This was one of my bucket list items.
My wife & I visited this summer...first ones in the parking lot...arrived real early at the site...woke up the sleeping guard!
Toured and loved it all...do the plane exhibit also...really well done.
Only thing we didn’t do (just ran out of time) was the USS Bowfin.
Yes, there is still oil seeping up at the Arizona memorial...have pics to prove it.
