To access USS Constitution, visitors must enter via a security checkpoint at the Navy Yard Visitor Center. Photo ID is required for individuals age 18 and older for access. This is for added security for USS Constitution, an active navy ship. For more information, please see USS Constitution's Hours and Visitor Info page.
