Overnight Adventure

Spend the night on the longest-serving aircraft carrier of the 20th century! Walk in the footsteps of a true Midway Sailor, sleeping in authentic Navy bunks, eating breakfast on board, and much more.

We are excited to welcome youth groups, families, and individuals on board to experience our new Overnight Adventure Program.
