Great tour. Lots of information. Great staff/volunteers. Two hours minimum to see everything. Wear good walking shoes.

It was exactly as said. Just went straight through the entrance, and scanning the barcodes were very quick and easy. The museum itself was very fun and interactive. Everyone in the party had fun, both children and adults alike. Make sure to allocate at least 2-3 hours of your time for this one because there’s plenty to see and the view from the flight deck itself is nice to appreciate.

This place was awesome, and I recommend for everyone to take their families. I took my partner, and it was funny because they checked his backed packed and his was smaller than mine. I am Latino and I had a bigger backed packed he had a fanny pack, and he is WHITE man. It was funny because the same happens at any airport when we travel together.

This is a great tour. We went on a Sunday and the extra charge that we paid to "skip the line" was not worth it, there were only 4-5 people in line to begin with. Anyway, the docents on the Midway are great, and the whole tour was excellent.

The planes were amazing. The view was awesome from the flight deck. I liked that we were able to tour the ship by ourselves and takevour time.

Excellent tour... some where guided to explain the complexities of the ship. The audio tour portion was very well done. I saw everything! Give yourself at least 3 hours and get there early! This is a must if you visit San Diego. Whether you like war or not... it's all about the technology

Great experience, really well self-guided tour. Make sure you plan enough time for it (2h min), so you won't have to rush through it.

A piece of such important history! Very interesting to learn about how these men lived and worked to protect the USA. Lots of veteran volunteers and very helpful and knowledgeable. Don't miss visiting here! Lots of stairs and small areas. Would not recommend for people with knee, back or neck issues.

The tour the ship was amazing! So informative and interesting! The free audio guide was great too. Easy to use and gave wonderfully narrated short explanations and stories. There were very helpful nice volunteers everywhere as well. There wasn't much a line the day we went and the bar code from Cool Destinations didn't work. The entrance ticket worker wrote down our codes and let us in without any problems but it did hold up the line behind us for a short time.

Fantastic exhibition, skip the line worked like charm. The folks that help with the guided tours were very helpful.
