelchairs. Participants must be able to walk one mile and stand for up to two hours. We are happy to help those in need, but there are limitations due to the environment the ship is currently in.
