What To Expect

Pearl Harbor National Memorial

The Arizona Memorial is the most visited attraction in the State of Hawaii. This memorial is built over the wreck of the battleship USS Arizona. It is a memorial to everyone who died in the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This attack pulled the United States into WWII. The memorial is also a memorial to the 1,177 sailors and marines who died aboard the USS Arizona when a Japanese bomb detonated her ammunition magazine. Almost half of the 2,403 US military personnel died in the attack. The Arizona Memorial spans the wreck of the battleship but does not touch it. The Arizona Memorial is only accessible by US Navy-operated shuttle boat.

The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum inhabits three buildings of the former Naval Air Station Pearl Harbor. The two hangars and the administrative building with the control tower were all present during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. Damage from the attack can still be found on Hargar 79. Today the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum houses a growing collection of aircraft dating from WWII to today. Among them are some truly rare aircraft. The museum also features a flight combat simulator and a rotating exhibit housed in a separate area called the Raytheon Pavilion.
