Officer’s Holiday Tea Service 2025

Officer’s Holiday Tea Service 2025

Tickets Here

Bring family and friends and come aboard historic aircraft carrier USS Hornet for a holiday tea service in the Officers’ Wardroom!

The Hornet Museum welcomes you to our Officer’s Holiday Tea service! The service will be held in the historic aircraft carrier’s original Officers’ Wardroom, making use of real US Navy china! All proceeds from our event go to the continued care of the Museum’s exhibits and artifacts!

Tickets to the Tea Service include General Admission to the Museum. Museum Maps will be available in the Wardroom so you can tour the museum, which is open from 10AM – 5PM. You can arrive at any time before your tea service starts–simply show Admissions proof of event purchase and you will be allowed aboard. We are asking all attendees to gather by the Admissions Desk approximately 5 minutes before their service begins.

All parties of three or more people will be seated at separate tables–the tables comfortably seat 6 so we recommend parties of 3 to 6 people! Those smaller will be seated at a six-person table with a plastic divider between groups.

Museum Members get a 15% discount! For the Discount Code or to sign up for a membership, contact membership@uss-hornet.org or visit uss-hornet.org/support/membership

Please Note: The Wardroom where the event is hosted is down one deck from the main level of the Museum, and participants will need to use a steep stairwell and step over 8″ combings. For more information about the Museum’s accessibility, you can visit our website HERE.
