The Visitor Center is the first stop for visitors planning to tour the Memorial. Located within the Center are: two theaters, a museum, a bookstore, restrooms, limited snack bar, public telephones, and exhibits outlining the Pearl Harbor attack.
When guests enter the Visitor Center, they are asked to line up for a numbered ticket, which provides free admission to the Memorial tour. While waiting for the program to begin, many visitors tour the Visitor Center and its shoreline exhibits including the museum and Remembrance Circle. When the number that appears on their ticket is called, visitors are asked to assemble at the theater entrance in preparation for the tour to begin. The guided tour* of the USS Arizona Memorial includes a 23-minute documentary film depicting the attack on Pearl Harbor, a short boat trip and a self-guided exploration of the Memorial.
For visitors interested in a narrated tour an audio headset is available for rent at the visitor center front lobby. Join Pearl Harbor Survivors as they remember December 7, 1941 in this one hour audio tour that is narrated by Academy Award winning actor and US Navy WWII veteran Ernest Borgnine. The audio tour takes visitors to 24 destinations and is available in seven languages: English, French, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, German and Spanish. For more information, click Things to Do above.

On our Hawaiian cruise we were suppose to have had Hawaiian dancers come on board in Lahania for an evening show -- but the seas were so rough that it was cancelled as well as our Luau that night.

Thanks, I think I will try and book this one before we leave on our cruise. Thanks everybody, we have already visited the Ariizona Memorial Centre on a previous trip - well worth visiting.
