Pearl Harbor Visitor Center: Self-guided tour
Make the most of your day in Honolulu by upgrading to this small-group outing with a maximum of 24 privileged guests. Head to historic Pearl Harbor for free time to explore the Visitor Center. The Road to War exhibit gallery features artifacts, historic newsreel footage and photos of American life before the war. The Attack gallery showcases film and oral histories, artifacts and photos of how the United States was propelled into war. These galleries display personal memorabilia, dramatic photographs, and relics from the battle. View the interpretive exhibits along the shoreline — signs, plaques, and tributes, such as the Remembrance Circle, a monument listing the names of all World War II Medal of Honor recipients. 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.
Next, take the Pearl Harbor shuttle to 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. Examine the 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 gripping details of the kamikaze attack on the USS Missouri; stand in the shadow of the 16-inch guns that played a pivotal role at Inchon and Chosin Reservoir during the Korean War; 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. Join a guided tour or navigate the ship on your own. When the tour is complete, take the shuttle back to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and return to the ship.
