USS Midway Museum

GREAT!! Really worth the time, DON'T MISS IT!! So educational , lot's of history, so much to see. Be sure to take the tour , you'll get a lot more info that way. Allow at least 2 hrs, more if you can ????

This is an awesome museum for plane enthusiasts. There are three decks on the carrier and each of them takes about an hour for a full visit. They also lend free audio guide!

Although it’s been decommissioned as an active aircraft carrier for over a decade, every once in a while I’ll still land a helicopter here.

Arrive early and plan on spending 4+ hours. Do the flight deck first before it gets too hot and crowded . Then there are 2 walking tours around the inside of the ship . Forward tour is better.

Absolutely amazing museum on a historic aircraft carrier . I have visited all five US aircraft carriers on display (Midway, Hornet, Lexington, Intrepid and Yorktown) and USS Midway is by far the best.

Have at least 5 hours to tour the whole ship and look for coupons off entrance fee also audio tour is awesome with the knowledgable vets working here make sure u thank them for serving our country

Execellent museum with lot of cool planes and very well explained internal workings of a warship. Veterans are excellent guides in explaining tons of specific things on Vietnam war and gulf war

Plan to spend here at least several hours. 1,5 us not nearly enough. Listen to the crew, they have a lot of cool stories. A must visit place.

Get there early and purchase your tickets online to jump the queue, even on your smartphone. Secondly head up to the upper decks and tours early before it gets crowded other hot, allow a whole day

At sunset what a view of the bay - great place for a party on the flight deck. Incredible history taught by men who served on the ship .

Make sure to get the kids activity booklet if you are visiting with children.

A San Diego must see. Special touch is listening & interacting with the volunteer veterans. One of the best museums I've been to.

Plan a couple hours to walk the whole ship . Very detailed descriptions of ship and life aboard. Lots to see. Many fighter models to see and touch.

Love this tourist attraction . You can just walk around and have interesting conversations with people working in the museum , as majority of them have served on this ship at some point. - Penina Mezei

Great stop if you are in San Diego. If you have kids along, make sure you find the tour designed for them. Makes it more interesting for the kids and they can earn their wings

Great museum , good value for money at $20 per adult. You could easily stretch this out to half or a full day if you speak to all the veterans and do the tours .

Make sure to talk to the guides down in the engine room - they offer plenty of cool facts about how the ship runs. If you have an iPhone 4s or 5, make sure to take a panoramic shot on the flight deck.

Worth every penny. You could spend hours here, even days if you wanted to see every single thing

Excellent facility which you to an audio self guided tour of. There are plenty of volunteers at various stages to explain the equipment and workings of the aircraft carrier .

What a great place! Would strongly recommend it for your next visit ???? Their gift shop has cool stuff that you would actually want to buy as souvenirs!

Great insight into the gargantuan machine that is the U.S. Navy. Very well put together exhibits integrated beautifully into this floating piece of history.

Such a good experience. It was amazing seeing all those air planes and going inside the aircraft carrier . I hope they do more and more museum like that. It was worth every minutes!

Free audio tour . Allow at least 1.5-2 hours to explore everything. Shorter line and $1 off if you book online ahead.

This is a great Museum . First, the ship is massive and you really get a feel about what it must be like to see it both from a distance and up close.

Giant and interesting ship to walk around and explore- the officers quarters are interesting. And great view on the top deck at night.

Spent four hours here, was very fun and educational . Just be aware if your more than 5'6" that you'll be ducking/crouching a lot.

Do not miss the Island tour . Pay attention to the names recorded on the flight boards. Awesome tour . Thanks to all who served on her and the volunteers with her now.

US Aircraft carrier tour with many things to see and do for all ages. Look for discounts online before visiting.

Great place for kids to learn about history and technology. If youre an adult, its better to have an interest in the military and military science. A special place but exhausting tour .

A fantastic and inexpensive tour of US Navy history. Not suitable for those over 6' tall -- watch your head! I bonked mine repeatedly. ;)

It´s breathtaking to see the short landingstrip and to learn something about the life as a crew member on a great ship like this!

So worth it if you have kids even you don't like this type of stuff is very interesting

Must see if you are into airplanes, history or military ????

See what was life was like on an aircraft carrier . Good audio tour and the museum is huge. Enjoy listening to veterans who would be happy to share their experience on such ships ! - Max (Switzerland)

It’s definitely worth the money to see the inside of the ship , it’s so cool!

Buy tickets online and skip the line , saving $2 too! You can enter straight into the ship and show the barcode.

If you get a chance make sure to listen to the speakers on the flight deck. Their explanations of launches and landings are exciting and easy to understand.

A must see if you're in SD. Easy to get to. Orange line or blue line get off at America Plaza stop just two blocks walk towards the waterfront . Wear comfy walking shoes

Go straight for the Island Tour (often involves a line up but well wort it), then check out the talks on take-off (bow) and landing (stern).

So many things things to see and discover... Audio tour included... Volunteers to talk with... A great museum !

Be sure to do the island tour , and listen to as many of the volunteer presentations as possible. The audio tour is good, but the volunteers are better.

Well worth a visit. Really interesting team who are mostly naval veterans. Great day and on the Go San Diego Cards

This is a GREAT family activity. Food is pricy for what you get on board. TONS to see. Got there at 10 am and didn't see everything at close. Kids loved it and so did adults. A *MUST* do!

Recommend to reserve 3-4 hrs to visit,and it's better to lend a audio tour in free which provide detail stories in many languages even in Chinese.

A great family tourist attraction that adults and kids will love. Get there early, there is so much to see and the time flies by faster than you think.

Fantastic attraction in San Diego. This is a MUST SEE. The free audio tour that comes with admission includes 60+ stops throughout the ship . Also, don't miss The Island tour .

An awful lot to see so prepare to spend several hours here. Some great talks from vets on life on the ship .

Definitely need two days to see everything. Make sure you wear sunscreen up on the flight deck.

Amazing place to visit. Brilliant experience. At least 3 to 4 hours to explore

Dont forget your walking shoes , stairs can be pretty steep. The audio tour will take you through the main highlights (English, spanish and japanese available).
