Overnight Adventure
February 07, 2026
Walk in the footsteps of a true Midway Sailor during an unforgettable after-hours adventure aboard the USS Midway Museum!
Once the museum closes to the public, you can explore the ship through engaging, hands-on activities inspired by life at sea. Tour the ship from top to bottom, even venturing deep into the engine room to discover how this massive aircraft carrier was powered. Going behind-the-scenes, you'll learn what daily life was like for Sailors and how the ship operated.
Enjoy exclusive time on 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, wake up to a hot breakfast and continue the adventure with new activities that reinforce history, teamwork and the Midway legacy.
We are excited to welcome youth groups and families on board to experience our new Overnight Adventure Program.
