Very interesting and heart warming. Could have spent so many more hours exploring. Wonderful staff.

Naval history and engineering marvels… We visited USS Lexington Museum with our friends and took a self-guided tours through this massive WWII aircraft carrier. It is filled with planes, exhibits, and rich historical accounts. There were steep ladders and lots of walking, but we had an immersive experience. Listed below are the different sections in this museum: 1) Hangar Deck features numerous restored aircraft, the 3D Mega Theater, flight simulators etc. 2) Highlights of FOC’SLE include Pearl Harbor Exhibit, Anchor Machinery, Junior Officers’ Quarters, Officers’ Quarters, CV-2. 3) Gallery Deck has CVE/CVL Exhibit, Captain’s Cabin, Combat Information, Center, Library, Ready Rooms. 4) Lower Decks have Chapel, Crew’s Galley, Engine Room, Pow Exhibit, Scale Model Gallery, Sick Bay, Dental Clinic. 5) Flight Deck has vintage aircraft, launch/landing control stations etc. We enjoyed sweeping, panoramic views of the entire North Beach coast from the flight deck. The museum has well-marked routes and informative volunteers. The food court is clean and provides a selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We also found our ideal souvenir from their gift shop. We spent about five hours fully exploring this place. A must-visit for history lovers and naval aviation enthusiasts.

Super chill experience with tons of learning. Not overcrowded which is always nice and incredible amount of information about the USS Lexington. Incredible women in Navy curation. It was excellent.

Good warship tour. Hard for me to get around all the spaces due to arthritis. The places I could see were great!
Really fun experience always love a Lexington. One thing is that some of the things last time went. They were kind of like broken.

Awesome piece of history. We took the kids on a rainy day and they had a blast, especially climbing the ladders. Wish we had more time to see everything, but there was a lot to see. Plan a half day.

That was amazing. It totally worth the price. We spent 3 hours there. If you came late, don’t waste your money, find another time to come. The explanation was clear and friendly. Lots of interesting exhibitions. We took some photos for the weather. All the staff were really kind.

Very cool and a great tribute to our veterans. If you're going below deck, be aware that it is narrow and lots of steep stairs. I'm glad my father, a vet, was able to see it, but I was concerned for him getting back to the main deck.
