Excellent! Interesting and well done! Stay at the Hampton Inn! Easy to get to Midway and cruise port. - We all enjoyed seeing the Midway. One of our family was a Navy man and it was especially fun for him to see the radio rooms, bunks etc… There was a Top Gun there (volunteer) and he was great!

Amazing Tour of a historical ship. - This ship is an example of our Country’s manufacturing abilities, our might, our history and willingness to do what it takes. The tour is absolutely amazing. There are so many volunteers on board willing to provide important information about every aspect of the ship. Also, the variety of aircraft on the ship is amazing. You don’t want to miss this one if you ever have a chance to see it.

Figure on 5 hours if you... - Figure on 5 hours if you have the time so you can take your time and speak with the "yellow hats". Well worth the time!

Completely and utterly unmissable - The USS Midway really was incredible. I was slightly shocked at the $39 price tag initially, but I would have paid double and still enjoyed every second. The docents make this place, they are knowledgable, and make the time to talk to you and answer questions. Shout out to Mark, Pete and Larry who gave us the catch, catapult and bridge talks- I could have listened to them all day. The free audio guide helped navigate the ship, and there were water filling stations thought which helped with the heat! Do not miss this museum
