Set Sail for History: Experience the Legendary USS Midway Museum in San Diego

Step onto a floating city at sea. The USS Midway is not just a museum; it is a powerful monument to American innovation and bravery. Docked right on the stunning downtown San Diego waterfront, this iconic aircraft carrier invites you to walk in the footsteps of the 225,000 sailors who served aboard her deck.

Why the USS Midway is a "Must-Do" in San Diego

Rated by Tripadvisor as the #1 thing to do in San Diego, the Midway offers an immersive experience you simply cannot find anywhere else. As the longest-serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century, it is a massive beast of steel—longer than the Titanic—packed with stories waiting to be told.

Here is what awaits you:

• Get Hands-On with Fighter Jets: Walk the massive flight deck and get nose-to-nose with over 30 restored aircraft, including the F-14 Tomcat (made famous by Top Gun) and the F/A-18 Hornet. You don't just look; you can climb into actual cockpits and feel what it is like to be a pilot.

• The "Live" Audio Tour: Grab your headset and let history come alive. The tour is narrated by actual Midway veterans who share their real-life sea stories—from launching jets to baking pies in the galley.

• Explore the Inner Maze: Go below deck to see how 4,500 sailors lived, worked, and slept. Tour the engine room, the brig (jail), the post office, and the sprawling galley where the crew ate.

• Spectacular Bay Views: From the Captain’s chair in the bridge to the edge of the flight deck, you will enjoy panoramic views of San Diego Bay and the city skyline. It is a photographer’s dream, especially at sunset
