Veteran's Day Spotlight: USS Midway Museum

Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Written by Kimberly Fidler
In honor of Veterans Day we are spotlighting the USS Midway Museum, located in one of our favorite vacation destinations--San Diego.  Located along the Embarcadero just steps away from the Maritime Museum is the longest-serving aircraft carrier in U.S. Naval history, the USS Midway. Now a museum, the formerly active aircraft carrier features a self-guided audio tour with access to 65 informative and interactive exhibits and 25 restored aircraft ranging from World War II to Operation Desert Storm. 

Hear the stories of life on the USS Midway straight from the sailors who lived on board during its nearly 50 years of service through the tour and museum docents.  Stroll through the past with stops at the crew's sleeping quarters, the post office, machine shops, pilots' ready rooms, and even the ship's jail.

With so much to see and do you could easily spend 3-4 hours at the USS Midway Museum, so be sure to schedule enough time.  We help you save on your San Diego vacation with our discount USS Midway Museum tickets

To thank those who serve our country, a special ceremony will be held today at 3 p.m. and all veterans receive free admission to the museum on Veterans Day.  Simply bring your military id and present it at the museum on November 11, 2009.
