U.S.S. Arizona Memorial and Visit Center

This is a memorial site that was built in order to remember the U.S navy ship (Arizona) that was attached by the Japanese military on Dec 7 1941 killing about 2,433 Americans. The remains on the ship are still there and a memorial building is built on it. Special commemorative ceremonies are usually held here on every December  7th by the U.S Navy which is  a major attraction. The tour is very popular and hence the admissions are limited. Tickets are usually offered every day starting at 7.30am on first come first served basis.  During the summer months, space runs out very quickly.

U.S.S. Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park

This is a museum located next to the Arizona and named after the 1500-ton USS Bowfin submarine used in World War 2.This submarine is located within the museum. Several other submarines that were used during this second war form major attractions of the museum as well. The cost for adults is $8; children are charged $3 for admission .The museum is open daily and therefore you can visit the site any time you feel convenient.

U.S.S UTAH

This is another ship that was attacked during the raid and forms part of the attraction in this harbor. It’s located along the west Shore of Ford Island but the visits here are restricted.

Vacation opportunities

The main vacation opportunities include the Hawaii- Oahu specials and the Westin Hawaii Prince Hotel Hawakiki. The Oahu has great facilities at low, affordable prices in addition to prepaid tickets for the local attractions. On the other hand, the hotel Hawakiki is next to Ala Moana Beach Park.
