Audio Tours

Self-Guided Audio Tour

Midway’s audio tour is split into three engaging sections:

Flight Deck: Learn about more than 20 historic U.S. Navy aircraft and listen to Midway pilots describe what it was like to fly aircraft right off this floating airport. Also, tour the ship's Island/Bridge, Admiral’s & Captain’s Country and Midway's pilot Ready Rooms.

Hangar Deck: Midway sailors will tell you what it was like to drop anchor, sleep in an enlisted sailors’ bunk, or fly WWII-era aircraft! Learn about the Battle of Midway and Operation Frequent Wind.

Below Deck: Sick Bay, Galley, Laundry and Engine Room are just some of the many spaces you can explore below deck and listen to Midway sailors describe their daily life aboard.

The tour is self-guided, so guests may choose which locations they would like to visit and listen to. Guests should allow 3-5 hours to experience the full audio tour.

Family Self-Guided Audio Tour

Our Family Self-Guided Audio is perfect for our little skippers! Families can follow Airman Sam Rodriguez as he leads youngsters on an eye-opening and entertaining audio tour to more than 30 locations throughout the aircraft carrier.

For extra fun, stop by our Docent Information Center at the start of your visit to learn how your youngster can earn his or her Junior Pilot Wings! Read more about the Junior Pilot Program here.

The Family Audio Tour is self-guided, so guests may choose which locations and stops they would like to visit and listen to. Guests should allow 2-3 hours to experience this tour.
