The ship is neat, but they are just plain running a scam with the shuttles. They are selling more tickets than spaces and the wait is 30 minutes to an hour to get back to the parking lot. Not worth the wait especially when they have the nerve to charge $40 per person to visit. There are many steep staircases and narrow walkways so if you can't climb, it's not really something I would recommend.

Attended a military ceremony here - a stunning location! Have also done a tour - it's a fascinating ship to tour and the gift shop is actually pretty worthwhile.

I spend over two hours at this battleship Missouri Memorial and didn't even go to every room in a ship. I feel like I go to the maze, and I can get lost in the ship. I enjoy seeing how they present every room and giving information. lots of analog equipment, old computer, 80's style and before. The battleship is like a small city and has everything in it, rooms for officer and sailor, galley, kitchen, liberty, doctor office, shop, dental office, fire department, lawyer office, internet room etc. I get to see the deck that Japanese and American sign the formal surrender agreement. And actually, the next day after we visit the ship is September 2rd the 80th years celebration of the end of WWII that is why they put all flags to decorate the ship. after two hours I decide to get some rest and skip some floor and rooms because if I go to every detail, it will be more than one day to complete all museum.

Wow awesome tour. Lots of history, great displays. A+. A must go to if you are near by. Good food stands and dolewhip deserts.

It has its own post office. Mail was picked up regularly by helicopter

This was an amazing tour. The guide gives you great information about the guns, their weight, their range, etc. going below to see what the sailors experienced was eye opening. The museum o had many items donated by the Japanese. These ships are floating cities. They have everything. This was inspiring and emotional. A must see tour

I had a good experience learning about all of the things that took place on the ship, looking at the dorms and the mess hall but when we went into the inside of the ship, I got claustrophobic wouldn't recommend if you're scared of enclose spaces but otherwise I had a pretty good experience

We visited the Battleship Missouri on the last day of our trip to Hawaii. We did the Arizona Memorial first and were still able to hop on a shuttle to Ford Island with minimal wait in the late morning on a Saturday. I would recommend eating once you get there, the food options are much better at this site than the snack bar at Pearl Harbor. We enjoyed the food truck and covered seating. It took us about an hour and a half to go through the Missouri as the self-led option. Not sure how long with a guide. We weren't rushed during that time and we got in line for the shuttle back around 2:15pm. The line was long and took over 30 min for us to get on a bus when we had to meet our tour bus back at Pearl Harbor at 3:15pm. They stop at the aviation museum next so you need to factor that in. This is a must see when visiting Pearl Harbor so make sure you allot enough time to experience it and get back.

My family and I did a self guided tour through battleship Missouri. My son learned a lot about the history of Pearl Harbor and my daughter had fun exploring the big ship. Staff were available to ask questions if needed. There was a shave ice place once finishing the tour which was refreshing since it is the summer and it's hot on the ship.

Educational experience for our family. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Watch your head if you're 6ft+.

This tour is one of my meaningful ones in Hawaii. We booked a full Pearl Harbor Tour and this is one of our stops. Guided tours were available but we preferred being on our own. We took our time checking out the ins and outs of the ship - it was very easy navigating it as there were signs everywhere, guiding you where to go every step of the way. My friends and I love to read so we took time reading all the posts and historical notes in each section. The ship is amazingly almost like a city on its own. We saw the cramped quarters of the soldiers, their mess hall, dental office, post office, kitchen, board game/card games tables, bakery. We've always known the valor of our soldiers and veterans, but being inside this ship made all of their sacrifices look real and tangible.

This was a very historical event that I wasn't as much aware of. The staff were nice and informational. I do have a harder time hearing and our tour guide's native language wasn't English so I chose to go out on my own, away from the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and proud of working there which made for a good experience. It was clear what parts you were and were not able to see. The shuttle took a while to get back to Pearl Harbor.

If visiting Hawaii, this is a great place to visit and learn about Americas military history. The ship is well maintained and if the tour has you parched or hungry, there's affordable refreshments served. I came aboard for a Military Retirement Ceremony and everything was top-notch!! I also enjoy that there are volunteers available to answer questions throughout the tour.

For any first time visitor to the island, Pearl Harbor area is a must!! Once I made it onto the ship, I was greeted and was informed I could tour the ship via a complimentary tour or I can tour the ship on my own. I decided to join the tour group, the guide was very informative, however, I was on a time schedule and with all of the questions from the attendees, I decided to tour the ship myself. The plaques throughout the ship with very helpful. The ship is huge with many narrow passages and stairs/ladders. The interior was massive with all of the various areas such as the sleeping quarters, the kitchen, work areas, the mail room, and even the dentist office. Next to the ship, there are several dining options and souvenir shops. Please note.... If your a Cher fan, she used this ship for her "If I Could Time Back Time" video.

It was a small birthday celebration--just myself, the newly minted 9-year-old grandson, and his…read moremother. The admission to the museum was pricey, even for Kama'aina, so we opted to get the Family Membership instead. The membership was for 2 adults and up to 4 kids, and also has discounts for other exhibits. After a quick sweep through the museum, and a wary observation of the flight simulator, the grandson decided it was time to eat. I got the Blue Angels Burger and he got the kids hot dog meal. I'd say the prices were reasonable, considering how much takeout and restaurant food costs these days. The burger was fat as hell and the dog wasn't Costco sized but definitely satisfied the kid. I didn't get pics of the food because I was too enthralled over the size of the patty! We spent the day also visiting the Mighty Mo, the Virtual Reality tour, and gift shop shopping also.

