Pearl Harbor: A Beautiful Tragic Tribute

by quasar quasar is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Jul 31 '01
Pros: beautiful scenery, historic, powerful tribute to those who died
Cons: makes you think about death
The year was 1994. I had recently moved to New Mexico and was living a block or so caddy-corner from my best friend. A nice strip mall sprawled across the block we both bordered with a Little Caesar's inside. Normally, we would order takeout then go pick...

Pearl Harbor: Long lines, big crowds, but it's more than worth it

by pilarzmom pilarzmom is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Hotels & Travel, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 23 '06
Pros: Arizona Memorial is very moving tribute; lots to see at Bowfin and Missouri.
Cons: Crowds, wait.
A visit to Oahu is not complete without a visit to Pearl Harbor. And like hoards of other visitors who make the trek to here, so did we, on our recent Spring Break trip to Hawaii. Despite the crowds, the heat, and the inevitable long wait, our day in the ...

Pearl Harbor: The Sorrow of a Nation

by diverpam Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, May 21 '01
Pros: It's like walking into the history books. Incredibly moving experience.
Cons: Very crowded, some people were disrespectful in their behavior
I approached Pearl Harbor with a deep respect, knowing so many people died there in the infamous December 7 attack. Most people were somber as they approached, feeling the gravity of what had happened at Pearl Harbor so many years before.

Pros: Seeing exactly where history took place
Cons: Popularity of the attraction makes for long lines
This is truly a sacred place that will give you goose bumps. I've visited Civil War and Revolutionary War battlefields all over the United States and I've never felt anything like what I experienced at the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. I experienced rage...

Pearl Harbor, Hawaii - a solemn look back

by hikini Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 28 '00
Pros: The reminder of those who fought and died for our freedom
Cons: That it even happened at all
I have been to Pearl Harbor 4 times now and each time it is a sobering reminder of our nations past. The first time I visited there it was all new of course, but each time I have been there I've learned something new as well as having a fresh renewal of...

Pros: A moving and educational experience - a MUST see for Oahu, free
Cons: crowded
My husband and I visited Pearl Harbor on our honeymoon, during our stay in Oahu. I am so glad that we did. This was truly a moving tribute to those who lost their lives during the horrible attack. I noticed that most of the reviews are from some time...

USS Bowfin; another incredible Pearl Harbor sight

by joli Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 04 '00
Pros: fascinating, unique, part of history, get to tour the sub
Cons: none at all
The Arizona Memorial and 'Mighty Mo' are not all there is too see at Pearl Harbor. There is also an amazing decommissioned submarine with an impressive World War II history for full exploration at a low price. The submarine is directly behind the...

Blue, that is the first thing that struck me about Pearl Harbor, its waters and covering sky are incredibly blue. And serene; the waters of the harbor gently roll up upon the shores touching it like a sweet caress, and the wind cool and inviting is but...

The Single Best Attraction In Oahu, Can Be An Emotional Experience Too

by dareynolds , May 01 '04
Pros: Very moving experience. Very Informative and a must see in Oahu.
Cons: Lines can be long, but that's the only one.
On my recent trip to Waikiki Beach in Oahu I really had no intentions of doing anything that didn't involve surf, sand or cocktails by the pool. However I was less than happy with my first experience in Oahu (that's another review in itself) and we ...

Somber and Learning Experience

by posingcarrot , Mar 13 '08
Pros: A wonderful experience that everyone should have at least once in their life.
Cons: A little crowded but so worth it.
In 2005 my husband and I decided to take a trip for our 2nd wedding anniversary. I knew that I wanted to go to Hawaii, but had no clue which island I would like to visit. After doing extensive research on all of them Oahu was the chosen one. One ...

Through the eyes of someone who lived there

by gsdlady , Oct 14 '01
Pros: Wonderful tribute to those who died for our country
Cons: Somber and grim reminder of that tragic day.
I have visited Pearl Harbor many times. Being from a military family ( My husband is in the Army and I was also at the time) it seemed wonderful to be able to live so close to the memorial. We lived across the street from Pearl Harbor, at Hickam Air...

One Site That Every American Should Visit

by baricat , Jan 09 '00
Pros: Free, easily accessible, stirring experience that every American should experience at least once
Cons: None
Having just read dbhoutx's excellent review of Pearl Harbor, I have to agree. We found the mood at the memorial to be respectfully solemn, but somehow uplifting.

Admission is free. The best time to arrive for minimum crowds is first thing in...

Remember the Arizona

by Pookie5395 , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Wonderful tribute to the men who died at Pearl Harbor
Cons: May be over young children's heads
I wrote an essay about my experience at the Arizona Memorial, and I picked out parts, and revised things to describe what is at the Memorial, and what some may feel being at a place like this:

Driving windward bound (east) on Kamehameha...
