USS Midway Museum

The USS Midway Museum is an absolute must-visit when you are in San Diego. A good 2 to 3 hours were spent here to walk through the historic aircraft carrier and informative exhibits.

A lot to see, so plan on more than 2 hours. It’s also pretty cool to see a current, active duty carrier while you’re standing on this older one.

Don't miss it for $10 in the parking lot next to it! There is also island to visit, don't miss it. Island has to climb a lot of very high and steep stairs, so ladies and gentlemen don't wear slippers, high heels.

It is worth going to be particularly good, don’t worry about eating and drinking, there are all inside, tired and there are rest areas, shopping areas, etc. It is recommended to leave a lot of time.

After coming to San Diego so many times, I finally decided to go to the Midway Battleship. The museum built to commemorate the six-minute battle that changed the situation is bigger than expected. The aircraft carrier USS Midway (Sh. CVB-41) is an aircraft carrier belonging to the United States Navy, the first ship of the Midway-class aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier USS Midway is the first US military ship named Midway Island to commemorate the Battle of Midway Island. The aircraft carrier Midway withdrew from the fleet sequence in 1992, officially retired in 1997, and in 2004, the final resting place of the carrier was arranged near the San Diego Naval Trestle, which was taken over by the nonprofit and opened as a museum. Midway tickets are $18, we booked tickets online in advance, so we crossed the long queue to buy tickets and started checking tickets directly on board. PS: Midway Parking costs $10, parking until the end of business, which is really a conscience charge in San Diego's high parking charges. From the beginning of the ticket inspection, I saw a lot of elderly volunteers, and later learned that they were all veterans who served on the Midway Island. Maybe they were thinking and reluctant about this huge warship. After retiring, they returned to the place where they fought back. Introduce Midway Island to eight-party guests. After boarding the ship, the first arrival is the spacious hangar deck, where you can queue up to pick up the explainer first, and there is Chinese service content. This way, every time you arrive at a explanation point, you can get the corresponding Chinese explanation according to the number, which is very user-friendly and convenient. On the hangar deck, displays are mostly classic older models, including the famous pirate-style warplanes and Wildcat carriers. On one side of the hangar deck, there is a dedicated lounge dining area offering simple bagels, sandwiches and coffee for a price similar to the city. After all, it takes physical strength and time to go up and down in the Midway Museum. As a military fan, it is not enough to stay here for a day. Although the Midway is very large, the maze-like narrow passages and stairs are crazy, so the bridge of Midway is not a free area to visit, and it needs to wait in line and be guided by the staff to explain the visit. Here you can visit the captain's working area and have a good view of the entire flight deck.

It is very convenient to buy tickets and cheaper than buying on site

Military fans must punch in, children like it very much
