Audio Tours
Admission includes a self-guided audio tour for you, your friends, and your family. The audio tour brings USS Midway’s history to life and adds a personal touch to what it was like to live on board a floating city at sea!
Both our self-guided audio tour options and museum map are available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, German, and French.
Self-Guided Audio Tour
Midway’s audio tour is split into three engaging sections:
Flight Deck: Learn about more than 20 aircraft and listen to Midway pilots describe what it was like to fly aircraft right off this floating airport. Also, visit Admiral’s & Captain’s Country and Midway's pilot Ready Rooms!
Hangar Deck: Midway sailors will tell you what it was like to drop anchor, sleep in an enlisted sailors’ bunk, or fly a WWII aircraft!
Below Deck: Sick Bay, Galley, Laundry, and Engine Room are just some of the spaces you can explore and listen to Midway sailors describe their daily life aboard.
The tour is self-guided, so guests may choose which locations and stops they would like to visit and listen to. Guests should allow 3-5 hours to experience the audio tour.
Family Self-Guided Audio Tour
Our Family Self-Guided Audio is perfect for our little skippers! Families can follow Airman Sam Rodriguez as he leads youngsters on an eye-opening and entertaining audio tour to more than 30 locations throughout the aircraft carrier.
For extra fun, stop by our Docent Information Center at the start of your visit to learn how your youngster can earn his or her Junior Pilot Wings! Read more about the Junior Pilot Program here.
The Family Audio Tour is self-guided, so guests may choose which locations and stops they would like to visit and listen to. Guests should allow 2-3 hours to experience this tour.
