USS Arizona Memorial

A somber reminder of the tragic events of Dec. 7, 1941, the USS Arizona memorial rests on the water over the hull of the sunken battleship it commemorates. Tours begin at a shore-side museum and visitor center with a film on the history of Pearl Harbor. Visitors then board a boat to the memorial, which consists of an assembly room, central ceremonial room and shrine, where you will find a marble wall engraved with the names of the lost. Operated by the National Park Service since 1980, the USS Arizona memorial is located next to the active Pearl Harbor Naval Base. It is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
