Battleship Missouri Memorial Review

The Missouri was so much more than I had expected. We almost passed because it was at the end of a tiring day, we were hot, our feet and bodies were exhausyed after 7 days of intense island activities, myself and my10 year old grand nephew were so glad we didn't. Its a grand ship and she has an amazing history I wasn't aware of. I highly recommend taking the free 35 minute tour, the volunteers are a wealth of knowledge

Like stepping back in time when these majestic battleships were the protectors of the seas. You can take a guided tour of the ship or plenty to see on your own.

Had the chance to see this beauty for a reenlistment ceremony. It provides wonderful history and chances to stand in and view what it looked like when in use. The guides are great and the gift shop it cute. Excellent place to visit for history buffs.

Great until the missile scare! Got locked down in a museum for a bit!! Of all places to be right?

It was good to be able to see the considerable space inside the ship. I think that it was very good to consider the history of the war, with the exhibition of Japanese special squadron. Recommended because Japanese guide will explain easily.

The ship is magnificent along with the men who served on it.

Great ship, was wondering if the Royal Canadian Navy could take it off your hands?

Truly a memorable experience! Quinn, our tour guide was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and kept our attention the entire time.

Just impressive. You can easily spend 2 hours going over the Mighty Mo. Go earlier to allow yourself time.

Definitely do the free 30 minute tour. You'll learn really interesting facts, and still have plenty of time to view the entire ship on your own.

A living history in this great ship...i plan one day to see it

Would have been nice to have full access to the ship

The Mighty Mo! Pretty amazing museum in an extremely historical environment!

Great memorial to visit. Take the guided tour, it's worth it. They provide key info of the ship as well as the historical events the ship was part of. Then rest of the tour is self guided. My kids are 6yo and 8yo and they loved it! Took the bus from the Peral Harbor visitor center and back. On the way back it stop by the aviation museum as well. We didn't do that one as the kids have seem plenty. I would say visit early so its less crowded. Wish the kids were free to enter, but I get it, someone need to pay to keep up the place. with that said, well worth the price of the tickets.

The Mighty Mo is AWESOME! Keeping watch over the men on the Arizona!

Amazing history and phenomenal tours. Take time to do the "Heart of the Missouri" tour.

Great experience. Join a free guided tour if you'd like to learn more details. Otherwise sightseeing in your own is also very interesting.

Not much to say other than that it is an absolutely incredible experience to walk aboard one of the most historic battleships in American naval history. If you're going to Pearl Harbor, do yourself a favor and check the Mighty Mo out.

It is important for Japanese people to go there once and feel the history
While listening to the explanation of the guide who usually guides you will deepen your thoughts further

Lots of repair work going on with the memorial. Great place to visit after the renovations are complete!

You can see the original and the renovation of modernization. Artillery and Tomahawk, Harpoon. The story of the Kamikaze attack is astounding. I'm glad that I was able to hear the performance of the high school student brass band.

Molto bello poter vedere dentro la nave . 27usd il.prezzo

Don t miss the chance to visit the ship if you are in Pearl Harbor. The place deserves the money you paid for.

This was an epic tour. Walked throughout the ship on the main deck, the second deck down, the surrender deck and even up to the navigation bridge. Saw living quarters, lounge, kitchen, cafeteria, and even an ice cream and soda fountain. This is an awesome experience that everyone visting Pearl Harbor should go on. The whole family loved it. Especially since the lower deck was air conditioned.

Loved the tour & appreciated learning about its role in history

This was on of this highlights of the visit to the Pearl Harbor area. Really needed more time to visit it. The walking tour was so informative about the historical significance of this ship. Well worth a visit for naval vets and historical buffs.

So amazing! Everyone should do this at least once in their lifetime!

They were doing restoration work when I visited. Didn't see parts of ship I would have liked. The parts I saw were awesome, staff was very good
Overall they are doing a fantastic job. I just wish I could have seen more

Came here in 2010 for a holiday and absolutely loved the passion the Americans have for there history. The ship also did not disappoint

It's a great experience to see one of the last battleships from another era. All the staff were very helpful and you can tell they really care about the boat. Hopefully more areas inside the ship open up to the tour.

For this rating I'm wavering between a 3 and 4. They're doing maintenance right now so some of its covered up and you couldn't get to one area. The boat itself is not restored to wwii time frame but from when it was removed from service. They did have some documents related to the signing of the surrender and an exhibit on wwii. It's interesting if you've never seen a battle ship before but if you have I'd probably skip it.

