Take your Overnight Adventure to new heights with the Aviation Overnight aboard the USS Midway Museum! This immersive experience places naval aviation at the center, highlighting the squadrons, aircraft and aviators who launched from Midway’s legendary flight deck and helped shape aviation history.
Get up close with iconic aircraft and step into the pilot’s seat with hands-on experiences in the Midway Flight Academy flight simulators. Tour behind-the-scenes spaces and learn what daily life was like for naval aviators. After hours, enjoy rare access to the flight deck under the stars, then settle in for the night and sleep in authentic Navy racks just like the crew once did. In the morning, refuel with a hot breakfast and continue your mission with engaging, aviation-themed activities.
Designed for youth groups and families, the Aviation Overnight Adventure offers a high-flying, unforgettable journey where learning takes off and inspiration soars!
