min visit
Step aboard the USS Midway, a decommissioned aircraft carrier that served as the flagship of the U.S. Navy during the Cold War, now transformed into an engaging floating museum in San Diego Bay. Walk through restored officer's quarters, engine rooms, and the flight deck while audio guides bring the ship's 47-year history to life through compelling personal stories from veterans. The museum beautifully balances historical authenticity with interactive exhibits that capture the daily lives of over 4,500 sailors who called this vessel home.