In my opinion the Aviation Museum was one of the cooler stops on our trip. I really enjoyed all the different types of planes and carriers they had on display. We also ate Lunch at the Cafe in the Aviation Museum and the food was delicious! The bus picked us up from the USS Missouri and dropped us off at the Aviation Museum, there was a short line to check in at the front desk of the museum before you could enter the inside portion of the museum. They had a flight simulator inside the internal museum as well as a gift shop and restaurant. The Hangar still had the original bullet holes in the glass from the Pearl Harbor attack which was a really neat part of history to be able see. They also have a section where they are restoring some planes and helicopter parts. My favorite thing they had was this wood paneled plane in the hangar. They also had some old Military trucks out front of the hangar that were really cool. I highly recommend visiting the Aviation Museum while at Pearl Harbor.

You will see two other companies with similar names to this one, but they are not the same as this…read moreone. Make sure you are booking with Dan! Dan is the guy who runs The Real Hawaii. I found him through TripAdvisor when I was seaching for a private circle tour. We were a group of two, and I wanted something small, custom and personal, over an impersonal group tour. If you are looking for the same, Dan is your man. Booking through the external sites is easy, but I recommend calling Dan and booking through him directly. He is polite and prompt in his service. He has a fleet of three vehicles: two jeeps and a van. We took a tour in one of his Jeeps. We scheduled a pickup at our Waikiki Beach hotel the day before. He picked us up promptly at 7am for our tour on the scheduled day. He was very professional, fun and a great conversationalist. He took us to some very beautiful spots of places with names I have trouble pronouncing. He will point out the spots of simple beauty, but also take you to places you never knew you needed to visit. Every place he goes, he has a story or experience there. He seems to know everyone, which makes your tour very efficient. He also adjusts your tour's pace to you, and you will never feel rushed. Some of the lookouts and beaches were so breathtaking. The Pipeline Beach area is a must. You would think places like that do not exist, but WOW. Even if you are not a surf fan, you will appreciate a stop there. The restaurants he takes you to are great! We stopped at Fumi's and Aoki's and I was impressed by both. The shopping area we went to on the North Shore was nice. Lots of photo ops, and Dan will even show you some filming locations from movies and tv shows. We got lucky and even saw quite a few whales during our tour! Overall, this is probably one of the best private tours I have been on in all my years of traveling. Dan knows his stuff, and we were super happy with our experience. Customer service, excellent. Driving, excellent. Tour stops, excellent. And Dan, excellent. Thank you, Dan!

Also he did a awesome job of staying ahead of other groups so basically at all our stops we where the only ones around. I booked 3 different activities while I staying in Hawaii and The Real Hawaii by far blew the other groups out of the water. I will recommend this tour group for anyone visiting and I have friends coming soon who I recommend to you. Wish you nothing but the best and hope to see you again. If you are planning on going to the north shore book through this guy and save your self the headaches he knows his stuff. Mahalo my friend.

If you're into historical locations, this is a place to visit on island…read more Parking - $7 in their lots but if you go down just past them, there is a free lot. Bag policy - leave your bags in the car or home. You cannot enter with anything bigger than a small wallet. They will make you check it and pay. Better to not bring at all. Very strict. Tickets - Pearl Harbor itself to enter is free. You cannot pay $1 online to prebook the USS Arizona memorial boat tour in advance or just sign up as soon as you get there and it's free. Each time I've just done the latter and it usually gets me on the boat within an hour. They seem to always have standby but I've only gone in the afternoon. The tickets for everything else, you should look online in advance to include the bowfin and battleship. Those you should book online. Time - if you're not doing any paid additional tours, I would recommend 2-3 hours. There are 2 smaller museum areas to walk through, a walking path outside along the water, a 20+ minute video and the boat tour. You can definitely pair this visit with other activities throughout your day Food - there is a snack shop inside. Bathrooms - at least 2 available on each end Staff - some of the park rangers could be nicer. I've been a few times and one of them, they seemed on a grumpy or angry side. Not because anyone was doing anything they shouldn't be, that's just the way their attitude was but it could have just been a bad day. The memorial is open 7am to 5pm.

They don't allow purses, backpacks, diaper bags, or even Lululemon fanny packs. If you're planning on visiting, make sure you bring a clear tote bag, (any size )the most important thing is that it is clear. If you try to go through the front gate with any type of bag, they will have you check it in at the next building for a cost of $7 Overall, this is a museum dedicated to Pearl Harbor. A day that will live in Infamy. They have historic walk through's of Pearl Harbor from back in the 1940's, an attack experience where you can see the history of the tension and ties between U.S and Japan. -they have a cinema experience, which is a 20 minute video of the overall history of December 7, 1941 -they have the submarine experience which is an additional cost. -they have the USS ARIZONA experience as well. You get to go on a boat and visit the physical memorial. This place is treated like a cemetery. They have expectations of your behavior and conduct while you're visiting the site You will be briefed before you board a boat, two Navy service members will drive you over to the site you get 15 mins on this site. Please be respectful when you're taking pictures or videos. There is no loud noise permitted while on the memorial. Overall, you can visit the site on your own without a tour guide. The cost of parking is $7 Admission is separate. For each historical site there is a fee for admission. I do recommend you check out the national memorial website you can get a package deal there. Or you can get on a tour bus and experience at least three of the museums were like $60 But if you want to take your time, and visit every single site at your own pace, you're probably gonna want to book through the national Memorial webpage where they have lunch meal bundles along with shuttle transportation, and a $10 gift card for the gift shop OVERALL: this is a special place. The ambience is quiet and respectable. It was a different kind of experience because there's a lot of reflection and history. Not a lot of noise. Lots of education. But a great site to visit.
