Love the experience - Great place we enjoyed learning things we didn’t know. Very interesting. The place is very clean and you can go on your own with the headsets in the language you choose.

Poor experience with audio devices- not helpful to the experience! - The audio experience was awful. Most of the time the numbers on the experience did not correspond with audio, and often the audio just would not come on. We complained when we returned the devices, but did not get any remedy.

Sold advanced tickets for a day Pearl Harbor was closed. - You sold me tickets on a day Pearl Harbor was closed. We drove all the way out to find it gated up and weren't able to get there this trip because of it. Sent an email to get refunded and received no answer in return.
