点评:We booked directly through Midway.org and paid $39 per adult and $29 per child. We bought tickets online weeks in advance since we were going on July 4th and I knew it would be busy. We arrived very soon after they opened (a little bit after 10 am) and didn't have to wait in line. It wasn't too busy for the first hour but by 11 am it was pretty packed. We stayed nearby at the Embassy Suites so we could just walk over and leave our car in hotel parking and that worked out well.
The volunteers were all so friendly at the Midway Museum. We had just visited Pearl Harbor one week earlier and we were really impressed with the USS Midway Museum. We did the self-guided tour and liked that we could explore on our own at our own pace. We walked through the inside areas of the ship first to see the below deck exhibits because we knew it would get busy and harder to walk through these areas as the morning went on. Then we checked out the hangar deck, flight deck, gift shop, and cafe. Getting a glimpse into the daily lives of the sailors downstairs -from the tiny bunk areas to the massive galleys - was fascinating. The veteran docents on board are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and eager to answer questions.
We spent about 2-3 hours exploring but easily could have spent more time here. It’s highly engaging for kids and adults alike. Wear comfortable walking shoes because you will do a lot of exploring. Highly recommended!
翻译:我们直接通过 Midway.org 网站预订,成人票价 39 美元,儿童票价 29 美元。因为是 7 月 4 日去,我知道那天人会很多,所以提前几周就在网上买了票。我们早上 10 点刚过就到了,不用排队。第一个小时人不多,但到了 11 点就相当拥挤了。我们住在附近的 Embassy Suites 酒店,所以可以直接走过去,把车停在酒店停车场,非常方便。
中途岛博物馆的志愿者们都非常友好。我们一周前刚去过珍珠港,所以对中途岛号航空母舰博物馆印象深刻。我们选择了自助游,很喜欢这种可以按照自己的节奏自由参观的方式。我们先参观了舰体内部,看看甲板下的展品,因为我们知道随着时间的推移,这些区域会越来越拥挤,走起来也会很费劲。之后,我们又参观了机库甲板、飞行甲板、礼品店和咖啡馆。能够一窥水手们在下层甲板上的日常生活——从狭小的铺位到宽敞的厨房——真是令人着迷。船上的资深讲解员们非常友善、博学,而且乐于解答各种问题。
我们花了大约两三个小时参观,但感觉还可以待更久。这里对大人和孩子都非常有吸引力。建议穿舒适的步行鞋,因为你会探索很多地方。强烈推荐!
