My suggestion is to get there before they open before the crowds build up and expect a minimum of the 3 hours to tour the aircraft carrier all the volunteer staff are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful I would highly recommend it the ship is well laid out with plenty of signs to direct you to go and volunteers to help you if you have a specific area you want to see first

Best zoo ever! There's something for everyone here. Take the bus tour first then decide your must-see exhibits. We loved the aerial views from the skylight cups. The displays have treats near the viewing area so all the creatures who were comfortable with the temperature were close enough for good pictures and observation.

My wife and I did the Midway Museum tour with our grand niece and nephew ages 4 and 8. We cannot sing enough praise for the men and women that work/volunteer there and the exhibit itself. A truly memorable experience and fantastic history lesson. Well done crew of the Midway.

    It was midday on a Saturday and it wasn't super crowded. We were able to see all the exibits and enjoy the aviaries this venue had to offer within about 3hrs. The only exibit we missed due to crowds was the Pandas. We will be back with timed tickets for that.
