Pearl Harbor Visitor Guide — USS Arizona, Tickets & Tips

Pearl Harbor is the most important historical site in Hawaii and one of the most visited memorials in the United States.

USS Arizona Memorial

The centerpiece — a memorial built over the sunken USS Arizona where 1,177 crew members died on December 7, 1941. The experience includes a documentary film, a Navy boat ride to the memorial, and time on the memorial itself looking down into the water where the ship still rests. Oil still seeps from the wreck — often called the ’tears of the Arizona.’ This is deeply moving.
