An awe-inspiring place!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/22/08
We loved visiting Pearl Harbor! Our children especially enjoyed the short boat-ride over to the memorial and seeing the ship below the water's surface. Before our visit, we rented the movie so our children could get a sence of what it was all about. It really helped them to understand the tragedy and loss that took place. The documentary ...
I will never forget visiting this place. I thought that everything was very well thought out and planned. The movie shown before traveling on the boat to the sunk ships really helps you not forget what we should never forget Pearl Harbor.
So I'm bias (military)! The place is free and represents so much of American history. Arrive early, or its a long wait to get out to the mermorial. I've been out there 5 times in the 2yrs I've been here, each time better than the last. One pet peve, please remove your hat when entering.

First visit

It was a beautiful, moving experience. Anyone travelling to Hawaii should not miss this historic memorial.
Be there first thing in the morning, at least an hour before they open, to avoid the long lines.

Pearl Harbor Tour
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/07
I was so excited to see all of the spots of Pearl Harbor with the video and the small museum like area with the memorabilia. I was able to see it all and lucky me, I have a cousin stationed in Pearl Harbor and was able to go onto an active sub that was in port. That was great!
If you wanna go to Pearl Harbor dont buy it here because it only $19.99 per person in Hawaii, n yahoo travel cost $89.00. Same service, same tour, same view and it cost less in Hawaii. DO NOT BUY ONLINE
I've been to Pearl before, only the memorial though, this time I did the whole thing, movie and the USS submarine and the museum, that was incredible. We spent hours in the museum just reading and learning. very interesting place. If you go to Pearl Harbor, don't dress in shorts and t-shirts. This is a memorial just like the cemetery. So be respectful as you would at others.
On a whole, I expected Hawaii to be cleaner and nicer. If you go anywhere near the military bases on Oahu, you'll notice how filthy and poverty stricken it really is. Pearl Harbor is nice for the history buffs.
