What a surreal experience. The oil is still slowly seeping up leaving slicks on the surface that are very colorful. The room at the back of the memorial displays the names of all of the souls entombed below. Something anyone and everyone should experience.

Fantastic place to visit. Everyone that we met their were very informative, helpful and friendly. Everything was very well done. The introductory movie had actual footage from the attack and information I had not known before. The Arizona memorial itself was awe inspiring and yet very solemn. What an honor it was to have been able to visit.

This tour and museum never disappoint. They are engaging and informative. Its a short boat ride to the memorial, go in the early morning and sit toward the front of the boat if youre prone to seasickness. Get tickets online or the day of at 7am. Its a humbling experience to realize what others gave up for our country.

Beautiful memorial with great views of the harbor and Ford Island. Theres plenty of parking here and is also easily accessible by bus. Numbers 20 and 42 will bring you here from Waikiki at a cost of $5.50 for a day pass. Its strictly a no bag policy anywhere whilst inside the memorial and on the island so just dont bring one. If you do bring a bag then youll have to pay $5 per bag to store it for the day. We arrived early in the morning, just as the park was opening. I would recommend doing the same as you entitle yourself to the free tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial. This is free anyway but at this time theres less crowds and you watch a short video with a bit of extra information from rangers. Once this was done we went on a short boat ride to the memorial itself spending approximately 15 minutes there and then came back to the centre. From here we got the shuttle across to the Missouri Memorial where we were able to look around and got guided tours included in the price of the ticket. It is truly a brilliant place to spend the day learning about history and paying your respects to those who lost their lives.

Very good looking, spacious with a nice sight off the submarine, the USS Missouri and the USS Arizona memorial. The staff is very nice and the shuttle to Ford island was really clean and comfortable. During this pandemic they are taking very good measure to protect both their staff and us. Theyll clean frequently touch areas of the bus before every embarking and they ensure distance to tour guides with markings on the floor. It has been a great experience even though the USS Arizona memorial is closed as of now. Now that the place is more empty than usual, I was able to take very nice pictures and go at my own pace.

Amazing place to visit. Now is a great time for locals, as it will never be as quiet as it is now. Excellent way to experience the attack, how and why it happened, and a glimpse into the lives lost that day. Highly recommend.

Visited Pearl Harbor today, not many people were there I think do to covid-19. Normally has a 25 minute film prior to the Arizona Memorial shuttle but not doing it now to to observe social distancing.

Honoring and remembering everyone who died that day is done in a beautiful way at this memorial.

An amazing tribute to our heros. Definitely put this on your list of things to do.

A very sobering experience. While the dock to the Arizona Memorial was closed for repairs, we did get a narrated tour of Battleship Row following a movie in an air conditioned theater. The boat was covered which was nice and combine the cover with a moving boat, made of a cool ride around the harbor and both the right and left side of the boat was treated to a good view of the memorial despite not being able to actually get on the memorial. Very good experience and definitely something to experience if you are in the area.

Theres nowhere better to feel a sense of pride and admiration for the American people and the military. Seeing this is a must for everyone thats studied about World War II. The memorial boasts of one ship still under the water with much of its honorable crew still in it. Must see if in Hawaii.

It is an amazing and yet chilling travel back into the history of December 7th 1941. Another must do family oriented thing to do. There is walking through the USS Missouri ship and climbing down the ladder stairs backwards. Which I loved. The USS Arizona is a lovely memorial dedicated to the men that perished that day. A must experience in person to feel the totality of that day.

A must stop for all visiting the Arizona Memorial Boat trip. Buy your tickets in advance and afterwards allocate plenty of time to view all this wonderful museum has to offer. Later the gift shop will provide many opportunities to satisfy your desire to take home some souvenirs to go along with the memories.

A good place for reflection and remeberence. Its one thing to read about it in a book, but being able to interact with the environment, see with your own eyes, touch with your hands is something youll remember for a lifetime. If you come to Oahu, make time to visit this historical place.