This is a must see if you are interested in history.

I thought it was great it was a great look at history our guide was great.I loved walking around the ship its a must see.#localguide

This is the ship that the declaration of Peace in the Pacific WW2 was signed on. In addition to that most important fact the ship displays it's more recent past and tours of duty. On board there are interesting tours by very knowledgeable guides who have either served on or are involved with the Missouri one way or another. By the way... watch out for your head.

Great place for going back in time and see history.

Very interesting and fascinating place. Beautifully restored. My mother thought it was a replica because of how new and well maintained it looked.

Humbling. Fantastic staff! One of the best places I ve been on the island, and my family and I are thankful for the opportunity.

This ship is part of the Pearl Harbor experience. You can tour most of it with guides or on your own. It is beautifully kept up and all the original equipment is there. I took a couple of tours and learned a lot of cool details about the ship. I was standing on the very spot where the peace agreement from world war II was signed.

A very informative and educational visit as you take a guided tour by a very knowledgeable guide for 35 mins and are then left to freely roam the ship and all decks with plenty of information and details throughout.

If you look at Pearl Harbor, be sure to watch the warship. Cost a few dollars more but definitely worth it. You can see a lot of the ship but especially the outdoor deck is impressive with the huge cannons

Memorial was interesting. Long bus lines and ticket lines require at least 2 hours to see the battleship. Also the food truck overcharged us for our order and didn't have a quick or easy way to credit our card or refund the overcharge. They had to call a manager which took quite a bit of unnecessary time.

Wonderful historic place to take friends visiting Oahu.

Pearl Harbor makes for a moving and breathtaking experience. Even small children can feel it as sacred space

A big personal check off the to do list. It's fantastic, the guides are excellent, and certainly worth a few hours of your time.

Went there with my family. The ship is partially under renovation on one side but you can still see the majority of it and we had a blast

Worth the place. Everything is organized in an interesting and informative way. In Russia, it would also be worth doing so. There is something to be proud of.

So so amazing. Very huge history. Tour guide was very well versed in the history of the Missouri. We enjoyed seeing the whole battleship. Everything at Pearl Harbor is privately funded so give generously to keep this going. All the sites are steeped in history and it is very emotional to see all the loss.

Take advantage of the group guided tour! The guide was a wealth of information and a person talking to you about the history is much more fun than just reading the signs. You will want to visit the Mighty Mo to make your Pearl Harbor tour complete. Plan to spend at LEAST two hours touring the site and to reach the really good views be prepared to climb steep steps...it is a battleship!

A moment of history to see, capitulation and the end of the 2nd World War.

Honestly, I was disappointed. Overpriced not to be able to see the guns, engine room, etc. I have been on other tours that were much better than this battleship.

One of the highlights of the trip and wrth every penny to go see. The mighty mo did not disappoint. They let you see the spot where world war 2 ended. There are "free" tours with entry and the individual that gave us a tour was amazingly knowledgeable. Tourists can go up into the bridge (if you want to climb the ladders/stairs) or down a deck to see some of the crew cabins etc. Great bit of history for the last battleship to serve the fleet

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had plenty of time to explore the ship without a guide as well.

Amazing! We did this as part of a tour. We only had 90 minutes on the boat. Could have spent all day exploring the ship. Well worth your time.

Interesting walk through history. Many great spots to take pictures and read about life on a battleship

The battleship is huge! Plenty of workers on site to help you with questioning tours are provided as well. Great photo opportunity in a highly respected place. Lots of military around. Food is onsite as well as bathrooms. Nice for a family outing.

Great Historic WW2 battleship, free for military in uniform.

Great tour guide! I had never been on a ship like this one and it is awesome! Got to hand it to those that serve on a ship, I couldn't live on a ship for months at a time.

Worth the visit. You're able to get into a lot of areas for free. Can be quite a maze inside.

Awesome experience to see how incredible these ships are.

Always a great piece of American history. Great to see and great to bring your family too. Stand in awe of the might Mo and it's 16 inch guns

You should definitely go here
However, check how to get there in advance. This is a military facility. There are various regulations.

Plan your trip when there is no renovation on the ship as majority of the areas would be closed

Wish I could have spent more time here. Loved the tour.
