I’d include Pearl Harbor National Memorial for some time by the beach.

More about this place

Pearl Harbor National Memorial is a powerful historic visit centered on the USS Arizona Memorial and the events that brought the United States into World War II.

Begin with the visitor-center exhibits, then take the Navy-operated boat to the memorial when conditions allow. The broader complex can also include the Battleship Missouri, Pacific Fleet Submarine Museum, and Aviation Museum, each with separate admission and enough material to fill a full day.

Allow two to four hours for the USS Arizona program, early arrival and visitor-center highlights. Arrive an hour before your reserved Arizona program. The Missouri, submarine and aviation museums require additional time and their own admission arrangements.

Original curator notes · check current details.

  1. Reserve the USS Arizona program through Recreation.gov when slots open.

  2. Bags are not allowed inside the visitor center, so arrive with only essentials or use paid storage.
