Everything was nicely laid out and way finding was clear. It was as good of an experience as I could have expected being that it is not your typical "fun" tourist attraction, it's more about learning and reflecting and being in the presence of a memorial including a very unique gravesite. They have things very organized and orderly when it comes to the boat ride experience and having real service members welcoming us on to the boats and driving us over to the memorial was unique. I appreciated the park rangers, it is run by the national park service and they did a great job. The displays and museums were informative and it's great to see so much history come alive in their displays throughout the exhibits. I appreciated the interactive elements and the explanations of such a complex period of history. Even my 8 yr old found some things to latch on to that interested him but in hindsight I think that this would have been a better trip for him for when he was older and maybe learning about this period of history in school. He has read the I Survived book about pearl harbor so he had that touch point for context but even then it is very complex for an 8 yr old. The amount of time you spend at the Arizona memorial was really the right amount of time and didn't seem too rushed. Overall we had a good day walking around and learning. I have visited as a teenager and don't remember getting to see the exhibits so this repeat visit was not a waste of time.

This visitor center, memorial, and flight museum is an incredible experience. It is not only educational but also offers a story of peace and maturity (which is a far cry from the atmosphere at the museum in Hiroshima Japan, understandably) Visiting on Pearl Harbor remembrance Day was a moving and beautiful experience. The submarine experience is a bit pricey, but the two small museum rooms are interactive and educational. The flight museum is well worth the visit, highly recommend this portion! The USS Arizona is an incredibly moving experience, we were fortunate to attend an intimate memorial ceremony like no other. The iconic tower has been refurbished and open for the first time in a half century, if you get a chance to go up into the tower, do not pass it up! They have also built a terrace on the base of the tower for events with signage about the views and history, as well as a cool video screen explaining the attacks in a detailed timeline. Very well done! The gift shop has a wide variety of merchandise and offers something for everyone. Bring a hat and sun protection as it gets hot and sunny with little shade. Even if you are not a history buff, this is a must visit!

Visiting Pearl Harbor is a deeply moving and profoundly patriotic experience that honors the bravery, sacrifice, and resilience of America’s heroes. Each site—the USS Missouri, the Pacific Aviation Museum, the USS Bowfin Submarine, and the USS Arizona Memorial—offers a unique window into the history of World War II, stirring pride and gratitude for those who served.

Starting with the USS Missouri, standing on the deck of “Mighty Mo” feels like stepping onto sacred ground. This is where...

A dream come true! What a way to go back in time. In order to visit the military base you can catch one of the buses in Waikiki. Number 20 and 42 stop at Pearl harbor. The ride costs you 3 dollars and it takes around 40 minutes to get there. There is also a parking lot. If you would like to explore everything you need to arrive early. There is a lot to see. You can buy a combo ticket for around 80 dollars which will give you access to all the places or you can buy individual tickets for...

This was a very informative and moving experience. When visiting, you do not need to purchase an expensive guided tour. To visit the USS Arizona Memorial, you will need reservation tickets. These can be found on Reservation.gov. There is a $1.00 processing fee to purchase. Most tickets available for purchase are released well ahead of the current date. If there are no tickets available for your preferred date, more tickets are released at 3 pm each day for the following day. We...
