USS Lexington Museum on the Bay

(800)LADYLEX. www.usslexington.com. Modern-day access to this ship is via a long, gradually sloped ramp with an electric cart available for those who can't make the walk. You now enter at hangar deck level with the gift shop to your left and museum displays all over the place. Take special note of the fine wooden models of airplanes for sale in the gift shop. Many areas are air conditioned (parts of the hangar deck are open to the air) and the IMAX theater presents showings in comfort. Restroom facilities are up-to-date with a handicap access facility on the hangar deck. Beware for the high steps you need to make to pass through water tight door ways. If you can't manage all the stairs, you can still have a nice visit. Many displays feature talking maniquins that are so realistic one caused me to jump about a foot off the deck. A surprise for sure!

Reduced prices for children, tour groups and seniors.

The Lexington is a WWII-era aircraft carrier that is being converted into a Navy Museum. On the ship, you will see the bridge, captains' quarters, sailors' quarters, flight deck, hanger deck, the pilots ready room, the mess hall, sick bay, and much, much more.

One of Corpus Christi's top attractions, the USS Lexington has served longer in war and peace than any other carrier. This is a prime location for family fun, school field trips, military reunions, and much more. Note: The USS Lexington is nicknamed the "Blue Ghost" because of Japan's numerous claims of sinking her. Every night, the "Blue Ghost" of World War II fulfills her legend in Dress Blues. An awesome sight, day or night.
