USS Midway Museum

The USS Midway is a retired aircraft carrier now serving as a museum on San Diego’s waterfront. During its 47 years of operation—including a decade as the largest ship ever commissioned—the Midway had around 225,000 sailors serve above and below its decks. Today, visitors can follow in the shoes of sailors and pilots and experience life aboard this city at sea.

  • Eye Catcher: WWII planes on the hangar deck, including the SBD Dauntless dive bomber
  • Below Deck: galley, sick bay, engine room and everything else that kept the floating city operational
  • Museum Guides: docents providing first-hand accounts of life at sea, or an included audio tour narrated by Midway sailors, available in 6 languages

  • Hands-On Activities: full-motion flight simulators (extra charge); climb-aboard cockpits; knot-tying demonstrations
  • Pro Tip: It takes a while to see everything in the museum; most visitors spend three–four hours aboard the carrier

All the volunteer docents were knowledgeable and willing to answer any and all questions. There is a lot (!!!) of information to absorb, do allow ample time to see exhibits, talk to the docents and see as much as you want to see.

Tickets instantly on the app. Viewable once for selected date. Skip the line, scanned, and enter! The museum was incredible. It had lots of things to see, multiple cabins to tour, and additional simulated rides available. There are souvenir shop, cafe, and drink machines. Restrooms and facilities were very clean. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. I would highly recommend to friends and family to check this place out.
