Upper Manhattanites Can Visit The Intrepid For Free This Weekend

UPPER MANHATTAN, NY — Washington Heights and Inwood residents can visit the Intrepid Museum this weekend for free, thanks to a special offer inspired by the new "In The Heights" film.

Any residents with a photo ID showing they live in the 10031, 10032, 10033, 10034, or 10040 ZIP codes can get into the American military and maritime history museum at Pier 86 near West 46th Street for free through Sunday.

You can get four free tickets per identification.

To put the deal in perspective, four tickets with two adults and two kids would usually cost $114.

The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, with the last entry taking place at 4 p.m.

The Intrepid Museum was founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, which is now a National Historic Landmark. The museum has 28 authentically restored aircraft on display, including the world's fastest jets and guided-missile submarines.

"The mission of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is to promote the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through its collections, exhibitions, and programming in order to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire our youth," reads an About section on the Intrepid's website.
