USS Midway Museum

Moored at Navy Pier, the retired CV-41 carrier offers a deep look into naval history. Beyond the main decks, the vessel features interactive flight simulators alongside exhibits and videos detailing daily routines at sea. Volunteer docents sharing personal service stories are stationed throughout the ship, while free self-guided audio tours let you explore at your own pace. An on-board cafeteria is also available when walking the massive ship works up an appetite.
