Ideal If You Want To…
Step onto the hallowed ground of Historic Ford Island, where the first bombs fell on December 7, 1941, and explore Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, home to more than 50 aircraft and immersive exhibits that bring America's WWII aviation story to life. Wander through the museum's legendary hangars, still marked by the events of that fateful day, and discover the planes, artifacts, and personal accounts that shaped the course of history. General Admission gives you full access to explore at your own pace. This ticket includes:
Remember, no bags larger than 1.5"x2.25"x5.5" are allowed anywhere at Pearl Harbor. 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 bag under the stroller seat for clear visibility and access.
Here is an example of an approved clear stadium style bag.
If you have a medical issue that may require the use of a medical bag that might offer concealment, you must disclose this to security. Bags can only carry the medically required items. Final say rests with the Park Security Rangers.
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. Military visitors are welcome to wear civilian attire when visiting.
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.
