Visiting San Diego: USS Midway Museum

We visited San Diego during the summer with family and we got to experience 7 of their tourist attractions:

1. San Diego Natural History Museum
2. Sea World
3. USS Midway
4. San Diego Zoo
5. Legoland
6. San Diego Air and Space Museum
7. Museum of Man

The kids loved the USS Midway Museum. Especially my son, he couldn’t believe such a thing actually existed and that you could get on it! For all he cared, it was better than Legoland – and this is a 7 year old who loves Legos.

Even my 70 year old father-in-law enjoyed this most of all. The aircraft carrier is enormous and a neat feature is they let you on the planes! Not all of them, but some of them and to us that was enough. They also have a “cockpit” section where the cockpits are available to get on and take pictures.

We had an amazing time. We did not see all of the museum, but we wanted to. Unfortunately we also travelled with a 4 and 6 year old and even when they did enjoy the aircraft carrier they got tired of walking and waiting in line to get on the planes and we decided it was time for dinner.

Still, this was an amazing experience for all of our party. It is a must if you ever visit San Diego.

cheers!
