Timeline

  1. 16:19

    Freedom Park

    Walk from the USS Marlin through the 6-minute path to Freedom Park. This outdoor park and museum offers unobstructed views of the river. Settle in on the bank of the Missouri River to watch the day end.

  2. 17:19

    Freedom Park

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The sky will turn gold and then fade into twilight over the water. Stay for the quiet moments after the sun disappears.

  3. 18:04

    USS Marlin

    Head back to the USS Marlin as night falls. The historic T-1-class training submarine is illuminated after dark. Walk the short distance from Freedom Park to explore the vessel that was one of the smallest operational submarines ever built for the U.S. Navy.

Local tip

The park is open to the public, but check if the museum exhibits have specific closing times if you plan to go inside. The walk between the park and the submarine is short and easy.

Check before you go

  • Freedom Park is an outdoor space with no set closing time, but the museum exhibits within it may have evening hours. Check the specific opening hours for the museum portion if you want to enter the buildings.
