What day of week to visit Pearl Harbor?
Hello,
I will have about 6 days in Honolulu in March. Planning a trip to Pearl Harbor and I see the Arizona tickets are already on sale, so I want to book in advance.
I was thinking of going on a Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. Does it matter? In addition to the Arizona tickets, do I need to buy anything else in advance? How much time should I allot (And when should I book Arizona in relation to other things to see at Pearl Harbor)?
I am staying near Wakikiki so I presume I’d take an Uber there and back.
Thank you!

Joe, you don't mention if you will have any other time on Oahu. If so and planning to go around the island, you could rent the car in Honolulu after your Waikiki visit and use it for a stop at Pearl Harbor before driving on towards north shore. I'm planning a Pearl Harbor visit in August and yes from my reading this weekend, Mon-Thurs are less crowded days. But also essential is that you reserve your ticket to the boat to the USS Arizona Memorial in advance by going to the national park service website. They offer three kinds of tickets. Reserve as soon as you can before they sell out: Pearl Harbor Historic Sites (USS Arizona), Pearl Harbor National Memorial - Recreation.gov
You could take a guided tour with hotel pick-up in Waikiki but from everything I have read, these take along time and are just primarily transportation to visitors center. There are no guides actually at the memorial because everyone must be quiet and respectful.
