Spend The Night In Submarine Located In Wisconsin

When I was a little boy, I really liked submarines. I always wanted to take a ride in one. I was trying to remember why but I guess it was because they could go underwater. Plus, the subs could shoot missiles at its enemies.

I never got that ride on a real submarine. I did go inside the U505 sub at the Museum of Science and Industry. That was pretty cool. I rode in a tourist one in the Cayman Islands but it didn't go completely underwater. There was also the 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Ride at Disneyland but of course, that wasn't real.

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Milwaukee is offering a unique submarine experience this summer. Though it isn't a ride underwater, it is still a really cool opportunity. I think I'll add it to my bucket list.

You can spend the night on a real World War II submarine. It's the USS Cobia. It's the best-preserved sub from that era in the whole United States. You can even bring the whole family. There are 65 different places to sleep aboard the ship. Don't worry, it has been fully restored and even has air conditioning.

They offer two different types of stays. There is a youth program. You can also rent it out like an Airbnb. Could you imagine grabbing a bunch of friends and family and spending the night? That would be so much fun.
