 | | Carri Ann, Co-op Member | | We planned our family vacation to Hawaii specifically so our son could go to this museum! It was totally worth it! The short movie was moving and informative (and we've watched A LOT of documentaries on Pearl Harbor). There's a museum of artifacts (an audio tour is available), and a gift shop that has some wonderful books, along with things like t-shirts. Tour times for the memorial are assigned, so it's best to get there early in order to ensure that you can get tickets. The boat ride out to the memorial is a short one, and once you're out there you have about 15 minutes before you board the boat for the ride back. |

| | Penny Holland, Co-op Member | We visited the Memorial several times while living in Hawaii. The times that made the most impressions on my daughter were ones where she had the opportunity to talk with Pearl Harbor survivors. Don't be afraid to speak to uniformed survivors who are volunteering in the park. They are happy to share memories and experiences with visitors.
Get there early. Carry only a camera and/or small bags. Research their park website beforehand for valuable information. |
