Advice for Visitors

Tips

With so much to see and do, plan on at least three or four hours onboard to get the most out of your visit.

Exploring the USS Midway can involve a lot of walking and navigating ladders. Closed-toed shoes and layered clothing are recommended as temperatures vary around the ship. Heels and skirts are not recommended.

Kids love the museum's Junior Pilot Program! Follow Airman Sam Rodriguez as he takes you and the youngsters on an amazing and entertaining audio tour to more than 30 locations throughout the aircraft carrier. Once the kids complete Sam’s tasks, they will be treated to a ceremony performed by one of Midway’s volunteer Docents, where they will earn their Junior Pilot Wings!

All visitors are subject to a bag check before coming aboard the Midway. Prohibited items include but are not limited to: outside food/beverage, glass containers of any kind, pets, bicycles, skateboard/scooters, weapons of any kind.

San Diego CityPASS
Easy to Use
Took my kids to San Diego and got the City pass. Super easy to use the tickets on the phone. They scan them and you're in to the park; no trying to keep up with the tickets anymore. The CityPASS will save you money and time. I'll use it again when I go back next time.
Absolutely no regrets..!!!!
This is a great deal and was our 2nd CityPass experience. Highly recommended. Of course, we crunched all the numbers to make sure it was. Tickets on the app, worked every time, at everyplace we visited. Do it..!!!
Best family vacation we've ever had!
We bought a city pass for our recent trip to San Diego and it was the best decision. We bought the Legoland plus 3 and we used it fully. We chose the Zoo, Aquarium and the Midway Museum. The pass was so easy to use and we had no issues anywhere. We were able to enjoy so many attractions and we saved a lot compared to the regular prices and we were able to buy the city pass in our home currency which was also really nice. Will definitely buy a city pass again in the future.
Loved sunny California!
The citypass was a great deal and very easy to use. This is the second time I have used it and I would do it again. Thank you for making things so easy!
CityPASS was great!
We bought CityPASS on our recent trip to San Diego and it was great. We saved enough money to do something extra special while we were there that made the trip unforgettable. The tickets we received from CityPASS worked seamlessly at all the attractions. Super easy and convenient.
San Diego CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 322.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great value CityPASS was a great value for our family vacation to San Diego. We calculated that it cost less than half of what we would've paid buying everything separately. The app was easy to use and was accepted at all the locations we went to!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from CityPASS is worth it The CityPASS was very helpful to have. It made the process for going to San Diego Zoo, Legoland, and Birch Aquarium very easy and saved money. I do wish it had a few better options for the other passes since we weren't interested in the other offers or it didn't work in our midweek schedule. Still even with not using it for something else it was still a savings.
