The visitor center is part of the Pearl Harbor National Monument. The buildings and grounds are filled with museums and informative displays of Pearl Harbor’s history and events during WWII.

This massive battleship was commissioned in 1944 and would be the last battleship built by the U.S. Navy. It saw action In the final year of the war including support during the invasion of Iwo Jima, Okinawa and airstrikes on Tokyo. It was aboard the USS Missouri that the Japanese surrendered to allied forces in Tokyo Bay in September of 1945, officially ending WWII. The ship went on to fight in the Korean war and in support of Desert Storm operations in the early 1990’s. It has been a floating museum at Pearl Harbor since 1999. Guests can explore both above and below decks while learning about life aboard during WWII.
Guests can explore, inside and out, one of WII’s most decorated fleet submarines – the USS Bowfin. After December 7th 1941 nearly every ship and military aircraft on the island of Oahu had been damaged or destroyed. This left the defense of Hawaii to the few ships not damaged during the Japanese attack, two aircraft carriers and the submarine fleet. Known as the U.S. Navy’s “Silent Service”, the U.S. Pacific submarine fleet sank thousands of tons of Japan’s merchant and naval ships, crippling the enemies supply lines and preventing them from mounting more attacks against Hawaii while the Navy and American industries rebuilt and added to the Pacific Naval Fleet.
Learn how they did it with National Park narrated headsets while strolling the deck, interior compartments and living quarters of the submarine. Continue this experience at the nearby submariner’s museum and memorial to the WWII submariners on “eternal patrol”.
Located on Ford Island in the historic hangers bombed during the Japanese attack, this expansive aviation museum still bears the scars of December 7th, 1941. Vintage WWII aircraft abound throughout some 120,000 sq ft of displays. The museum houses military aircraft from the last 80 years of combat including jets, seaplanes and helicopters used in the Korean and Vietnam wars. Browse the displays and murals depicting decisive WWII battles fought in the air throughout the Pacific. Guests can even fly these vintage aircraft in the Flight Simulators for an additional fee. It’s an immense array of aircraft and interactive displays for the whole family!
