VIP Behind the Scenes Restoration Tour
Explore the ship early in the morning and receive a special 4 hour tour of areas onboard the USS Hornet Museum that have not yet been opened to the public or have limited daytime access! This includes areas such as Combat Information Center (CIC), Engine Room, Catapult Room, Arresting Gear Engine Room, Brig, and Message Center (Radio Central). Visitors are welcome to bring a flashlight with them, since you’ll get to explore dark hidden spaces even during the daytime! Following the guided tour guests are invited to explore the rest of the museum on their own when the tour ends.
