USS Arizona Chief’s Tour

Highlights

Description

The *USS Arizona Chief’s Multimedia Narrated Tour* offers an engaging, time-efficient way to explore the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. Designed by the National Park Service, this 30–45 minute experience delivers powerful insight into December 7, 1941. Hosted by actress Jamie Lee Curtis, real Pearl Harbor survivors, and NPS historians, the tour blends audio, photos, and video clips into an immersive journey through 15 stops at the Visitor Center. You’ll hear survivors recount the attack on Pearl Harbor and follow the “Path of Attack” shoreline route to see where key moments unfolded. This multimedia tour also covers both museum galleries — *Road to War* and *Attack* — making it ideal for travelers seeking depth without the longer time commitment. Available in seven languages, it’s a short yet deeply moving way to understand the events that reshaped world history.
