Visiting Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial

Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial are both very popular tourist destinations on the island of Oahu with over 1,500,000 visitors every year. The addition of the USS Battleship Missouri along with the 1999 opening of the USS Missouri Memorial has even further enhanced the tour.
The Arizona Memorial
The Arizona Memorial is open daily from 7:30 am to 5:00pm. Most of the educational programs like the 23-minute documentary film about the attack and the boat trip to the USS Arizona Memorial begin at 8:00 a.m. (7:45 a.m. in the summer). The last program begins each day at 3:00pm
If you plan to visit the USS Arizona, then my suggestion is that you arrive super early. The ticket office opens at 7:30 and the first tour is at 8:00 so I would plan to be on site at 7:00am at the very latest. Once you get into the theater, the movie is chillingly good. After the movie, a boat takes you across to the USS Arizona Memorial - a very somber and moving experiece.
I would definitely recommend this to all visitiors to Oahu!
