The USS Lexington is a captivating museum ship that offers a unique and engaging experience for visitors of all ages. This World War II aircraft carrier provides a fascinating glimpse into naval history through its well-preserved exhibits and interactive displays. Visitors can explore the flight deck, vintage aircraft, and immersive simulations, making it a delight for both ship enthusiasts and history buffs.
The museum ship features plenty of fun photo opportunities, a kid-friendly menu, and a well-stocked gift shop, allowing families to spend a whole day exploring its many exhibits. While some areas lack air conditioning and may be hot during the summer, and the ship involves a lot of walking with some narrow and steep stairwells, visitors find the experience rewarding, with many returning to see new exhibits and improvements over the years.
The staff is friendly, and the self-guided tours allow visitors to explore at their own pace. Visitors can also enjoy reasonably priced and tasty meals at the Mess Deck cafe, spending about 2.5 hours exploring and learning about history. Many leave with a deeper appreciation for the efforts of those who served, describing it as an incredible experience.
