Fascinating exhibits and breathtaking views! - Walking through the aircraft carrier gave me a real sense of history and the scale of life on board. The interactive exhibits were super engaging, and the views from the flight deck were incredible. If you’re into military history or just want to explore something unique, this place is definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic Aviation History - A fantastic piece of naval aviation history! From the earliest attempts at aircraft carriers to the most modern Gerald R Ford class supercarriers. If you are a fan of WWII Aviation technology up through the modern era, you won't be disappointed! Score: 8.0/10.0

USS Midway Adventure - Thank you Viator for the discounted tickets. We got to skip the ticket counter and waltz right on in. No issues with them scanning our e-tickets and we had a wonderful experience. So much to see and learn with great exhibits and narrated tours at your own pace. Much appreciation to our service men and women. Plenty of on site parking, be prepared to pay for parking on entry ($20). Highly recommended.