This was so educational. Im sorry that so much of the site was closed because of Covid 19 but they opened up the museum and the Submarine tour while we were on the island and it was very eye opening to go and see this historic site. Im sure Ill be going back when the whole site is open.

Great experience. Everyone should take time to remember and honor those who lost their lives while serving. It’s an amazing story of how the US came together over such a great tragedy.Disappointed that the Arizona Memorial is closed until this fall (2019). You can still see the film and take a short ride in the harbor, but not the same as stepping foot onto the memorial.Get there early - before 0700. Arizona tickets are free. Other areas of the museum cost various amounts, depends on what you want to see.

I enjoy the Missouri battleship and the Arizona memorial...this place really puts in perspective the effect of war and the story of how usa was dragging into the ww. Sometimes things needs to be shown to appreciate the gravity of the events and this definitely does that. Its a must when visiting the island. Be sure to go through all the buildings.

They just reopened to the public and havent been here for over 40 years. Its must visit... Thank you all for your service and ultimate sacrifice. Aloha...

The history displayed helps us to only catch a glimpse of the struggles that our military men and women lived thru. You can only admire their strength and fortitude they are truly The Greatest Generation .

Seeing Pearl Harbor is something I will never forget. Both of my parents have served our country. Being able to bring back memorabilia and pictures for them to see. It was just amazing. Its so informative with the history of this place.

Very well run by the parks service in cooperation with the USN. Tickets go quickly so get there early if you werent able to get one of the handful available by online reservation the previous day. There are many artifacts, viewing areas, and exhibits about the entire a events if you arent able to make it out to the USS Arizona.The USS Missouri and the Pacific Aviation Museum are both well worth the trip on their own. The Aviation Museum is a bit pricy but active military and veterans receive discounts.

This is a place that every single American should take the time to visit. You wont understand the importance of what happened until youve been there and seen it for your own eyes. Im proud to be an American and I appreciate the dedication to our Country that fellow Americans put their lives on the line to protect our freedom. Be sure to bring sunscreen as it can be really hot. Make sure you check in right as you get there to get your ticket for the USS Arizona as they only give out a limited number of tickets each day. Enjoy!

Everyone should see what happened here. We need world peace...

Very informative, historic, educational, and a MUST SEE! I got here at 6.55, waited in line for 10min, and then walked in and got my ticket for the Arizona. You cant physically walk on it right now(12/26/18) but they take you on a boat near it and explain it.I got the $72.00 tour online direct from the Pearl Harbor website. It includes the following- USS ARIZONA, BATTLESHIP MISSOURI, PEARL HARBOR AVIATION, AND THE USS BOWFIN SUBMARINE. Worth every penny. I left the monument at closing, so it was a whole day worth.No purses, bags, or backpacks allowed. Bottled water/water bottles are allowed, and I TOTALLY RECOMMEND! There are places to refill your bottle, and bottles(only) are allowed in places. They didnt check me, and I carried in 2 RX Bars to eat. Hot Dogs, Pizza, Corn Dogs start at $6.00.

So much to experience at these amazing sites. From the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the surrender on the USS Missouri and everything in between. An amazing history lesson and a place to remember and honor those who helped defend our freedom. If youre on Oahu, dont pass up the chance to visit all the sites Pearl Harbor has to offer.

Staff is incredible despite the shutdown. Doing their very best. God bless park rangers!

We havent been here since 2003. With the crowds highly reduced, we gave it a shot. So much more to hear and see.

This place is a must see if you go to Hawaii. The U.S.S. Arizona was closed for construction, but it was still beautiful. There was also a rooster wandering around the parking lot. He was good enterainment while we waited for our shuttle bus!

Do not miss this while in Hawaii! The USS Arizona Memorial is still closed to to repair, but the boat still runs you by it. Visit the beautiful harbor tributes just inside by the visitor’s plaza. There’s a snack shop and gift shop there as well. Buy the passes that give you access to all the memorials like the aviation museum, USS Missouri, and submarine, it’s cheaper. Tickets to the USS Arizona are free on the day you arrive if you get there before or around 7 am. Avoid the shopping booths of jewelry just outside the submarine; I felt that it cheapened the experience.

