Hi All,
Event: Battleship Iowa Drive
When: Saturday, May 21st
Schedule:
- 8:45am Meetup at Starbucks Sunset Beach Parking Lot
- 9:30am Start Drive through PCH, 2nd Street, Downtown Long Beach, then over the Vincent Thomas Bridge
- 10:00am Arrive at Battleship Iowa Museum
- 12:00pm Lunch at San Pedro Fish Market
Details below:
As discussed at our April Brunch at Bru, we've planned a drive to the Battleship Iowa on May 21, 2016. We're looking at gathering around 8:45 AM at the Starbucks in Sunset Beach (16470 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach, CA 92649).
There's large parking lot by Starbucks that we can chat and take photos until around 9:30 am and then start our drive to the Battleship Iowa museum (Battleship USS Iowa Museum, 250 South Harbor Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90731.) According to Google maps, this drive without traffic it shows a 31 minute drive through 14 miles.
We're using our new Meetup page for the OC Tesla Club for our use and we will track this event using that method. As such, please join the group on that system and sign up for the event there.
Our advance ticket prices are heavily discounted according to the following schedule and we will also have a special parking lot that I will email to participants, so make sure we have that.
General Admission Adult - Regular Price: $19.95 - Online Club Price: $15.50
General Admission Youth - Regular Price: $11.95 - Online Club Price: $9.50
General Admission Senior - Regular Price: $16.95 - Online Club Price: $13.50
General Admission Military - Regular Price: $16.95 - Online Club Price: $13.50
Child (5 & under) FREE

Our ticket prices are for self-guided visit, the museum will also provide a tour guide for groups, for an extra $75 charge for EACH GUIDE. If folks would like to do that, please let me know by May 16 so we can get that locked up. It's recommended to have a minimum of 20 - 25 people for the guided tour and we pay for that onsite, so I'll ask those interested to bring cash for that fee. We'll tally up and let folks know if we hit the count and whether the cost is $3 or $4 per person.
I have to figure out whether we can track this under our new Meetup group RSVP system or if I'll need an email from you folks. Please bear with us as we transition to this new tool.
With a potential mix of those that might do a self-guided tour and those that may opt for a tour guide, we won't know how long the visit to the Battleship Iowa will be. The estimate for the self-guided tour is about an hour and a half.
However, if folks are interested in getting together for lunch after the visit to the museum, we're thinking of stopping off at the San Pedro Fish Market (190 Nagoya Way, San Pedro, CA 90731) (In reading the online descriptions, it looks like customers can get their own seafood, have it prepared, and then bring it out to the casual tables. Here is the menu for the restaurant)
Remember to do your RSVP on the Meetup page for the OC Tesla Club for the count and if you want to save money on the tour, purchase tickets using our link and code and send us an email to [email protected] to get the group password for the discount.
Thanks,
