USS KIDD

The USS KIDD is a can't-miss on your visit to the Capital City, located in the heart of scenic downtown Baton Rouge. If you're looking for a unique, family-friendly and historical place to visit, the USS KIDD checks all the boxes.

Explore the decks of the USS KIDD in person, see the aircraft that soared through the skies of Southeast Asia during two eras of conflict, examine the dented helmet of an infantryman who stormed the beaches of Normandy, honor the memory of the names of fallen Americans at the Louisiana Memorial Plaza and so much more.

For the more adventurous traveler, enjoy an educational overnight stay while camping aboard the USS KIDD. You’ll gain firsthand experience of close-quarters living and learn about the courage displayed by our service members as they faced German U-boats and Japanese kamikaze aircraft.