Ive heard about and seen photos, news, movies about Pearl Harbor all my life but seeing the memorial in person (at 55 years old) was an incredible experience. The ticket to Ride the boat to see the memorial is free, but it will cost you to tour the Bowfin, about $13 for an adult, and the Missouri battleship, about $30 per adult. I recommend both. We arrived at 7am and left around 230pm to see 3 of the four sights. The fourth was the Aviation museum, but we were too tired to tour it. All in all the trip to the Arizona memorial was the highlight, or lowlight when you know there are over 1000 graves just below the water. The tour guide was superb. Pointing out small but stunning details about that horrible Sunday morning.

Its best tribute to the hero’s of world war II. Now they don’t allow you to walk over the USS Arizona memorial. One should not miss the free movie and boat ride. The last movie and boat ride is by 2:45PM. If you reach thereafter 3 you gonna miss it but u can go to the submarine on the other side, but its paid. If you are students you can ask for some discounts. They didn’t mentioned it on display but they will give you some discount on student card.

A piece of the history of States, Japan empire and WWII. We respectfully visit the memorial and some museums. Not too much to say. Something to be visited to never forgot the continued history of human barbarie during centuries.

An absolutely beautiful place to visit. The solemnity that fills a person in a place like this remarkable. When you are here you can’t help but reflect on the many lives lost here.The site is well laid out and easy to get around. They offer places to eat and drink as well as gift shops.

This place is amazing! All the exhibits really bring out the history of Pearl Harbor, and the events that transpired. There is so much to see and learn, and it can literally take you all day to see it all. The best part is they are still adding to it, which gives you an incentive to return at a later date.

Pearl Harbor is a must see. There is no fee to the visitor center and the boat ride to the USS ARIZONA Memorial is free but you do need a free ticket to reserve a seat on the boat. The National Park Guides do an amazing job leading the tours. They are well versed in the history of Pearl Harbor and the battle. I would recommend the introductory Pearl Harbor video, just to get your mind ready for the significant of the site you are about to tour and walk around. You can spend a lot of time just walking around this national park, but don’t miss the boat tour to the USS ARIZONA. It is an amazing tour of the harbor and the scared ground of the USS ARIZONA.

What can I say? This has been on my bucket list for a long time, no matter how many times Ive seen videos or pictures, they will never come close to being there in person. Such an incredible memorial to the service members that lost their lives that day. I love history, but I learned quite a bit about that day that I didnt know before.

As I gazed at the USS Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor today my heart was touched. I was reminded of the brave men and women in the Armed Forces who serve our great country so we can continue the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Great place of history to remind ourselves that we shall never ever go to war sacrificing even one life.... The great value of those place had been hammered down from the food trucks, service at the did stores after forcing is to leave our bags outside.... It is very very dad. My biggest advice to all, NEVER rely on their food service, take your own snacks and drinks, ask for a PLASTIC BAG (s) at the Baggage Counter to carry ask your food inside...

Our initial entrance guide was awesome very personable and friendly. The short video before we the ride to the memorial was informative and the best part, had AC. It was a very sober experience to see the huge wall of names of our Navy boys. It was nice to be able to pay our respects

This was a somber and moving experience. There’s plenty to see, but I was a little surprised how small this area is that carried so much weight in getting the US into WWII. You can see slot for free or buy a ticket package to get in the USS Missouri, Bowfin Submarine and other areas. There is no entrance fee to the park itself. They have souvenirs and good/drinks available.Please hit “Like” if this was helpful. Thanks.

While the memorial bridge is closed, this is still Ana amazing reminder of the grave sacrifice our brave men and women made in our place... asleep in their racks the morning of the attack, and suddenly launched in to war without warning. We will never be able to pay the men and women of our military back for their sacrifice.

Highly recommended. Two indoor exhibitions and an outdoor walk of freedom along the harbor coast. All wheelchair accessible. Free to visit the park, but you have to pay and have a reservation to go to the memorial.

