USS Arizona Memorial

Pearl Harbor National Memorial Tours

Effective July 9, the National Park Service will temporarily suspend 56-day advance reservations for USS Arizona Memorial tours due to ongoing preservation work on the USS Arizona.  The Main Visitor Center, museum galleries, memorial film, and memorial grounds will remain open, as well as other tours on Recreation.gov.

Visitors arriving after Sept. 3 may still be able to tour the Arizona Memorial, but access will be on a first come, first served basis, or through the normal reservation process where reservations are released the day before.

The 45-minute USS Arizona Memorial program begins at the Pearl Harbor Memorial Theater. It includes a brief introduction, a Navy-operated shuttle boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial, and time to experience the memorial itself.    

Please have a printed or digital copy of your reservation ticket available to be scanned at check-in.  Tickets are non-transferable and not for resale.

• What to Wear

  Visitors are reminded that they are visiting a site of tremendous loss of life in service to our country. The USS Arizona Memorial marks a final resting place for hundreds and a space for remembrance and reflection by millions more. Considering this, we recommend visitors recognize appropriate dress and personal standards. Military visitors to the memorial are within the bounds of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and military regulations relating to military dress are enforced by Navy personnel. Per COMNAVREG Hawaii Instruction 1020.2N, military visitors in uniform are required to dress in Class B or better in order to gain access to the USS Arizona Memorial. Battle dress uniform is not allowed on the memorial, though it is allowed throughout the visitor center and at sites on Ford Island. Military visitors are welcome to wear civilian attire when visiting.
