 Ghost Ship Barry
Step aboard the USS Barry at the Navy Yard, transformed into Ghost Ship Barry on Friday, October 30th and prepare to be spooked! Small children (up until 8-10 years old) can venture throughout the less scary ship between 6 and 7:30 pm. At 7:30, almost all lights will be turned off on the ship and more ghosts will fill the passageways for adults and those over 10 years old. Entrance is through the 6th and M Street Navy Yard gate and parking is next to the ship. No costumes, skirts, masks, capes or high heels due to the tight passages and narrow stairwells. There will be a "happy room" with crafts and candy for children who do not wish to tour the Ghost Ship. Ghost Ship Barry is free and open to the public, however, please sign up at 202.433.6826.
