About Pearl Harbor National Memorial

Pearl Harbor National Memorial commemorates the December 7, 1941 attack that killed over 2,400 Americans. At the visitor center you can walk two exhibit galleries, Road to War and Attack, watch a 23-minute documentary in the theater, and pause at the Remembrance Circle with its bronze map of Oahu. Navy shuttle boats leave from here for the USS Arizona Memorial, and reservations for that program are recommended. The Battleship Missouri and Bowfin submarine are partner sites nearby.
