USS MIDWAY MUSEUM

Enjoy a memorable visit to the USS Midway Museum when you're in San Diego. Skip the line when visiting the longest serving Aircraft Carrier in the American fleet.

Take a step back in time and experience life aboard the USS Midway, one of the longest-serving U.S. aircraft carriers. The USS Midway Museum offers a unique opportunity to explore a piece of naval history through restored aircraft, hands-on exhibits, and real stories from those who served on the ship. With a self-guided audio tour, interesting talks, and plenty of interactive experiences, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Explore the ship and its history Start your adventure with a self-guided audio tour that will lead you through over 60 locations across the USS Midway. Narrated by former sailors and aviators, the tour shares what it was like to live and work on the ship. From the flight deck, where you’ll find more than 30 restored aircraft, to the hangar deck with its exhibits on naval aviation, there’s plenty to see. Along the way, you’ll get a sense of what daily life was like for the thousands of sailors who served aboard this ship and the critical missions it supported. Hands-on activities and stories from veterans Beyond the audio tour, the USS Midway Museum offers hands-on exhibits that let you get up close to the action. Try sitting in the cockpit of a fighter jet or challenge yourself with a flight simulator that lets you experience what it’s like to land on an aircraft carrier. Throughout the ship, Midway Volunteers—many of whom served on the carrier—are available to share their experiences and give you deeper insight into the ship’s operations. Their stories help you connect with the history and understand what it took to serve on the USS Midway during its active years.
