Don’t Buy These tickets

The tickets were not valid. The last boat left at 3:00 and we got there at 3:10. You have to reservations. If you want to go to the Arizona you need to buy tickets at Pearl Harbor everything else is free. Don’t buy this ticket.

First time at Pearl Harbo

Bought this excursion on Groupon and it was great to have to hear stories about Pearl Harbor. We were also able to tour the USSArizona as stand by and watch the movie. Usually these events get booked early. Be sure to bring money if you have a bag larger than a wallet because you have to check them at the counter for a fee. I would recommend this for first timers and to buy with Groupon.

Pearl Harbor exhibit

Very nice place to visit and learn some history. Everyone was so nice. USS Arizona memorial was a little emotional for me but definitely worth the visit

Disappointed

Consider a self paced bus tour instead. No handicapped accessibility. We drove through sites that would have been nice to pause for pictures. The windows were too dirty to take a good picture

Great day

You can stay however long you want. Lots to see with loads of history told on film, museums and of course, the headsets

A time to show respect

Volunteers and military officials led by example ensuring our fallen were respected. There’s so much to learn. Plan ample time.
