About this tour

Step behind the scenes of a historic U.S. Navy battleship and discover the machinery that powered life at sea.

Examine original equipment and hear stories about the crew members who operated these complex systems under pressure. This guided experience offers a closer look at the ship’s engineering and the work that kept it moving. The Iowa Engineering Tour begins with a welcome and safety briefing on the main deck before you explore the ship’s engineering spaces. Allow 270 minutes for the experience. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness; it is not recommended for guests with spinal injuries, those who are pregnant, or travelers with poor cardiovascular health.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 34% in Los Angeles means it ranks in the top 34% of tours in Los Angeles by this score.
