The USS Arizona Memorial is one of the most visited and emotionally resonant historic sites in the United States, marking the resting place of 1,177 sailors and Marines. The boat shuttle to the memorial is free, though the museum exhibits on shore require timed entry passes that should be reserved well in advance online. Plan for a half-day minimum to absorb the USS Bowfin submarine, the Battleship Missouri, and the aviation museum nearby. Crowds are intense year-round and parking is limited, so arrive early or use the shuttle from Waikiki.
