There is an old WWII observation hut "pillbox" that you can enter and many people climb on top to get views of the ocean.

Schofield Barracks saw considerable damage and casualties during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The barracks suffered collateral damage as it was positioned right beside the Wheeler Airfield. This happened during the first phase of the Pearl Harbor Attack. By destroying much of the US warplanes in Oahu, the Japanese were cleared to launch a virtually efficient air raid on the US Navy in Pearl Harbor.
