The USS Lexington Museum
June 25, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Not since the Battle of the Philippine Sea has the LEX come to life quite like this. The new Virtual Battle Stations are a truly interactive experience that thrusts you into the chaos and grit that was World War II. Harrowing challenges and climactic battles require your sharpest reflexes. It takes cunning tactics and nerves of steel to survive a day on the LEX. And these new Battle Stations are just a taste of what’s in store on the LEX. The Flight Simulator launches you into real combat, the MEGA Theater turns your seat into a cockpit and the control room… well… you’ll just have to see for yourself. Around every corner and down every tunnel, an adventure unfolds. The sights and sounds are so real… and so intense you become a part of the story the moment you climb aboard the USS LEXINGTON. It’s a complete interactive experience for the entire family. LEX is open daily at 9am with all areas except flight and hangar decks air-conditioned. Available for private functions as well as over-night youth camp-outs. 800-LADY-LEX, www.usslexington.com LEX. Go there.
