Walk the Deck of the USS Arizona

Highlights

Description

This short but powerful virtual reality experience transports visitors back to December 6, 1941 — the day before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Through 360° visual immersion, you’ll walk the main deck of the USS Arizona as it once stood: gleaming, fully manned, and ready for service. Created with the National Park Service, the *Walk the Deck of the USS Arizona VR Tour* is a historically faithful reconstruction using detailed archival imagery and 3D technology. Inspect the mighty 14-inch guns capable of launching 1,000-pound shells, observe the intricate bridge controls, and take in the sights and sounds of life aboard one of America’s most iconic battleships. nnLocated at the Pearl Harbor Virtual Reality Center, this 15-minute experience is ideal for visitors of all ages who want a vivid and educational encounter with history. It’s an official National Park Service virtual reality presentation—fully guided by technology, but entirely self-paced and easy to use. It’s a rare opportunity to experience what the Arizona looked like before the tragedy of December 7, 1941.
