Pearl Harbor's USS Arizona Memorial

My husband and I visited The Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor on our honeymoon. There is a
movie about the day it was bombed and the war in general. The movie was pretty violent and 
moving. I was in tears at the end. Not something I feel is appropriate for children under 12. The
memorial itself it beautiful and it good for children of any age, though there can be a long wait so younger children might not enjoy it too much. I do believe that everyone should see the memorial and learn about this piece of history. It is vital that we keep history alive and pass on the stories to our children. If your Grandparents were alive during the early 40's take the time to ask them what they remember about Pearl harbor and WWII. I love hearing my Grandparents talk about what life was like when they were young.

Hawaii Children's Discovery Center

We have taken our kids here twice so far and it is a struggle to get them to leave! There are so many things for kids to do here that are educational as well as fun. We love it!
