Battleship Missouri Memorial Reviews

It is a ship of the past 70 years and I feel history. There is no problem even if you do not understand English because there is Japanese guide. The guide's explanation is also very easy to understand

Lots of history, always wanted to step foot on a battleship.

Very interesting kids had a blast exploring the mighty Mo

Well, this is (still!) a very impressive battlewagon, but the history being taught is pure USA-USA-USA propaganda. Surely a memorial to be preserved, but the story told should be more objective!

The Pearl harbor base was attacked because they say that 1 hour before the USA shot down a
Japanese submarine

As the last battleship in the world to be decommissioned this ship is a sight to behold. I recommend taking the free tour on the top deck as you walk up, it's short and a great intro for exploring the remainder of the ship.

Chance to visit real battleship from War War II. Very impressive construction. This ship part of Perl Harbor exhibition, unless you are military - go to visitor center first.

Amazing. We had the opportunity to dine aboard Mighty Mo, and enjoy her at night. Highlight of our trip to Oahu.

Very cool! Thus is the ship on which the Japanese surrendered during WW2. This ship was in service until the 1990s! There are free guided tours. Allow for at least an hour to see everything if you're moving along at a good pace, 1.5-2 hours if you are taking your time. Definitely a worth while tour. Note that the USS Arizona, which is the official Pearl Harbor National memorial is not managed by the same group (non-profit) that manages all the other museums (USS Bowfin submarine, Pacific aviation museum, etc) but the ticket counters are right next to each other. By the way, tickets for the USS Arizona sell out by 9:30-10 every day.

Great historical visit. Wish I had more time. Plan to spend all day.

Amazing how much you can explore on the ship. Highly recommend the Heart of Missouri tour. Worth every cent to see the working of the ship.

Loved just being on the Mighty Mo as a piece of history and it's symbolic inclusion at Pearl Harbor.

Great history and glad to give respects for second time

Incredible place to visit. Ample stuff for kids also, from snack shops to historical artifacts. A vast majority of the ship is inaccessible but many important areas can be seen. However, you cannot access turrets or ammunition areas. They have an excellent area, obviously aimed at Japanese tourist, which covers kamikaze attacks. They have the exact spot where WW2's Pacific surrender occurred marked with a memorial. You could take a good tour in 90 minutes or climb all over for hours. If you were a crew member, they have significant artifacts from crew's lives and experiences, including the last Plan of the Day for decommissioning.

More history on this ship than I realized. One of my most favorite places that I visited in Honolulu. Don't miss this if you are in the area.

I should go to Hawaii
A special place where you can see both the opening and closing of the war with the Arizona Memorial across the street
It is a precious place where you can see the deck that is attacked by the special attack team and remains recessed at that time

Just one look. I could go several times in a dungeon.

If your interested in tons of history this is a must see !!!

Interesting and moving at the same time - definitely join in the tour.

Lots to see. History is still noticeable here. The staff are very knowledgeable and professional. Walking through it s sentimental as well. I was impressed with its history.

Very interesting. You re on a living piece of history as it was on her deck that the Japanese signed the official document of surrender which ended World War II. This ship, and several generations of sailors on board, served valiantly in conflicts from WWII, Korea and Iraq.

Just the history of the Battleship and to just be fortunate to have been able to visit so many times since I was a little girl. Born and raised in Indiana yet, my mother is hawaiian and she met my father when he was stationed in Hawai'i. Truly learn a little bit more history everytime I visit.

BIG ALOHA & MAHALO

So much fun. I would recommend the guided tour that's on the boat if you find history interesting. As soon as you walk up to the boat you know your money to see it was worth it

Its a MUST DO.... even for people who live in Hawaii

Sombering experience, and near the USS Arizona memorial

They take you on a bus from the visitor centre to go here. There are guided tours that come with your pass. You can either choose to join them or roam the ship on your own. Lots of cool and educational exhibit. No water inside and can be hot so be prepared. It should take 1.5 to 2 hours to tour the whole ship.

