Amazing VR experience! - This was my favorite part of the Pearl Harbor National Park experience. The 360 degree VR was so cool. I hope they make a Battle of Midway VR experience soon.

Enjoyed this experience - We were so disappointed that we were unable to visit the Arizona because of dock problems. Found the virtual reality programs while wondering around. Tried the software that showed the attack. It was a different experience as we are an older couple (80ish) but thoroughly enjoyed the brief program.

Ok addition to the Pearl Harbor tour. - System went down. No one really explained the variety of experiences. It seemed that there were several different VR experiences available. It was interesting but they should wash the head gear straps. They were really dirty. The people working there seemed overwhelmed.

Less than what I expected - I was under the impression that it would be virtual reality with realistic images, two of the three settings were very "cartoonish" and not very different from what we could see in the museum. The VR for the USS AZ memorial was good, especially as visitors aren't able to see the memorial in real life currently. But it was only 5$, so I guess we got what we paid for, and I'm happy to support the museum and memorial with my "donation".

So-So - Didn't care for this activity. Got dizzy after awhile and had to quit. I was so looking forward to something more high-tech but alas, this was not it. I guess it might be more amusing for kids? Good thing, it didn't cost a lot.
