“Even after my prior visit to the aircraft carrier museum in New York, the USS Midway is still an awesome experience. It's truly humbling to see how people lived and worked on such a ship. I particularly liked the extra information provided by the retired officers that are all over the ship. We had a short day and rushed through the ship in 2 hours, but you can easily spent 4-5 hours with all the movies, expositions and background information. definitely worth the money.”
