One of the more well-known Hawaiian tourist sites is Pearl Harbor. The Pearl Harbor National Memorial website states, "At the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, learn about one of the most pivotal moments in US history: the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the subsequent entry of the United States into World War II."
Many people visit Pearl Harbor each day, but it is also a large area with multiple attractions that help spread out the crowds. Because we had young children as part of our large party, we had to choose select activities to keep their interest and were only able to see some of the many highlights to be experienced at Pearl Harbor.
The highlight of our Pearl Harbor visit (and the highlight arguably for most people visiting Pearl Harbor) was the USS Arizona Memorial.
An interesting introductory film was shown before boarding a boat to ride to the USS Arizona Memorial.
Fellow tourists on the USS Arizona Memorial were quiet and respectful and it served as a great memorial to those who had died there suddenly.
Tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial should be reserved well before one's visit to Pearl Harbor. Reservations are required for certain times lots to see the film and visit the memorial.
