A truly fun experience is to check out the USS Hornet Museum, a retired aircraft carrier that can now be explored by visitors. There are multiple levels to the ship, and you can even watch a plane get lifted up to the flight deck. The tour guides are extremely informative, probably because they are former navy personnel. This ship was used to pick up the Apollo 11 astronauts after returning from the moon.