Bring Kleenex!!! I cried a few times. Very emotional. I am so grateful to those that have served and are serving our beautiful country! Thank you!️️Book your tickets in advance, it’s only $1 per ticket to reserve. Do your research though because there are MULTIPLE museums and my ticket was only for the USS Arizona memorial. You could spend an entire day here.

The staff was very helpful in getting you were you need to go and the experience of the USS arizona was just breathtaking, definitely recommended

Very moving experience! We took advantage of the free tickets to see the movie and take the ferry to the USS Arizona memorial. Short visit but well worth it. A lot of other tours were available (that cost money), but we came to the memorial during a layover between Maui and Kauai and only had a few hours.

Really somber yet beautiful spot. I just went onto the harbor to look out and pay respect to those listed on the memorial. I also walked through this little museum that was extremely informative and answered all the questions I had. The whole thing makes sense now! Also these were free! So I felt totally satisfied with this trip!

The visitors center is great. Lots of interesting World War in the Pacific things to see. A memorial to all the lost submarines of WWII. The USS Bowfish can be boarded for a fee. Displays of various torpedoes. The con of the WWII Parche. Periscopes. Japanese mini sub. Snack bar with large covered eating area. Rest rooms. Gift Shop. And much more.

I visited here just before Thanksgiving and the weather was still perfect for viewing this amazing memorial. I study US History and I have always wanted to visit. The staff and volunteers are great and most are veterans themselves. I had no idea that active duty Navy sailors actually run the boat out to the USS Arizona so that was a really cool experience and those guys must really feel honored to help sustain these memories. A lot of the plaques and historical info thats out in the sun facing the harbor is faded out and look like it needs a little more love but I can understand how hard it is to keep this funded. Other than that, the short video before the boat ride was great and it doesnt cost anything to go view. I hope this stays for years to come and the docks to the USS Arizona get fixed so people can go onto it once more.

Pearl Harbor is amazing. Ive always wanted to visit, but never realized how humbling the experience is until arriving. It really brings history to life. You can picture yourself there the day of the attack.Thankful for the opportunity. It was a great experience and worth the wait in line and fees to get the full pass to everything.We did NOT use a tour company. We just went direct. I would recommend that, as then you can do it all on your schedule.

Plan for a whole day. So much to see and do. Get there early as spots for The Arizona Memorial run out quick on busy days. Be sure to grab some lunch at the Aviation Museum. It was a pleasant surprise.

Excellent park with no charge into some parts and charges into others. You can watch the movie and catch the boat to the USS Arizona memorial at no cost. Its very educational and well presented with clear facts about the event and the aftermath. The museum can be visited before the film and this is also free and it sets out the whole conflict in great detail.The tour of the submarine and submarine museum has a charge but it is well worth the money. You get headsets that explain the sub in great detail as you walk through it. It has been restored to a near perfect representation of how it was in WW2. The museum is also very well laid out and covers all the way up to the nuclear subs that first went under the polar ice caps.Definitely recommended for anyone who likes to see great machines and learn about the past. If this is useful please like!

Real reviews. We went stright into the movie, and you exit right to the boat that takes you to the Arazona memorial. It is exactly as you would imagine. Somber, amazing, informative. We took a tour which didnt give us quite enough time. The museum on the land side is well worth a visit and youll need some time here. Can easily spend and hour or two. More if you want to see the sub, and /or the battleship Missouri. Stories from witnesses, survivors, videos, exhibits and memorabilia. Very moving. You CAN bring in ONLY CLEAR BAGS AND CLEAR BOTTLES WITH WATER. Plenty of bathrooms on the mainland by museum & gift shop. Snacks available also.

The staff is so nice. The memorial itself is outstanding. If youve never been here come and learn more about history. Its worth it.

Somber and reflective. Powerful reminder of wars devastation. A must visit when in Oahu.

If you ever find yourself in Honolulu you MUST visit Pearl Harbor. The history of it and the exhibits were AWESOME!!!!! Even though we couldnt get onto the USS Arizona the boat ride was an awesome experience. It was narrated by a man who was just a 10 year old child AND PRESENT at the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He actually saw it and relived it as he spoke to us. Simply INCREDIBLE.

