about USS Arizona Memorial:

Tours of the USS Arizona Memorial, a tribute to those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor, start at the Visitor Center, which includes a museum, bookstore, concessions, exhibits, and two theatres. Visitors must line up for numbered tickets; arrive early in the day to avoid disappointment, then plan on exploring the Visitor Center while waiting for your number to be called. Following a half-hour documentary film, visitors board a boat for a short ride, then explore the memorial on their own. Audio tours are available.

Kids can learn about the site in advance of a visit with Koa, an interpretive ranger, on kids' pages on the National Park Service's website.

tips:

Security is tight at the memorial, and purses, diaper bags, fanny packs, camera bags, and other items that offer concealment need to be stored (for a fee) in the facility at the entrance to the USS Bowfin Submarine Park. Cameras can be brought on the tour. Strollers must be left in the Visitor Center. And parents take note: there are no restrooms past the Visitor Center - but the ones in the Visitor Center do have changing tables!

getting there:

Just off Highway 1, but don't take the Pearl Harbor exit, which leads to the naval station. Take the USS Arizona/Stadium exit instead. TheBus Routes 20 & 42 stop at the Visitor Center.
