When you're in San Diego, you simply can't miss the USS Midway. Everything about it is wonderful. The staff and former crew members who served on that ship are truly courteous. When you talk to them, you can feel their devotion to their country, to the flag, and to the esprit de corps that, in a way, defines all of "us" who belong to the Armed Forces.

You'll need to arrive early, but it's a great place to visit—there are lots of interesting spots and plenty of trails to explore. Set aside at least two hours, or more if you can.

My husband was stationed here back in the 1970's, and it was so good for him to come back and reminisce , and tell me stories of what he did on the ship when he was out at sea. Everyone was so friendly and informative.It was a really good tour

Upon arrival on the ship, the volunteer staff were very pleasant and helpful. Since there are several decks on this ship, we were curious how to make our experience proceed smoothly. The volunteers showed us a strategy, allowing us to enjoy the full experience, without being overwhelmed. From the living quarters to the mess hall to the flight deck, this museum did not disappoint. The knowledge of the volunteers truly made this a memorable experience.

It was great visiting the Midway to view the actual carrier that a Boy Scout troop buddy flew from when he served in Desert Storm. He was an A-6 Intruder navigator/ordinance officer. Our kids liked it too!

We were visiting from Ohio and toured the ship with our neices and nephew in grades K, 3, & 6 who live in Carlsbad. It was wonderful to see them engaging in the exhibits and being excited about the scavenger hunt activity provided. Thay especially loved climbing inside some of the planes and flipping switches in the control rooms. Our group of seven utilized the audio headsets to varying degrees, which was an ideal way to receive as much history and information as each participant wanted. We loved that it was self-paced and that there were an abundance of opportunities to talk with actual retired servicemen who were knowledgeable about the ship. Great opportunity to learn about military history in an impactful way!
