USS Midway Museum Skip-the-Line Tickets

About this experience

USS Midway Museum Skip-the-Line Tickets The USS Midway Museum offers you the chance to explore America's longest-serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century. This floating museum served the US Navy for 47 years before finding its permanent home in San Diego Bay. Your skip-the-line tickets grant immediate access to over 60 restored areas across this massive ship, from the engine room and crew quarters to the flight control tower. The included self-guided audio tour features real stories from former sailors and aviators who lived and worked aboard the Midway. You will discover what daily life was like on this floating city during major conflicts including the Gulf War. The audio guide is available in multiple languages and takes you through authentic operational spaces that have been carefully restored to show how the ship functioned during active service. Highlights Over 30 meticulously restored aircraft and helicopters on the flight deck, from propeller-driven warbirds to supersonic jets Interactive flight simulators where you can attempt manual aircraft landings Authentic crew quarters, engine room, and communications centre restored to original condition Hands-on exhibits including climbable aircraft cockpits Personal stories and insights from volunteer guides who are retired Navy personnel or former Midway crew members Panoramic views of San Diego Bay and city skyline from the flight deck Plan Your Visit to USS Midway Museum The museum is conveniently located along San Diego's harbour and is wheelchair accessible with elevators and ramps throughout.
