Knowledgeable guides will provide colorful stories about the ship's history and life at sea during a 60-minute guided tour. Walk in General Douglas MacArthur's footsteps and stand where he accepted the Instrument of Surrender that ended World War II; discover the thrilling details of the kamikaze attack on the Missouri; visit the Combat Engagement Center (seen only by Guided Tour guests); and see where 28 Tomahawk missiles were launched during the Gulf War.
Tours are available daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
The Explorer''s Tour gives visitors a very exclusive behind the scenes look into the ship's impressive fire rooms, machinery, main and secondary battery plots and working areas. During this 90-minute tour, visitors explore the Missouri's Post Office and walk through crew berthing areas as they were left in 1992 at the ship's decommissioning. Visitors also see the machine shop, where sailors manufactured nearly any repair piece the ship required at sea. Visitors descend within the armor belt to "Broadway," the longest passageway in the ship that connects all of the Missouri’s fire and engine rooms and is the length of a WWII submarine. Stepping off "Broadway" visitors move into the secondary and main battery plots, which are home to the pre-war vintage computers that controlled the battleship's gigantic 16-inch gun turrets and 5-inch guns. Once inside "Mighty Mo's" battery plot, visitors are immersed in the intricate nerve center of these formidable weapons and get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to squeeze the brass "trigger" that fires the big guns. Visitors also see the crew's galley and the Chief Petty Officer's (CPO) exhibit.
Tours are available daily at 10:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:00 p.m., 1:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. (Special times may also be arranged through reservations)
