    Visitors consistently praise the well-preserved condition of the ship and the informative guided tours. The knowledgeable staff and volunteers provide insightful commentary, bringing the ship's history to life. Many reviewers appreciate the opportunity to see various parts of the vessel, from the deck where the surrender ceremony took place to the living quarters of the crew.

    The museum's exhibits are generally well-curated, offering a comprehensive look at the ship's role in various conflicts and its place in American naval history. Many visitors find the experience both educational and emotional, particularly when learning about the lives of the sailors who served aboard.

    However, some visitors mention that the self-guided tour can be a bit overwhelming due to the ship's size, and recommend opting for a guided tour for a more structured experience. A few reviewers also note that the tight spaces and numerous stairs might be challenging for those with mobility issues.

    The Pearl Harbor location adds to the overall experience, allowing visitors to combine their USS Missouri visit with other nearby historical sites. While most find the admission price reasonable given the historical significance and extent of the tour, a small number of reviewers felt it was slightly expensive.

    Overall, the USS Missouri receives high marks for its historical importance, well-maintained condition, and educational value, making it a popular attraction for history enthusiasts and casual visitors alike.
