In addition to the USS Arizona Memorial, you may want to visit the following Pearl Harbor Historic Sites. Tickets for all three sites can be accessed at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. The Battleship Missouri Memorial and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum are located on nearby Ford Island. There is a bus that regularly tranports visitors to Ford Island (about a ten minute trip), and the cost of the bus ride is included when you purchase tickets for these sites. The USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park is located at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. You can also purchase the Passport to Pearl Harbor, which includes a free USS Arizona Memorial program ticket, the USS Arizona Memorial Narrated Tour, and admission to the USS Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. 
Battleship Missouri MemorialThe Battleship Missouri, also known as "Mighty Mo" or "Big Mo," is a US Navy battleship named in honor of the state of Missouri. The USS Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and was the site of the Japanese surrender on Sept 2, 1945, marking the end of WWII. The Battleship Missouri Memorial offers two daily tours, as well as much more to explore at your own pace!
USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and ParkUSS Bowfin (SS-287) is a fleet attack submarine that fought in the Pacific during WWII and helped to make famous the term, "Silent Service." Bowfin was launched on Dec. 7, 1942, exactly one year to the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was nicknamed the Pearl Harbor Avenger, so it is fitting that she is permanently homeported at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. 
Pearl Harbor Aviation MuseumThe Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum hosts a variety of aviation exhibits, most directly relating to the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec 7, 1941, and to World War II. The museum, located on Ford Island, occupies two hangars and the Ford Island Control Tower that still bear the scars of our nation's aviation battlefield.
