Prepare yourself for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! Admission includes a self-guided audio tour to 60 locations. Download the audio tour map, narrated by Midway sailors who lived or worked on Midway. Perhaps a sailor who was aboard in 1945, or one who served during Operation Desert Storm.

Listen to the head cook responsible for 13,500 meals a day. Or listen to stories from a sailor who spent some time in Midway's jail. Here's a sneak preview of the adventure that awaits.
