4-hour Self-Guided Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri Tour: please read the below description to get the most out of your experience.
Upon arrival, you can take the self-guided Pearl Harbor tour, or you may proceed to the USS Missouri. Tickets to the USS Missouri are included in this program.
Pearl Harbor:
There are two Exhibit Galleries: "Road to War" and "Attack". Immerse yourself in the history as you explore these two galleries. These two galleries vividly depict the events leading up to the attack on Oahu and its aftermath. Discover personal memorabilia, dramatic photographs, and authentic battle artifacts. Kiosks allow you to hear firsthand accounts from those who witnessed this pivotal moment. You may also visit the Pearl Harbor Memorial Theater located across from the exhibit galleries. Here, you can watch a 23-minute film about the December 7, 1941, attack. Showings begin every 15 and 45 minutes past the hour. You can also view the Interpretive Wayside Exhibits. Throughout the facility, you’ll find interpretive wayside exhibits. These thought-provoking displays invite visitors to imagine the experience of that tragic day. By superimposing descriptive images of Pearl Harbor as it was in 1941 over the bustling port as it appears today, these exhibits bridge the past and the present.
USS Missouri:
To visit the USS Missouri, you’ll need to take the Pearl Harbor shuttle to Ford Island. Shuttles depart the Pearl Harbor visitors center regularly. Please look for the signs indicating the shuttle pick-up area. The USS Missouri is berthed on the former "battleship row" at Ford Island. The 887 foot long "Mighty Mo" battleship is a living museum that offers guests a glimpse into the past and the experience of being aboard a ship that is alive with history as well as modern technology. You will be educated and entertained with exhibits, memorabilia, and activities that give you a sense of what life at sea was like aboard the world's last and most celebrated battleship. Discover the thrilling details of the kamikaze attack on the USS Missouri; stand in the shadows of the 16-inch guns that pummeled Inchon, Korea; see where 28 Tomahawk missiles were launched during the Gulf War and stand on the "Signature Deck" where General Douglas MacArthur stood when Japanese officials signed and presented him with the "Articles of Surrender" that ended World War II. Upon arrival at the USS Missouri, you can join one of the guided tours or you may navigate the ship on your own. When the tour is complete, take the shuttle back to the Pearl Harbor visitors center to join up with your fellow cruise ship passengers.
