USS Midway Museum

MUSEUM HOURS 10:00 - 17:00 (LAST ENTRY AT 16:00)The USS Midway was the US Navy's longest serving carrier of the 20th century (1945-1992), and the largest ship in the world for a decade, housing 4,500 crew! Now you can walk in the footsteps of 225,000 sailors on a self-guided audio tour narrated by former Midway sailors and officers. USS Midway also contains interactive exhibits and climb-aboard aircraft for all ages. Don't miss the flight simulators, gift shop and cafe. Experience what it was like to be part of a "city at sea", explore galleys, officer's country, sleeping quarters and the engine room of the first Navy ship too large for the Panama Canal! You will be amazed by the 4-acre flight deck and the 360-degree panoramic view of downtown San Diego.

    The Midway is a must see attraction. Plan on a minimum of 2-3 hours. We aren’t lingerers and we didn’t use the free audio tour to the extent that others did, but the ship is vast with many levels so it takes quite a while to see most of it.

    The USS Midway was packed full of information. Allow yourself a good 4 to 5 hours to tour everything. Everything was clean and well maintained. There is hand sanitizer everywhere which I appreciated. The volunteers are super friendly and will help with any questions you have

  • Exceptional American History Tour.

    Massive ship, plenty of docents to assist with questions, several areas of brief speeches, videos explaining particular functions of the ship. Well worth the time we spent. Probably could have stayed all day.
