USS Arizona MemorialDescriptionThe Arizona Memorial is the most visited attraction in Hawaii with an estimated 3,000 visitors each day. Visitors come from around the world to see the place where the peace was interrupted and paradise lost. On a quiet Sunday morning December 7, 1941 this sheltered harbor on Oahu Hawaii became the catalyst for the USA's involvement in World War II.
The memorial was erected over the sunken wreck of USS Arizona. It is designed to encourage quiet contemplation, and to appeal to our memory and sense of sacrifice. The interpretive program consists of a 23-minute documentary film and a U.S. Navy shuttle boat to the USS Arizona Memorial.
Strict security measures prohibit purses, handbags, fanny packs, backpacks, camera bags, diaper bags, luggage and/or other items that offer concealment. Visitors may bring a camera and cam-recorder.
