Top of the Tower Tour
Overview
“AIR RAID, ON PEARL HARBOR – THIS IS NO DRILL.”
These were the first words broadcast from Ford Island as the air raid on Pearl Harbor began, marking a moment in time that changed the course of history.
Experience a first-class guided tour, which includes a ride in the originally restored elevator to the upper cab, where guests are met with a 360° view of the battlefield from the observation deck. Docents will lead guests on a journey through the morning of December 7, 1941 and share compelling stories of sacrifice and bravery.
The Top of the Tower Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime experience featuring the Pearl Harbor battlefield from the iconic Ford Island Control Tower. A silent witness to the December 7, 1941 attack, the tower is now open to the public for the first time in decades, memorializing our Greatest Generation and the “date which will live in infamy.”
