USS Battleship Missouri Memorial

The Battleship Missouri Memorial is the Iowa-class battleship USS Missouri, the site where World War II ended, now a museum preserved by the USS Missouri Memorial Association. She was built during World War II at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The memorial is on an active US Navy base, and the way in is the complimentary shuttle from the Pearl Harbor National Memorial visitor center, where the Missouri's ticket booth is. Park in the visitor center lot, which charges a fee, and note that taxis and ride-shares may not drop off at the ship. Allow time each way for waiting, boarding and the ride. Shuttle riders may be asked at random for a government-issued photo ID, so international visitors should bring passports, and photography is not permitted on the shuttle. General admission includes a guided visit that needs no reservation, or you can explore at your own pace on separate routes through the ship. Wear comfortable walking shoes (sandals are fine), and always face the ladders and keep your hands free when you climb between decks. An elevator runs from the Main Deck to the Surrender Deck, but the lower and upper decks, the flying bridge and most interior compartments are not wheelchair accessible, and complimentary wheelchairs wait at the main entrance. Clear bags are permitted.
