As the place where the Japanese surrendered, this is a historic place. Interesting to go below deck to see how the sailors lived and worked. Depending on how much time you have, and your level of i…Full review by VillagerRick

We enjoyed the group tour with Shiloh who provided an engaging tour and helped us visualize life onboard and during the surrender.Full review by Teresa H

Well worth the visit, takes a bit of time to get around, the guides are amazing talking through the history. Seeing the place where the document that ended WW2 was signed was very humbling.Full review by NinaMcKrazy

Q:
A group of us are doing the captain's tour of the Battleship Missouri Memorial and two of my friends are worried that they won't be able to do it as they are overweight and the tour states tight doorways and steep, narrow steps. Does anyone know if there is a weight requirement to do the captain's tour? Would it be better if they did the self guided tour instead?
A:
Aloha, thank you for booking the Captain's Tour on board the historic USS Missouri. We do not have any weight limitations for the tour, but understanding the physical constraints …
A:
Aloha, thank you for booking the Captain's Tour on board the historic USS Missouri. We do not have any weight limitations for the tour, but understanding the physical constraints involved are important. There are some narrow hatches that guests have to navigate to see parts of the ship. The entry to Gun Turret one is 15" x 30" with a steep narrow ladder. Other doorways are 25.5" x 53" and 24" wide. We hope that helps. Feel free to call us with more questions.

Q:
My dad was on the Missouri when the treaty was signed between the USA and Japan ending WWII in the Pacific. Are there any ways I can look up my dad's name of being on the ship and what his dutoes were at that time?
A:
I would try Fold3 or you can look on the USS Missouri web site. There is a large photo of a group of people when papers were signed for surrender, but it's mainly the big wigs

Q:
Several people have said that they would not recommend touring independently and that you should go through a tour company. If we are not worried about transportation to Pearl Harbor and want to be on our own schedule, is it really that hard to do on our own. (I will already have the USS Arizona tickets.)

I prefer a self guided tour, which allows me the prerogative of going at my own pace; stopping longer here to take pictures, omitting or quickly moving through this part, etc. The problem with going to the Battleship was the bus schedule, which you have to take, since they don't allow personally owned vehicles on the base,(unless you ARE military and have credentials, I believe). We bought the Go Oahu card, which saved us a ton of money, and did all three at the Nat'l Park; the USS Arizona, the Battleship Missouri, and the Bowfin Submarine. In fact, I don't think I saw one tour the whole time we were there. There are volunteers on hand ( former Navy personnel) to give talks and answer questions, and who provide history. Catch the shuttle bus and take the 5 minute ride over from the Arizona.

Greetings - suggest going on-line portal to purchase in advance. Normally people go first to the USS Arizona (again buy tickets in advance to secure given group size). From the USS Arizona parking lot a bus takes you over to Ford Island to access the USS Missouri and the air museum at the center of Ford Island. if you do a web search of "ticket purchase USS Missouri and USS Arizona" you can see advanced ticket purchase portals. Rough time at each location... ~ 2 hours total at the USS Arizona (wait + boat trip in/out), 2 hours at the USS Missouri and 1 hour at the museum Hope this helps...

Q:
Hi, I am trying to figure if we can visit the Battleship and the Bow Fin Submarine. Is it possible to walk between both attractions across a bridge or are there free shuttle busses? We are already paying uber fare to get to the AZ Memorial, so we are hoping we can visit both the Battleship and Submarine without additional cost, other than the tickets. Our trip is in August, thanks.

The USS Bowfin (submarine) is at Pearl Harbor and very cool to walk through! They have a shuttle that you have to take in order to go to the USS Missouri (battleship) and again, very cool to walk though. You can’t drive there on your own. Both have separate fees to get in. We went in March and they are only open certain days, but that may change by August.