A must visit for everyone who travels to Hawaii. We got our free tickets to USS Arizona reserved online the day before (they release the tickets at 7am Hawaii Time, and they get sold out very quickly), and the effort was worth it. Very educational, for both adults and kids. USS Missouri is also worth the ticket price and time -- she participated in multiple major wars for the United States and is a piece of history herself.

Really great way to teach us about the history of PH.Gift shop had no free bags though .

We visited the visitor centre w/o doing any tour. You have to pay for the tours which takes you on a boat to the memorial and visit the ship. The visitor centre is free of charge and you can see the memorial from the bay which we did. The visitor centre is well done and takes you through its history and events. It closes by 5pm,and has a free car park. Really nicely done.

Pearl Harbour was a good experience to learn about the history of the US and Hawaii. Coming from Australia it was nice to hear and indulge in the American history different from ours. Family friendly, I really thought they were all strict with bags and checking you, metal detectors etc. but they’re not. Booked the Pearl Harbour + Honolulu City Tour with the Peal Harbour Visit site for my family and I. We couldn’t enter the USS Arizona Memorial unfortunately because the dock was under construction. Wasn’t worth my money much as the main site we all wanted to see was the Arizona Memorial. We came here in June/Summer which is a busy time so they should’ve maintained or reconstructed the dock or anything else in less busy times of the year... March maybe? Not December/Christmas/ any holiday or important time of the year. Other than that our tour guide Patrick was very friendly and nice. Snacks were cheap at the store, gift shop is tax free.

This is a lovely place, unfortunately the Arizona Memorial is still not open. Each exhibit must be paid separately, so take enough cash. If you do all of the exhibits you will spend a good 4 hours there. I was lucky enough to meet 2 of the survivors the day that I went, they are usually there on Sundays.

Thank you for your service.God bless the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Everyone should pay their respects and tour this historic site. Learn the reason we are who we are.

Great place to go if you love history and want to honor ones who died. The headset is so informative. It makes you feel as you are there

A tremendous tribute to all the men and women who lost their lives here. The museums have great detail. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Allow an entire day if you plan to do the entire base. Missouri and Utah require shuttles from the visitor center. Included here are some pics of the park and the USS Bowfin which is close to the visitor center but has an additional $15 charge per person. My wife and I felt it was worth the money.

Sobering to surround yourself with the sacrifices of generations past. My teenagers were deeply moved and my sixteen year old was disappointed at many of his generation taking selfies. His statement as we stood over the sunken USS AZ was, this is a sacred place, I could never take a picture.

This place was such a treat! Great people working and such an amazing experience to go and see places that mean so much to our American heritage and history. Just bummed that the u.s.s. Arizona memorial wasnt able to be boarded due to construction. Maybe next time!

What a fantastic place to learn about Pearl Harbor history. A must visit!We arrived here on a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. Got our tickets straight away for 2.45.Definitely one of the must visit places in Oahu.

Impressive of what the museum and surrounding this harbour present to us. If felt like you are one of the soldiers back to 1941. Highly recommended if you love the history.

Spent a good couple of hours here. Unfortunately Arizona Memorial is closed for the start of 2019 for repairs. The 20min film was well made and balanced and worth a watch. Also paid extra ($15 I think) to go on the submarine which was fascinating

We stayed in down town, so took one of the tourist packages. The driver was kind. Except for the Pearl Harbor visit, the rest of them offered in this package are not worth the money. Although visit to Pearl Harbor made me give four stars to the tourist package too. A very emotional short film is played before you start your trip. My 7 yr old loved the movie and rest of the visit. Some areas were under construction when we went. So, couldn’t get the best feeling that many others got. Never the less, it was one of the best experiences during our trip to the islands.

So wonderful. I highly recommend getting tickets to the monument early (we missed out). Also a MUST is the audio tour, it adds a whole new meaning to it.

I visited recently for the first time, and the staff was so very welcoming. The displays are just incredible and will just leave you speechless. Thank you to those who have served and are serving.

