This is a place you must visit if you are coming all this way to Hawaii. If only to show respect to those thousand of people who died on that tragic day. When you are in the memorial site you can feel the sadness that surrounds that day.

First I would say that if you can, determine what form of transportation that would work for you best. There are some advantages to taking a rental car or a tour bus. Car gives you flexibility and more time there, but if you set up a tour ahead of time you are will have a ticket and you do not... More

This was a very important site which has become too commercialised. Everything was hustle and bustle and not enough reverence was shown

We arrived around 13:00h to Pearl Harbour and we’ve leant it was pretty late. To visit USS Arizona we have been put on a waiting cue but managed to get in. This was the last tour. It starts with a movie and then the boat trip to USS Arizona Memorial, all free of charge. Watching the movie I had the... More

We had to visit Pearl Harbor, it is a bit of a surreal experience, to think that this place and the events changed the world forever. If you visit here I would recommend that aside from the Arizona memorial visit the Mighty Mo and take the tour. It is amazing when you find out where this ship has been and... More

It was somewhere we had always wanted to visit and we're glad we did. We had a pre-booked tour which was good because on the day, tickets to the memorial were all gone. You cannot take bags, purses, backpacks and camera bags etc onto the grounds and memorial... they must be checked in to storage. The 20 minute video in... More

If you travel to Oahu, visiting the USS Arizona Memorial is a must. I visited it many years ago when I was stationed at Kaneohe, Oahu. I went with a friend who's uncle is located in the Arizona and is listed on the wall. As he told me about his uncle, an older Japanese gentlemen was standing next to us... More

We signed up for tour of Pearl Harbor and historical city. It was approximately 4 hours and very enjoyable. We did nit pay the extra $10 to take close look at submarine and we did not go on the Missouri. - We were happy with our choice but if you want to do more it may be best for you... More

Very moving experience- the film and the memorial are very touching. The memorial park, the memorial itself, and the other visitor information available make this an easy, economical attraction for all visitors to Oahu.

This place is a must see if you are staying on Oahu. The military has a great presence in Hawaii, this memorial was incredibly informative and enlightening. I would definatley recommend booking a tour through your Hotel or Polynesian Adventure Tours if this is your first visit if you are short on time as it hits the main attractions. I... More
