Dubbed "Central Oahu," Pearl City is a residential area and the go-to spot for everyday errands and work. Although it's not a tourist destination like Waikiki, Pearl City is home to the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, date night at the cinema, and meals at Down to Earth.

See & Do
The USS Memorial at Pearl Harbor stands to commemorate the service men who laid down their lives during the bombing of Pearl Harbor, this memorial is a sobering experience for visitors. Prefaced by onshore exhibits and a video remembrance of the attack, tours also include a ride to the sunken battleship in the harbor, where 1177 men still lie entombed in the ship's remains. In the visitors' center, a gift shop and food services are available. Visitors are advised to arrive early in order to be assured of tickets.
Eat
As Hawaii's only all vegetarian natural food store, Down to Earth has three locations around the island of Oahu. In addition to a thorough array of grocery shopping, each Down to Earth has a well thought out salad bar as well as a hot food bar open from early morning to late at night. While the salad bar selections remain the same throughout the day, the hot food bar changes from breakfast foods to dishes fit for lunch and dinner and is one of the best bets for a meal in Pearl City. The food here is always healthy, much of it is organic, and it's a really satisfying meal that you can enjoy inside or outdoors at tables, or take it to go.
Party
The Pearlridge West 16 Consolidated Theaters lies among hundreds of shops, eateries and other services at Pearlridge Shopping Center which spans two locations connected by a rail that brings you between both sides.
