This includes backpacks, camera bags, purses, luggage, and fanny packs must all be left at the baggage storage at the entrance to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. For diaper needs, we suggest parents and caregivers include these baby items in a clear sealable under the stroller seat for clear visibility and access.

Pearl Harbor is an accessible site, there are no hills, and the paths are mostly flat. Wheelchairs are not available for rent at the park. There are benches placed around the visitor center and there are wheelchair locks on the US Navy boats to and from the memorial that sport visitors back and forth to the Memorial.

 

Motorized mobility devices are welcome at the Visitor Center, on US Navy vessels, and on the USS Arizona Memorial.

 

Strollers are welcome on site but can only go so far as the USS Arizona Memorial pre-boarding area at the Park Theater. Strollers are not permitted on US Navy vessels or the USS Arizona Memorial, please bring a baby carrier as an alternate option in these areas.

Due to the Pearl Harbor National Memorial's no-bag policy, only bring snacks and water bottles that you can carry. There is a small snack shop on site that carries various sundry snacks and cold beverages as well as restaurants throughout the area. There are water fountains located throughout the park to use or refill water bottles.

We recommend that all visitors consider this site is for remembrance and reflection of the loss of life in service to the United States, therefore please plan for appropriate dress. Battle dress uniform is not allowed on the memorial, though it is allowed throughout the visitor center and at sites on Ford Island.

Come prepared with comfortable shoes as you will be on your feet throughout your visit, including a hat, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen are recommended.

Pearl Harbor: A Journey Through History

Visit the Pearl Harbor National Memorial and historic sites to learn about “the day that lives in infamy” and to honor the more than 2,300 service members and civilians who died during the attack.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 was one of the most significant events of World War II and prompted the U.S. to enter the war.

The Visitor Center provides an introduction to the December 7th events and their lasting impact. The center includes two main exhibits, a bookstore and a theater featuring a documentary you’ll view before boarding the ferry to the USS Arizona Memorial.

The memorial is built on top of the sunken USS Arizona, which was hit and sank soon after the attack began. Most of the crew–1,177 in total–died on the ship. The memorial commemorates those who died on the USS Arizona, those who perished in the Pearl Harbor attack and the personnel lost in the Pacific Theatre during the war.

If you are trying to decide what to do during your time on Oahu, there are many Honolulu excursions that you can choose from. However, the Pearl Harbor Memorial is Oahu’s top attraction and provides the unique opportunity to hear inspiring stories of the brave service members and to visit the sites, which is a powerful experience.
