We greatly enjoyed visiting the USS Missouri. It was interesting, had great visual impact and gave us a lot of history. My 10 year old loved it but even my 7 year old was excited walking the deck and touring the interior (they were both astounded by the bunk and mess hall areas). Highly recommend a visit as part of the Pearl Harbor experience!

I love WWII history. This is a must stop in Oahu. Recommend the guided tour. After the 35 minute tour, you are able to walk throughout the battleship. It is truly magnificent. The large guns and knowing what they shot at. Enjoyed the surrender deck and the history that occurred there, end of the war.

One of the things you can do in the Pearl complex. Cost around $38 per person and includes a free tour of the ship. You must take a bus from the main area to get to the ship. My father in a wheelchair and he was able to do most of the tour. Honestly, you could do the tour as often as you wanted. Each tour guide has a bit of a different spin. If you are able body you can tour on your own many other areas that are not part of the tour. Glad we did it.

It was breathtaking to see the physical spot to end the WWII, the document, and the inside of the ship. The tour was so nicely designed for us to follow the route easily and vision a huge vessel with the full function in it. The complimentary tour on the ship was also informative to guide us through the main historical events.

The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed seeing and hearing about the history about the ship. The tour was laid out well. Going inside the turret and bridge was really cool. How did they fit in all those tight spaces.

This was a multi-generation vacation to Oahu. All of us really enjoyed our visit to the Battleship Missouri. I really appreciated the ramps that were available to push my wife in her wheel chair up and aboard. Once aboard we waited for a docent led tour of the Ship. He was very informative and really set the tone for our tour. Following his guided tour we felt comfortable exploring the remainder of the ship. Due to how the ship is constructed for water tight integrity my wife could not tour the inside but she really enjoyed that which she could tour. Meanwhile the rest of us climbed up & down several ladders to check out how life aboard the "Mighty MO" must have been.

We chose the Battleship Missouri Memorial over the submarine museum as we only had the afternoon to spend at Pearl Harbor. Visiting the battleship filled in the whole afternoon and we left about 30 minutes before closing. We took one of the brief free tours, which gave us the history of the battleship and was really interesting. We set out to explore by ourselves and we could have spent hours winding our way through he depths of the ship. Highly recommend the Battleship Missouri Memorial if you are choosing between the paid attractions at Pearl Harbor.

We did the shortest tour and it was great. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate. I think her name was Lindsey, she was from Missouri, ironically. The basic tour explains the range, batteries, the location of the signing of japans surrender, and the kamikaze strike. After the tour you are free to walk around and explore. There is only one bathroom on board so come prepared.

The impressive and historically significant WWII battleship, the USS Missouri can be toured when visiting Pearl Harbor. It is located at Ford Island and requires riding a free shuttle bus from near the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. A 35 min guided group tour is included with admission and is very worthwhile plus you will need another hour or more to fully explore the rest of the ship and all the exhibits. The Japanese surrender was signed on the deck of the ship as it sat in Tokyo Bay and there is a plaque commemorating the historic event on the "Surrender Deck" as it's known. The Pearl Harbor visitor center and museums are free, but you need a separate ticket to visit the USS Missouri. Same goes for the USS Bowfin Submarine and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. It costs $34.99 for the USS Missouri, or you can purchase a Passport to Pearl Harbor pass for $89.99 that includes all 3. This pass doesn't actually save you any money when visiting the 3 sites although it also includes an audio tour of the visitor center and a virtual reality experience which I thought was worthwhile. If you aren't able to secure tickets to visit the USS Arizona Memorial, it is located next to the Missouri, and you can get a close view of the Memorial from the main gun deck of the battleship.

It seemed remarkable to tour the battleship Missouri where the Japanese surrendered to the U.S. after WWII. You can stand in the exact spot where General MacArthur accepted the surrender. Took the Captain's Tour Add-On and was not disappointed. Got to see the Captain's quarters, the spot where they loaded the 16 inch guns, and the room where they conducted weapons control.
