A very interesting sight to see. Where the war ended.
This place is AWESOME! It's in AMAZING condition. Being on this ship feels genuine and real. The boat has been very well maintained. My family and I had a great time while exploring this Battle Ship!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Only regret is we didn't have enough time to see everything....
It was great seeing the place where so much history happened
Nice place to visit. Interesting part of history. Easy to tour with guide or on your own.
Absolutely amazing. I loved the info they had about everything!
I saw the battleship for the first time.
I think there are many ways to see it, but I think you should visit it once.
Best of the displayed ships. Must take the hearing tour and the narrated tour. Historians do it justice. One small observation that we need to correct: we need to stop judgment when telling a story. .. The Canadian who signed was not confused. On Canadian forms, the signatures go under the lines.
Nice ship with great history. Include different languages guide tour. You need to take a bus to the island.
Best attracktion at Pearl Harbor. It's amazing to actually stand at the very spot where the japanese signed the surrender to the alied forces. The shops history is also fantastic. A must see.
Excellent piece of history. The Japanese surrender was signed aboard this ship and you can see it on display here.
DO NOT DO THE 4TH OF JULY EVENT. Stupid rules, no lockers, its insanely crowded. Huge rip off, ruined our 4th of july.
Battleship Missouri
The deck when Japan signed a surrender is also preserved.
It's a unique piece of history that you can still visit. The tour guides were will informed and shared a lot of knowledge.
Worth the money if you're into history and the "tour" is quick, then you can explore yourself without feeling suck with a group.
Excellent guides, well maintained piece of history
This battleship is huge and very interesting to see. Plenty of pictures to take, both on the inside and outside. The tour guide(s) are very friendly and informative and they take about 35-40 minutes to go over the majority of the boat. Plenty of snack shops, food shops, souvenir shops to use. Lots of parking space too.
Clean ship, nice and knowledgeable crew, would definitely recommend
The ship was going through a facelift while we were there but the tour was still informative and entertaining to see the quarters and tour several of the areas below deck.
Tells the story of ships attacked by Japan to start world war two with USA.
It's a museum in the form of battleship. It's recommended for those who love history.
I highly recommend taking this tour so much history.
It is Missouri.
It is a battleship where Segard rampaged in the movie (although it seems that the actual shooting was another ship).
It is the greatest value of this facility that you can actually feel the size of a real battleship.
Although it is a complex feeling place where signing of surrender was done in Japanese.
I was taught variously by the local guide, but the impression that I remained the first impression the story that Japanese special machine crashed. Although the attack itself does not cause big damage, although the pilot died, it seems that the recovered body was buried by the captain of the time at the judgment of the captain.
You can catch a glimpse of the human nature of captain Kyarahan in the episode that the enemy's country, who also attacked the ship, paid homage to him.
A great experience, what a ship, just to have the opportunity to walk through a retired warship and see its operational workings. The staff were friendly and informative.
Best place to understand about our nations sacrifice and military
Piece of history. Fascinating and moving. Worth seeing.
Amazing place to visit. Did you know that the battleship is the same one featured in the movie battleship?
Great place to visit, but beware if you're not good with steep steps.
Great tour with Huku Tours, time on the ship was part guided, part free to explore on your own. You can feel the awesome power of this battleship!
A legend you have to look at, everyone is very friendly but the price is already at the limit of what can be asked for.
Cool experience. Gotta check out the teak wood deck, it's a navy thing...it's not a safety thing for the tourists. Below deck is a mix of historical displays and circa 1980s navy equipment. I liked the high voltage ice cream maker...wonder if it's mil-spec.
One of the best tours of a capital ship you will ever have.
A must-see. Too much to see in a couple hours- plan to spend the whole afternoon on the ship.
Definitely worth a visit. Free admission incl. ship. Catching parking lot in front of the entrance.
Super cool. I thought we would get to see more ships though.
Excellent presentation of a historically significant vessel. I didn't know that it stayed in service for as long as it did.
The only problem I had was I didn't leave myself enough time to fully explore the ship. We were there for two hours, and rushed through the below decks to catch another local attraction. I feel I could have spent another 2 hours here easily. Fantastic tour and sites. Can't wait to come back in the future.
We did the 4th of July picnic at the pier and it was awesome! Loved that we were able to get on the ship while we waited for the fireworks. It was BYOB and BYOF but they also had a vendor with multiple food and drinks options. Will definitely do it again another year. Very family oriented and recommend it!
Had a fantastic tour with Heidi as a guide. Recommend to anyone
Pete from Oz without a accent
Very touching and educational! Great tour guide, Rosie!
It was amazing to see the place where the Japanese surrendered and ended WW2 - in the same place where they started it. They definitely picked on the wrong country!
You can get a free Korean guide. So I came to know the historical meaning. This battleship played a very big role in our history. Do not just go to the place to take photos and be sure to get the guide. The guide of the Korean people .. maybe the Japanese people will not come here. It's a person who has a heart to reflect on past history.
Informative, good views, really able to visualize what happened that day
Sad piece of history wish everything wasn't so expensive
It was worth seeing the ship for it historic role. Seeing it in person really puts into perspective how much steel and manpower went into every single ship. It's a floating city, with guns the size of houses.
A must visit. The ship itself is not handicap friendly, but that is because it is kept in it's original state. There is handicap access to most of the main deck. It's still worth seeing if you're handicapped.
Absolutely loved the tour. Amazing history on this battleship.
Leave your purse at the hotel. You cannot bring it on to the museum campus, and shouldn't leave it in your car (Hawaii is famous for vehicle break-ins). Throw your credit card and ID in your pocket, phone case, or wallet. No camera bag allowed either, just carry your camera, or bring a neck strap. No selfie stick or umbrella, either. Pearl Harbor is an active base, so security is still important. You will understand once you enter the property. The experience is profoundly moving, so bring Kleenex, you will need one... Even the tough guys. Almost everything is explained in both, Japanese AND English.
A humbling experience to actually walk on such a great and historically important ship - great experience and very friendly staff
The mighty Mo....she is a real badass. This beautiful ship served her country with valor and grace. From WWII battles to the surrender of Japan that ended WWII, to her service in the first gulf war. The men and women that sailed on her were the best that the Navy had to offer. This ship is living and breathing history. All Americans should pay respects to a ship that is directly responsible for our freedom.
Went there with my dad as a gift for his birthday. We didn't get there in time to see everything below deck. They close at 4:00 pm. I would go there 1st if time before USS Arizona tour. Very interesting. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Great monument to the USS Missouri and all the history it contains. Although it is expensive, and crowded, in the end it is still a monument to the end of the deadliest war in human history.
I was expecting a tour of a battleship and it was so much more! Essentially the ship is one giant museum covering the history of the ship from its service in WWII, including the surrender of the Japanese to the United States which happened on board, through the 1980s with deep detail on ship operations, life on board as a crewman, and the capabilities of the ship itself.
A lot to see and learn. Connects our military history from Pearl Harbor to the surrender of the Japanese. You can go throughout the ship with out without a guide. Excellent experience IMO.
Great tour. Inspiring . Well kept up. Museum's inside we're AMAZING. THANKS to all those past and present for the sacrafice.
