If you want to take a boat out to the USS Arizona memorial , arrive early in the morning - tickets are free, but they go fast! If you want more in-depth history, buy the $7.50 audio tour .

Lynette Eugenio

The top attraction on the island , commemorating the heroes and survivors of Pearl Harbor. There are 4 different sites to visit - all great for families to soak in some history.

Jesse Miller

Do the audio tour , quicker than guided tour and plenty of info. Get there at 7, and do the Arizona memorial ASAP. Dont forget to leave a few hrs to check out the Missouri, and Pacific aviation museum

Scott Spaulding

Everyone talks about arriving early to secure tickets for the Arizona tour , we arrived at 9:45 and got tickets for 10:30 am tour . From my perspective, don't sweat the time for tickets!

Percy Holmes

This is a must stop when visiting Honolulu. As an American citizen or world citizen, it's a must.

First stop before the USS Arizona. Let the solemness begin. It's humbling and surreal to stand on the same ground which men and women died for me, this country .

Barbara Iliopoulos

Learn about WWII and the bombing of Pearl Harbor . You can actually visit the museums here for free and best to get here first thing in the morning. Read more

Eric W

Get there early to avoid the crowd. No bags allowed inside. Bag check is to the far right of the entrance and costs $3. You can only bring in a camera , phone, wallet & bottle of water.

Becca Charles

How touching. Survivors of the USS Arizona chose to have their remains spread over the water where their shipmates are resting.

Clay Chastain

Free military parking past the main parking . Military gets a discount but damn this place is expensive . The Missouri is worth it, but not the Bowfin . Get there by 7 to get an Arizona ticket .

Natasha Davis

You're not allowed to bring bags of any sort, but if you have a lot of things you want to bring or carry then you can buy something cheap from the gift shop and safely carry your things.

Jodi Burroughs

Very impressed with the amount of educational displays/videos. Get there early for free tickets and enjoy it all! Memorial is incredible

Lindsey Wooton

If you use the free bus shuttle be aware that they stop running at 4 pm. No one told us that. We had to walk from the Arizona side, over the bridge , and back to the Missouri side where we parked. >_<

Kyle T

They pull extra people into the Arizona Memorial theater if all the seats aren't full. Don't want to wait for hours? Just wait near the theater and you'll probably get in way ahead of time!

Olivia

really worth visiting especially on Memorial Day weekend... it is such an honor to pay tribute to those who served by at least sending them a prayer ~_~

Jordan Raynor

When the National Parks Director says, "America’s 401 national parks are open for business,” he may be mistaken. Call to double check.

Kelly ????

You can get a lot out of touring the free parts of the center! Even the two "museums " will take you at least an hour

Tanya Blankenbeckler

Great place to learn..to respect those who have fought and passed.

Christine Byun

If you do the USS Bowfin tour , ask for an audiotour. They’re complimentary !

Lindsey Wooton

No one at this place, especially the security guards , wins an award for being friendly . WAIT! Scratch that, it's the whole island . Sincerely, a Nebraska girl.
