"We have designed this specifically so visitors and students can get as up-close and personal to [space shuttle Enterprise] as possible," Intrepid's president Susan Marenoff-Zausner said. "You can get so close to her nose, it is really incredible."

Most of Enterprise's flight deck instruments were stripped out decades ago, but as seen through a window, some of the switch panels are still installed. Visitors cannot enter the shuttle, though conservators do have access to the closed crew cabin and payload bay.
