USS Midway Museum, San Diego

Large and well preserved collection of military history on a floating aircraft carrier museum. Museum is very large with very steep stairs. Wear comfortable shoes. Some decks (lower decks and "the island") have very low ceilings. If you're above 5'11" you will have to watch your head, tilt your neck or maneuver around metal pieces hanging from the ceiling. It's a little warm below deck depending on the time of year All exhibits and well maintained. Many volunteers are veterans that are able to provide additional insight into the exhibits. There is an additional island tour ( included) that gives a tour of the bridge with views of the additional guess if the entire flight deck. There are flight simulators that are an additional cost of $8.00 for the ones that you can actually control/fly. It's about 3 minutes I believe. Two people must ride at a time so the simulator would be balanced (we were told). There are snacks and drinks available for purchase. There are restrooms and also a restaurant with outdoor seating. There is also a gift shop aboard the sell a collection of clothing, military patches, cups, etc. Great experience overall. You can easily make a day of it and spend anywhere from 3 to 6 guess there.

Absolutely a must see place for everybody. Great place to spend 3 or so hours with your family. Discover and explore the inner workings of US Navy carrier that was in service for 50 years. The flight deck has a whole bunch of airplanes that anybody can marvel at and enjoy. The audio tour was very informative and fun as well. Definitely a place to take your family to, especially if you are out of town.
