Amazing visit of this floating museum and aircraft carrier with a great history. You can visit a lot on your own, but I highly recommend doing the guided tours. I had the chance to go on the engine room tour with Andrew, a veteran who served on this ship. He shared stories from life on the boat and real life situations he encountered. I will be back to see the remaining of the ship.
I traveled to the Bay area for a quick weekend getaway. The even I was there for didn't start for several hours, and I needed something to occupy myself with. I quickly found the USS Hornet on the map, and knew I needed to go. And I am grateful I did. $20 well spent! I spent the next several hours roaming the decks of this historic naval vessel. The ship itself is a sight to see, but learning more about it's history, and the impact it has had for the decades she served is even better. I highly recommend the guided tours they offer, but also suggest leaving time for yourself to roam the decks of this magnificent piece of history.
This is a great place for a father/son outgoing. My 14 year old and I took the tour down to the engine area. The volunteer leading the tour was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to share information and stories about the ship that made the tour feel extra special. There is one deck that you are able to tour almost the entire length of the ship, on your own. My son was glad we went and is looking forward to a return visit.
A well-maintained representation of US history. We went for Smithsonian Museum Day (highly recommend taking advantage of museum day), so tickets were complimentary. All of the docents were stationed on the USS Hornet at some point in their naval careers. The staff members we encountered were incredible friendly and ready to share their stories and knowledge. Our favorite spots were the flight deck, with its incredible view of the city, and the planes/NASA exhibits.In a previous year, we attended a company holiday party here and it was amazing. We got to ride the deck elevator that is usually reserved for transporting planes between the decks.
Several years ago I took my family to experience the USS Hornet and they really enjoyed it.They couldn't believe how narrow and steep the ladders, aka stairs, were. Moving from deck to deck was troublesome for some of the older visitors.Some of the areas were off limits but we were able to see majority of the ship. For example, we were able go inside the bridge and walk on the flight deck. We would highly recommend visiting the USS Hornet.