Wow. It was a truly moving experience to visit Pearl Harbor. The movie and boat ride through Battleship Row are alone worth the trip. I was a little bummed that the USS Arizona memorial was closed, but I understand. Still, Im very glad I went.

Amazing memorials! Definitely a place to pay your respects

Mind blowing and very informative if kinda expensive.

Great place to go and learn about your history and the sacrifices of so many.

Very sober and calm. The provided movie is also pretty good. It was nice getting a more detailed story of what events took place here. It was very unnerving seeing the Arizona underwater, knowing that many people were still inside. I very much recommend this place

Very humbling experience to see the site of this national tragedy. Extremely cool to get to meet some WWII Vets that are around the memorial. The museum is really interesting with in depth details of the attack and Military knowledge. The USS Arizona Memorial was a moving experience in itself. There is still oil leaking from the ship to this day with hundreds of souls still on board. This place is a must see for anyone visiting or living in Oahu.

Great Experience. Loved the audio tour. Didnt get tickets ahead of time, would recommend that if possible, but still got tickets because we came earlier in the mid morning.

Great historical landmark, i recommend anyone who is able to go and see it. It is well worth the money and trip. Free to get in $5 to store your purse or backpack only wallets and phone allowed inside. There are a few tours you can pay for or just walk thru the museum for free. Well worth it tho. always nice to learn about history.

So much history and honor on this site. Really brings you to tears to be in such a monumental location. Learning about this in history class years & years ago, doesnt compare to actually be here in person.

I visited the USS Missouri when I was here and it was an enjoyable experience. Im not particularly crazy about military museums or artillery or ships to be honest, but it was a opening to walk around the warship. Its like a little city on its own inside - besides living quarters and the canteen, there was also a dentist, legal department, IT room, ironworks shop etc. the volunteer who explained the history behind the ship and the surrender deck was also very passionate and well-informed

DONT BRING ANYTHING WITH YOU. They charge $5.00 to store your purse/backpacks- which are not allowed. The free displays and videos are informative and provide a variety of perspectives on the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbour. Bathrooms are small and only a few snacks available, so plan ahead.

An historical location which has been restored and presented well to honor the lives lost here on December 7, 1941. We remember the sacrifices that the men and women who served and thank them for their service.This memorial serves as a reminder of sufferings of war but was also the catalyst that built the Superpower that America is today.

This is worth a visit. We bought the passport which got you to the Arizona memorial (which is free ordinarily but you are competing with anyone else who shows up), the battleship, the air museum (eat here - good and plentiful), and the submarine. If you are going to read all the displays, it is pretty much an all day visit with the passport.

This was an informative and humbling place to visit as it shaped the future of our country.We stopped by the ticket counter the day before and the park ranger gave us priority tickets because we are military. Parking was easy to find and the wait for our tour was short.The movie was excellent and taught me a few things I didnt know. The Arizona memorial was closed for construction but the harbor tour put the story in perspective. The memorial garden had interesting pieces of Navy and Japanese equipment.I would advise getting the headset before the movie and boat tour because you will be dropped off right at the memorial walk which is where most of the information is located.Some of the areas were not as kept up as you would expect a national landmark to be.

Friendly and informative. If youre driving leave your bags/backpacks in car as they are not allowed inside memorial.

A must do if you’re visiting Oahu. The history here is quite amazing to learn about, the memorial is something everyone should witness. Seeing the USS Arizona in person was impactful. The oil still leaks from the boat, and you are able to see the parts of the ship.

Goosebumps!!! December 7th, 1941...a day that will live in infamy...The tributes/memorials and tours were able to memorialize a tragedy in such a beautiful and tasteful manner that one could feel Proud to be an American despite the devastation of that day. A Must See if you can make it to Honolulu!!! There are so many heroes, those that paid the ultimate sacrifice, those the valiantly fought back, those that risked their own safety to help fellow servicemen and civilians, and their families as well. This was a day that was meant to destroy a nation, instead it simply fueled the Patriotism inside of soldiers and civilians alike and made them determined to protect their homeland no matter what the cost.Majority of areas at Pearl Harbor are handicap accessible. There are ample restrooms, drinks, food, snacks, and memorabilia available. If you have enough time you could spend an entire day exploring every inch. I would estimate if youre with an all Adult group you will easily spend 3-4 hours here or more. Place this on your Bucket list!!!If you found this review helpful I would appreciate it if you would like itThank you!!!

