Pearl Harbor Tour - Pacific Aviation Museum

Your experience begins in Hanger 37, a 42,000 square foot former seaplane hangar that survived the December 7, 1941 attack. Transportation to Ford Island is via a shuttle bus which will make a brief stop at the USS Battleship Missouri.

After arrival in the Pacific Aviation Museum's lobby, you will enter a 200-seat theater where you will view a 10-minute movie covering the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Leaving the theater, you will enter a corridor that sets the stage with sound effects and photos of what life was like on December 7th, 1941. Hangar 37 features full diorama exhibits, period and reproduction aircrafts, and a movie presentation. The museum also spotlights the extraordinary achievements of air crews, aviation engineers, aircraft assembly line workers and ground crews as well.
