Pearl Harbor Visitor Center

Fodor's Choice

The gateway to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial and the starting point for visitors to this historic site has interpretive exhibits in two separate galleries (Road to War and Attack) that feature photographs and personal memorabilia from World War II veterans. There are also other exhibits, a bookstore, and a Remembrance Circle, where you can learn about the people who lost their lives on December 7, 1941. The visitor center is also where you start your tour of the USS Arizona Memorial if you have reserved in advance the requisite timed-entry ticket ( www.recreation.gov; $1 reservation fee).
