This is the perfect place to get a history lesson about America's entry into WW2. My wife, who is not much into history, learned a lot during the film viewing of what happened that fateful Sunday morning. Entrance to the USS Arizona memorial is free and we went there by just riding bus 42 from our hotel in Waikiki. We... more

Well worth a visit when on Oahu. Beware the new Visitor Centre is currently in construction so the existing centre is somewhat resembles a building site. The USS Missouri is also closed being dry docked for maintenance until January 2010. Good excuse to plan another trip to Oahu! more

A wonderful way to learn about history, from the emotion of the film and memorial, to the childish fun playing in the submarine and battleship sections outside. This can be a very cheap trip by public bus and you can visit much of the site free of charge. This version of the trip takes half a day. Go early whatever... more

Pear Harbor and the Arizona Memorial is a very reverent place, so many lost their lives here form both sides. On a quite sunday morning 68 yrs ago,horror broke out in moments. Distruction took place in fleeting moments and people were dead or injured all around you. This is a memorial in which one learns so much about our past... more

I visit this memorial every time I go to Oahu. But be warned if you are traveling with people who have trouble walking: the ticket area and such are under construction. They are building a new center. This is great, however, you have to walk all the way over to the Bowfin to get your tickets then walk all the... more

Pearl Harbor is a must see. There are free tickets to USS Arizona on first come first serve basis for each time slot. You wont need the tours, audio or otherwise, unless English is not your native language. Make sure to enter it into any rental car GPS as "USS Arizona", and not Pearl Harbor . . . otherwise you'll... more

Pearl harbor was the one thing I HAD to do in Oahu and it was incredible. The experience of actually being at the Arizona Memorial and seeing the 'black tears' was amazing and humbling. The only down side to the tour was the tour itself. We signed up at our hotel with Polynesian Adventures and wouldn't do it again. After... more

It was our first time to the memorial. I was quite suprised at how quiet and respectful everyone was. If you haven't been, it really brings into light what happened at the harbor, and what could have possibly been done to neautralize the attack. They are beginning a remodeling of the memorial that should make the experience that much more... more

Found that this was a very interesting day trip. The memorial in itself is quite humbling to see and review. Found the USS Missouri just so fascinating, to see how these men spent their everyday life on this massive ship - yet in for the most part in very tight quarters to say the least. The avaition museum was quite... more
