The U.S.–Japan relationship before and during World War II
The role of Pearl Harbor in shaping the Pacific War
The extraordinary history of the USS Missouri
The formal end of World War II
The personal stories and sacrifices of those who served

What to expect
USS Arizona Memorial
1h 30m
Begin the experience with a visit to the solemn resting site of over 1,000 Sailors and Marines who lost their lives during the attack on December 7, 1941. Travelers will spend approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes at this sacred historic landmark, which includes watching a 23-minute documentary covering the immediate events leading up to the attack before taking a boat ride directly to the memorial itself. Entry to the visitor center and boat transportation are included, though visitors should expect a respectful environment requiring quiet decorum and standard security checks where bags are not permitted.
Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum
1h 30m · Admission ticket included
Continue to historic Ford Island for a 1-hour and 30-minute exploration of one of the world's most comprehensive aviation presentations. Guests will view historic aircraft—including an actual flown Dauntless, a Warhawk, George H.W. Bush's training plane, and the world's only complete collection of all three Japanese plane types used in the attack. Admission includes entry to the "Top of the Tower" for exceptional panoramic views of Pearl Harbor. Lunch is available for purchase at the museum's air-conditioned cafe, offering a comfortable environment to cool down and refuel during the visit.
1h 30m · Admission ticket included
Conclude the tour with a 1-hour and 30-minute stop at America's last serving battleship, affectionately known as "Mighty Mo." Travelers will step onto the historic decks where World War II officially ended, gaining entry to explore the ship's historic quarters and climb up the five upper decks for incredible views of the USS Arizona Memorial and Oahu's south shore. Walking shoes are strongly recommended, as navigating the ship involves climbing steep ladders and stairs across multiple deck levels.
