The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum offers a detailed exploration of aviation during World War II, with a special focus on the pivotal attack on Pearl Harbor. This unique behind-the-scenes experience, not accessible to the public, allows visitors to explore hangars that endured the attack, still bearing bullet holes. Enjoy a guided tour of the museum.
Upon arrival at Pearl Harbor, you will be taken to Ford Island—museum tickets are included.
Exhibits include:
Hangar 37: An authentic World War II-era structure, Hangar 37 houses artifacts from the Pearl Harbor collection that narrate America’s involvement in World War II—from the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway and beyond.
Hangar 79: Picking up where Hangar 37 leaves off, Hangar 79 chronicles the ascent of American air superiority established during World War II. This dominance continued through subsequent decades, including the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf Wars.
Outdoor Exhibits: Situated between Hangars 37 and 79, our outdoor collection features historic and modern helicopters. Visitors to the museum can explore a dynamic array of traveling exhibits, covering topics ranging from the future of aviation to the heroes of World War II.
Your exclusive outing continues to the historic Ford Island Control Tower, where the iconic words ‘AIR RAID, ON PEARL HARBOR – THIS IS NO DRILL’ were first broadcast during the pivotal air raid on Pearl Harbor. This momentous event altered the course of history. Our first-class guided tour includes a ride in the meticulously restored elevator to the upper cab. From the observation deck, guests enjoy a panoramic 360° view of the battlefield. Accompanied by knowledgeable docents, you’ll journey through the fateful morning of December 7, 1941, hearing compelling stories of sacrifice and bravery.
Lunch will be served in a private area along the way.
Next, you will visit the USS Missouri and stand on the Surrender Deck, where World War II finally ended. Hear the story and see the impact of the kamikaze attack on Mighty Mo. Explore the below decks to see what Navy life was really like. When the tour is complete, take the shuttle back to the Pearl Harbor visitors center.
Notes: Make sure to bring your state issued ID.
