I had a great time returning to the museum after more than 20 years at San Diego. A lot has changed since then.

Wonderful museum! Take your time, lots to see. Took over 4 hours to see everything and we could have probably spent another hour but had other arrangments.

Very interesting. Great having people who have served on board, lots of facts and personal stories. Allow 3 to 4 hours to see everything.

Exhibits were well marked and interesting I very much appreciated all of the hard working docents. They told stories reflecting personal experiences that helped the Mudway come to life.

-We had this on our maybe list before we came but after passing it on a trolley tour and the guide really recommending it we decided to do this on our last day and are so glad we did. Our kids are 6 and 8 and they enjoyed the scavenger hunt and all the planes. We had never been on an aircraft carrier and the preservation of the ship and the history was so interesting for all of us. Every single guide was so friendly and informative and clearly had a love for the midway. This is fun for all ages and not something you can do in other cities - worth the visit!

My grandson and I visited the USS Midway and found it very engaging and educational for him. He was very engaged with the exhibits and we found the volunteers/workers to be knowledgeable and friendly.

This is such a great value for all the incredible history you see here! We absolutely loved both the aircraft carrier and all the aircraft!