A haunting and engaging trip. The audio tour is well worth it. Somewhat hard to follow their path, however.

Beautiful memorial. A must see. Unfortunately, we could not go into the Arizona memorial. I guess it maybe under construction and is closed. Dont take any bags or purses or you will have to take them back to your car. I was disappointed that they did not have wheelchairs available for use. If you want to see inside the submarine it is an additional charge. Very peaceful place.

An amazing place to visit. If you ever get the chance please dont hesitate, take it.

A must see place that should be at the top of your list when visiting Oahu. A great place to learn and remember what happened in history. As a history buff, I was able to learn a lot more and have it have a much more significant impact on me due to the gravity of being there in person. It is also a great place for families with kids of all ages with plenty to see and explore. This place makes history come alive!

If you want to experience what it was like Pearl Harbor in 1941 you need to visit the memorial site. They will have movies photos another memorabilia displayed. The Educated Park Rangers will help guide you through the tour. Or you can opt out and do the audio self-guided tour.There are several Memorial sites at this one Visitor Center. You have the USS Arizona USS bowfin USS Missouri.There are plenty of indoor activities. Their snack shops and souvenirs.We did the USS Arizona Memorial who wants to about a 30-minute film and took a 30-minute boat ride out over the boat. We were able to see the remains of the Arizona and drive past the Missouri with plenty of photo opportunities at both sites.The history in the sacredness of this spot and locations is well conveyed and felt.This is a great Memorial site to bring young and old they will enjoy it.The tenacity of these men and the area during those long days and years to follow is shown in this Memorial site.Im honored I had the opportunity to come and visit and share my brief experience. You will enjoy your visit.

Very emotional place, be sure to take your free visit to the Arizona and film, Well worth it. Get your tickets first thing when you arrive, it fills up fast and is every half hour.

This is a must-see when in Honolulu. I knew the basics about Pearl Harbor, but was too young to really understand a lot of it. When you come here, it changes you and really moves you. The tour begins with a video explaining how everything happened. When you get to the memorial, its hard not to picture yourself as one of the sailors that was there that dreadful day.The memorial is beautiful. Seeing all of the remnants of the ships is incredible. Theyre massive. Its hard not to picture what it used to look like before that day. Someone at the memorial had said to remember that the ships below are not only sunken ships....theyre a graveyard. He was right. They couldnt recover all of the bodies, so some of their bodies are still underneath the memorial.The wall showing all of the names of people lost was moving. It brought me to tears. Seeing each of those names, you want to read them all and think of who they were as people. Its absolutely breathtaking and worth every moment you get to spend there.We also did the submarine tour which was awesome. Very, very tight quarters, but amazing. You dont get that opportunity too often. It was amazing to see all the details and what they put into such tiny little spaces to make it seem relatively big.This cant go unvisited!

The NPS has done a great job with this memorial. The displays are engaging, informative, and beautiful. The USS Arizona Memorial was closed for repairs, but the entire site was still worth the visit.

Great memorial honoring the stack on Pearl Harbor. There tour starts with a very well done film documenting the day which then heads to the boat ride to the memorial. Very well done.

What a sobering reality. Well done. The sadness of war in such a beautiful place memorialized. You almost feel like you were there as you hear story after story that youve never heard before.

Very nice well kept place lots of American lives lost here also still entombed in USS Arizona.

You can take bus number 20 or 42 from Waikiki early in the morning like 7am. The Arizona memorial and the movie in the theatre from visitor centre is free, you can get the museum ticket on site. Instead of joining tour, this is the way to bring the cost lower for the trip. The whole Park is worth to visit. And the movie was great to understand to history.
