Yup, You Can Get on the USS Midway for Free
"The Midway Museum currently offers no information on free public access to the bow of the Midway," an arts blogger wrote in the U-T recently. San Diego Fact Check finds his claim is technically false: the floating museum, which is required to allow people to get on the aircraft carrier's bow at no cost, does let visitors know about this.
But truth be told, the museum isn't going out of its way to say: Hey, get on us for free! The signs are easy to miss and vaguely worded. The museum's CEO has even defended not making a big deal of the perk's existence: "It costs a couple million dollars a year to keep that ship looking as good as it does. And the reason why we've got that money is that people buy tickets."