An amazing ship with an amazing history. Well worth the tour.

As a history buff this was an awesome tour. I elected to take the most expensive tour and we were allowed to view 90% of the ship. I would recommend this one. My only regret was not seeing the lower levels of the 16" gun turrets. We did see the top level of the turret and gun pits but nothing below. Oh well, maybe next time.

Bring sunscreen and water. It was hot but very informative.

Extensive access with walk through tour. Knowledgeable guide.

Enjoyed a buffet, live music, dancers and fireworks from the deck of the ship on the 4th of July well worth the cost. Plus we were able to explore the top of the Battle ship Missouri.

Was great to see history up close. Only problem was it way to expensive to take me and my 3 grandkids. So we just hung out by the pier. I am so blessed they were ok with that. Dots were great.

Mighty Mo BB-63 where World War 2 ended. It is surreal to be standing where great men stood before to end a war. One of the must do's if going to Pearl Harbor.

Impressive piece of machinery and of American might. Friendly staff.

This is one of the few essential places to visit for a sense of American history, in this case WWII. This really brings home the sense of what happened, and what our vets lived through even though the Big Mo was just at the tail end and of the war and was not by any means the most dangerous assignment. This is almost next to the Arizona memorial and should not be missed.

If you go see this ship make sure you go with a tour guide. They tell you countless facts and stories that you wont want to miss. They really know thier stuff...even things they dont cover they have a thorough and ready answer...

Great experience

We toured this on our own with the audio tour. I highly recommend it.

Lots of really cool stuff here. The maze like tour throughout the ship is quite interesting to explore and read about all the details. Given its history and age, alot of things were really well preserved. Just the role and its legacy in WWII and Desert Storm is fascinating to be walking on such a storied ship. Awesome!

A must-see after you buy your ticket and the other side of the bridge once you get there everything was perfect

The 16 inch guns of Mighty Mo now stand in permanent salute to the sailors of the Arizona. This is a fantastic addition tour to add to any visit of the Arizona memorial. So much history happened on this ship and she served her country with distinction thru out her service. The tour gives you access to many interior areas of the ship and a glimpse of what conditions must have been like for the sailors. This ship is truly massive and you will need several hours to see it all. Lots of ladder climbing and squeezing thru bulkheads so wear proper footwear. Amazing to see the transition she underwent upgrading to the modern armaments. All the informational displays and videos that are scattered throughout are especially well done. A must see attraction.

Fun place to wander about after seeing the Arizona memorial. Lots of history and a few decks of the ship to explore.

Huge ship you can walk through at your own pace or get a tour. I thought it was really interesting and a lot of fun!

If you love history or even appreciate the moment of being in a place that easily opens one s imagination of what it would have been like serving in the Navy during World War II, you must take the time to circle around the harbor to visit the Mighty Mo. Step back into time and imagine when Imperial Japan signed the decree to surrender in front of General MacArthur and other Allied officers and diplomats. Great experience for my family.

Very informative got walk inside and see how the sailors lived!

Very interesting seeing a ship like this so up close and personal. I'm so glad they have this museum to learn. Also the beautiful sea life near by was a plesent addition

Great tour with outstanding tour staff. A memorable visit.

Katherine gave an informative and entertaining tour

Awesome views, epic history. Really thankful for the sacrifices of people in the past to secure our freedom....

So much to see. Hands on tour of this magnificent battleship! Awesome experience.

The ship where history was made. Fitting Memorial to get a glimpse at how our country is protected by Naval firepower and how the men aboard the ship had to live.

If you like war history u will Love the Battleship Missouri tour.

Guides were well versed and answered all questions. Great to have such a piece of history on display.

The last American battle ship. The heart tour is well worth the price. Our tour guide Bob was fantastic.

Wish I had more time, tour we took with Carnival was rush, rush. PEARL HARBOUR & USS MISSOURI.

After flying from Utah we were turned away at the gate 23 minutes after they decided to close early for a special function....
