Overall excellent experience! Easy parking, friendly staff and very knowledgeable Docent group. Exhibits were informative and restored aircraft are a must see. The 4 acre flight deck is packed with much to see and offers great local views.

We learned so much visiting this former aircraft carrier. We didn’t know there were so many different types of helicopters. We now know we would not want to be an enlisted sailor, living in cramped quarters. The most interesting aspects were the talks by former Navy pilots about taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier. We didn’t know how dangerous it was, both for the pilot and the crew on deck. Plan 2.5-3 hours.

This was an amazing experience. I'll admit my teen didn't care for it much, but adults will likely get more out of it. Seeing how people on the carrier lived and worked is humbling, and we enjoyed the free audio tour facts as well. The workers/volunteers aboard were so knowledgeable and friendly. Word of warning: You could easily spend all day here if this is your thing. I don't know how you could tour this in just a couple of hours. I like to read all the information provided and get background knowledge from the people there.....so 5 hours went by in a flash.

If you are a military enthusiast or a patriot this is an essential stop in San Diego. It makes other decent museum ships look very average. They have done excellent work on this and it is run very well. Foreign active service military get in free which is very much appreciated as some US attractions reject allied service personnel. A wonderful place.

This was an interesting experience. Very informative and neat to see what life was like on an aircraft carrier. I would come back to visit again. One item to note, can be hard for a service dog to get up and down some of the stairs/steps.

Made the reservations,for the movie Top Gun Maverick on the flight deck of the USS Midway in May. The Que they use for ticket purchasing is great,t . The event was well organized, the pre purchased (ordered) food was great and the bar setups were expertly done. It was well worth going to see even though we had already seen the movie twice. We will try to attend more events and movies on that ship whenever possible.

We had a fantastic time on the USS Midway today! Docent Tom was our guide, and he made our visit even more special! (thank you Tom!!)! He was so unbelievably knowledgeable and exciting to listen to and learn from! Truly a unique and special experience, and in my opinion, the best thing to do in San Diego!

We had a great few hours on the USS Midway. Entrance fee was really reasonable and free for military personnel and retirees. They have done an excellent job on making this huge ship a floating museum to educate people of all ages. There is a short film you can watch on the Midway battle and the sailors. Everything is realistic and there are also fantastic static aircrafts on display including one you can sit in. Tours below deck re are an eye opener to see the conditions the crew had. There is so much to see as you walk through, definitely worth a visit when in San Diego.

This is a must see if you are navy/history fan. Self guided tour included being able to see the entire ship. Naval aviators on hand to explain ship operations. Met a WW2 veteran who was on the ship and gave us a lot of history. Go early and buy tickets online.

The USS Midway Museum located in San Diego California is a must see when visiting San Diego! The ship is enormous and features self guided tours throughout all the below decks and an amazing upper deck where military planes landed and launched from! They have a great collection of full size aircraft at the Midway as well as a theatre and flite simulatirs to experience!The staff at The Midway Museum is first rate,knowledgeable and so helpful! There is an incredible gift store and the cafe has superb snacks,meals and beverages! They have a very convenient parking lot that is open 24 hours and is just $25.00 so you can park there visit the Midway and other downtown San Diego locations! The Museum is open 7 days a week from 10 AM-5PM. We loved this experience and highly recommend a visit! . . . . #ussmidwaymuseum #sandiego #navy #marines #family #ilovesandiego #navalaviation #battleships #seetheusa #seesandiego #museums #topgun #mustsee #visitsandiego #godisgood
