Group reservations are required three days in advance (no walk-ups).  Groups without an advance reservation will pay the regular admission rate. Dates are subject to availability so please have optional dates ready when calling.  A single payment for the entire group must be made upon arrival.  A maximum of 100 guests is allowed aboard at one time.  If your group is larger, please divide it into smaller groups arriving at least 45 minutes apart.  Prices valid through December 31, 2010.  Refer to code G-GR.

 Docent Tours

Our Volunteer Docent Staff offers a one - hour Docent led tour for Museum guests.  Our Docent staff is strictly volunteer, therefore times and days are limited and non-negotiable.  The docent selects the areas that will be toured based on the size of the group and space availability. Guests are free to tour the remainder of the Midway once done with the Docent led tour.  Additionally, they can take advantage of the self-guided audio tour narrated by Midway sailors.
