    Amazing History Great Activity
    I’ve always wanted to do the tour and I’m so glad we did great history and hands-on experience. I would definitely say it would take at least 2 1/2 to 3 hours to see everything. We bought our tickets right there, which was nice and easy. Everyone was extremely friendly and very helpful. The volunteer staff that is there is very knowledgeable about the aircraft carrier and the history which was great. You do even get to sit in some of the airplanes as well, but you get to see almost every inch of the ship which is great. Great for families couples and kids as well. A lot of walking and also a lot of steps if you want to go up to the top or down to the engine room.

    Floating history
    We had a great day here...and plan to spend a good chunk of your day! There's so much to see and tour. It's a great experience for the whole family. The docents were passionate and knowledgeable resources that are eager to help. The tours are a unique experience just make sure your group is good with stairs and ladders.

    Must See
    We were not sure if our girls, who are not into ships or military, would be interested. But they loved it! There is so much to see. My daughter loved pretending she was a crew member as we explored the maze of hallways and rooms. The flight simulators were fun. Although they were more intense then I thought, so I don’t suggest it if you easily get motion sickness.

    Absolutely first rate museum - a must see if you are in San Diego
    My wife and I, and our two long-time friends, all of us in our mid-sixties, visited this absolutely wonderful museum from a cruise ship, and had the best time. When we arrived to buy the tickets we noticed that veterans got a $10 discount over the normal adult price, and as we were all British Army veterans of some sixty years’ service between us we thought we had nothing to lose by asking if we qualified for this discount. Now we’ve been to quite a few attractions in the United States who offered such a discount, and sometimes we are lucky and they give it to us, and sometimes we aren’t so lucky. Now at this point I really must mention the absolute legend of a man that served us. Unfortunately I did not get his name (I was hoping that it would be on the receipt, but when I returned to England I realised that it wasn’t, which is a real pity as I would love to have mentioned him in this review by his name), but he was on the left hand window at 13:27 on Thursday 14th March 2024. Anyway, we asked about the discount and he immediately told us that he would give us it if we could prove our service. Now the UK is years behind the US in their recognition of its veterans, and as such have only just began to issue proper Veterans’ ID Cards, which unfortunately we are not in possession of at this moment. However, we had our Veterans’ Rail Cards and he accepted this, along with a few questions about rank and such like, and duly gave us the discount. To make this person even more a top man he thanked us for our service – we left the ticket booth feeling ten foot tall. Oh how I wish veterans were treated with so much reverence in the UK as they are in the US. Now onto the museum itself. We spent three and a half hours wandering around this magnificent museum, and only left when it was closing, but we could have spent much more time if we had been allowed. All four of us have visited many military museums in many places throughout the World, and all agreed that this was right up there with the best of them. There’s so much to see and do, and everything is presented with so much thought and attention to detail. We loved the fact that they had mannequins positioned in some of the areas of the ship depicting the persons that would have been there when the ship was on active duty – it added a sense of realism to the whole experience. The volunteers positioned strategically around the museum were fantastic at bringing the ship and its history alive, so well done to each and every one of them. Everything was laid out so well that it was easy to get around without missing anything, but we knew that we had time constraints, so we appreciated that we were hurrying along at a bit of a pace to see all that we could cram in before the museum closed. The Battle of Midway Theatre was just amazing and kept us enthralled throughout the multimedia movie. This is a must see if you are ever in San Diego, and we would certainly visit it again if we are ever in this port – hopefully next time we will all be in possession of our UK Veterans’ ID cards.

    If you watch it carefully, it takes more than two hours
    After being in active service until the Iraq War, it was moored in the naval city of San Diego and became a museum. Fighter planes and helicopters are on display on the deck and in the hangar. There is a slight smell of oil when you enter the ship, and on the deck below the hangar, there is the commander's room, the captain's room, the officers' and men's messes, the pilots' mess, the communications room, the laundry, the mail facility, the criminal detention cell, and other rooms and hangar facilities that have been preserved, and each room and facility is reproduced with life-sized dolls of officers, NCOs, and men. The equipment in each room and facility is much more analog than it is today. Audio guides are available for free rental, and when you bring the device close to the audio mark at each point, an explanation begins. The languages are English, French, German, Chinese, and of course Japanese. A guide will give you an explanation in the engine room. The ship is large, and it would take more than two hours to climb up and down the ladders to see everything carefully. On the wall inside the ship, there is a painting panel of an attack on a Japanese Navy aircraft carrier by a carrier-based aircraft during the Battle of Midway...

    Great Piece of History.
    Great museum and very interesting to walk around. I found that the audio tour wasn't the best and very top level descriptions of things and not always the most informative, but nice for it to be included. The voices film on the hanger deck is very well done and worth hanging around for the next showing. Volunteers very knowledgable and friendly - a credit to the museum. We spent around 4 hours here and started having to rush through a little due to other plans, but plan maybe 4-5 hours for a trip if you want to soak up properly.

    A Must in San Diego
    This place is so interesting. Largely staffed by veterans of the actual ship, it certainly provides an insight into life in the navy, both in and outside of wartime. The flight deck has an array of vintage planes and helicopters, many of which you can go into. The other levels show how and where the mariners lived and worked. It gives you a new appreciation for sailors. I think I inadvertently perplexed one veteran when in the engine room. Given our location, I asked him if this was where he had worked. He looked shocked then explained he’d been a pilot, but knew all about the ships engines - that he then explained in great, great detail. Thanks Ron! A must when you’re in San Diego.

    Impressive and almost speechless
    I have to admit, we aren’t into museums, but this is history and we are into that. The ship is massive, but I still can’t imagine landing a plane on the top deck. The areas below deck are equally as big and impressive. It seems like we could walk miles in the passageways below deck. At times we found ourselves all alone, then we would walk into a room with a volunteer and he would tell us about the room. The radio room was very interesting. The volunteers are amazing and the Battle of Midway film was very well done and quite moving. The aircraft spread throughout are fascinating, I tried to imagine myself strapped into one of those seats, flying through enemy territory being shot at. I could not even come close to imagining it. We spent several hours there and could have spent several more. We were also surprised that they had a large gift shop, a cafeteria and several food kiosks scattered around.
