About this experience
The USS Midway Museum is a floating maritime museum permanently moored on San Diego's Embarcadero. Opened to the public after serving from 1945 to 1992, the carrier now houses more than sixty exhibits that illustrate the evolution of naval aviation and the life of sailors aboard a warship.
Visitors can walk the flight deck to view a collection of restored jets and helicopters, then descend into the hangar and below‑deck areas to see crew quarters, engine rooms and the ship's command centre. Interactive flight simulators offer a hands‑on experience, while the Battle of Midway theatre presents a concise historical overview. Most guests spend between two and four hours exploring the galleries and outdoor decks.
The museum operates daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, with the last admission at 4:00 pm. It may close on major holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Booking through Ticketex provides instant confirmation and a secure, paper‑free ticket that grants entry to the main exhibition areas.
