For the half an hour visit to the memorial in the middle of the harbour it is not worth doing a trip alone for this but must be coupled with the museums on the shore and a visit to the Missouri which really brings out the sheer size and catastrophe of the Arizona. Silence at the tomb is a must.

This was a very touching experience for me. The thought of our sailors and others being in the water was very moving.

If you are into history and even if you are not, it is well worth the trip. A beautiful memorial built right over the sunken ship.

Very informative. We learned facts we haven't heard before. Our visit was very peaceful and respectful. Sad and beautiful area at the same time.

No need to book the $100+ tour through your hotel. This attraction is free! Ferry tickets to the Arizona were available on arrival, though this may have just been lucky. Would recommend that you pop in early during your Oahu stay in case tickets for that day aren't available. You'd have time to come back.

Very powerful experience... If you're not with a chartered tour group, be sure to get there early. Tickets for the Memorial were sold out by 8:30 a.m., when we arrived. Fortunately, we had pre-ordered tickets for 10:00 a.m. through our tour provider. I also recommend the U.S.S. Missouri guided tour. It was really cool to see the Surrender Deck.

Loved that it was free to enter. Lots of people were paying thinking they had to in order to see everything but you only pay if you are going inside the ships.

This is a truly sobering experience. To stand on this memorial above the ill-fated USS Arizona and see it now in such peace and knowing that hundreds of men are entombed below is a vivid reminder of a war the world should never forget. Get there early as the queues can be rather long.
