Guided by an expert docent, you’ll explore the ship’s decks, crew quarters, and artillery, reliving the moments that defined the end of the war.

- **Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum:**
Experience the thrill of aviation history at the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, housed in two World War II-era hangars that still bear the scars of the 1941 attack.

As you explore the exhibits, you’ll learn about the evolution of aerial warfare and the crucial role that aviation played in the war’s outcome.
