The Hornet Museum is bringing back their Officer's Holiday Tea services in time for the holiday season and perfect teatime weather! 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 our 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 six so we recommend parties of three to six people! Those smaller will be seated at a six-person table with a plastic divider between groups.

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.
