- Benjamin SzwedaApril 19, 2015Do the free "island tour" and then on the flight deck listen to "the trap" aircraft presentation by a retired pilot. Look out the planes you can climb into!
- Visit San DiegoJune 8, 2010Visit the “Island Tour” on the Flight deck at the beginning of your visit. The lines become long in the afternoons and in the summer, visiting first will ensure that you are able to see all of the Mid Read more
- Yoli A.January 24, 2014So much to see here; it's like a maze! Make sure to check-out the berthing and brig areas; they're the best parts.

- Guillermo QuezadaJuly 4, 2010If you do not want to pay the $18.00 admission, but still would like to see the flight deck for free, just ask for "Bay Access" at the ticket center and you will be granted a free tour by a volunteer. Read more
- Ruth ByeOctober 29, 2017Definitely recommend doing the free audio tour that has dual channels for either adults or kids.
- Kenneth ZieglerApril 7, 2013All surgeons should check out the sick bay to see what operating in a closet is really like. Also: get up close and personal with an F-14.
- Emilio ChavezJanuary 14, 2019The place is huge and you’ll probably see it all in about 3 hours if you are as curious as me.
- Kristine POctober 30, 2016Must see for SD tourist. Take time to listen to the vets talking on the top deck.
- Vuong NguyenJuly 4, 2010An awesome but pricey tour. You enter a life sized retired navy aircraft carrier. You have to pay for parking also but it gives you access to nearby park and venues. Top of the ship has aircraft
- Doug BaerApril 9, 2015Listen to the real people! Do the island tour and then head to the flight deck to hear about the "throw and catch"
- Christopher SheetsDecember 16, 2015So interesting to see the inner workings of an aircraft carrier. So much fun!!!
- Benjamin SzwedaApril 19, 2015Buy ticket online and avoid long lines even before ship opening. I was on board before ticket windows even opened for those who didn't buy online.
- Actually, the "Bay Access" is not a tour of any kind. It is simply for those who want to see an unobstructed view of the bay. You are escorted to the bow for a few minutes, and then led back down to
- Laurel McJMarch 26, 2015Take a docent tour. The vets who give the tours are great historical story tellers.

- TshahadAugust 23, 2014It needs at least 4 hours ,, great museum and u can dine at seasons 52 when u finish👍
- Andy WolfeJuly 11, 2015Don't bother paying for the parking at the museum. Drive further up toward Coronado and there is metered parking lot where you can get three hours for $2.50
- Arthur MitchellMarch 3, 2012Commissioned in 1945, USS Midway (CV-41) was an aircraft carrier of the US Navy and is the only remaining aircraft carrier of the WW II era that is not an Essex-class ship.
- Alonda HerronJuly 7, 2013Get there early, so you have lots of time and wear shorts, if you can. It gets HOT on the lower decks.
- D BSeptember 24, 2009The USS Midway has been turned into a floating museum and it's really cool. They keep opening up new sections of the ship, so I've been three times and each time there is something new to see!
- Michael AndersonAugust 10, 2014The multi-person flight simulator dated back to the Gulf War and is not for the claustrophobic!

- Jerry CurtisOctober 17, 2012"Its a beautiful day and the conditions are just right for viewing a Green Flash. Remember Midway Magic.
- Merel BackersFebruary 23, 2015Pretty impressive, but just too crowded with all the kids. Couldn't experience the audio tour in peace.
- TheDLAugust 8, 2015A glimpse of America's might and muscle. But just enough to show that you shouldn't test us. At all. Ever.
- Aaron AtencioApril 26, 2012The places that don't get direct sunlight can get very cold on even a pleasant day due to wind. Bring a jacket!
- Tony's BaloneyAugust 27, 2011I cannot guarantee it, but this might be the only free parking spot at the fish market/Salute to Bob Hope. There is no meter for this space and we were here for 3 hours and got no ticket good luck! :)
- Gerardo RemisFebruary 9, 2018Is a lovely museum, personally i did not enjoy it too much because is boring for kids
- Joe POctober 27, 2010Make sure you start your tour of the Midway early in the day. It will take you most of the day to properly visit the entire ship.
