Important Visitor Notice

USS Arizona Memorial Access Temporarily Suspended

Starting September 3, 2025: Access to the USS Arizona Memorial Will Be Limited.

Due to essential preservation work by the National Park Service and U.S. Navy, advance access to the USS Arizona Memorial will be suspended beginning September 3, 2025. The project is expected to take several weeks, though dates may shift depending on safety conditions and construction progress.

What This Means For Visitors

✅ Pearl Harbor Remains Open

All other historic sites—including the Visitor Center, Battleship Missouri, USS Bowfin, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, and Ford Island tours—remain open and fully operational.

❌ No Advance Tickets to the Arizona Memorial

During this preservation project:

  • All advance reservations for the Arizona Memorial will be suspended.
  • Any previously booked Arizona tickets for dates before September 3 will be honored.

⏳ Same-Day Standby Access May Be Available

The National Park Service may allow same-day standby boat access to the memorial on days when construction allows. These are limited and not guaranteed.

Will You Still See the USS Arizona?

Yes, on most days, you’ll still be able to view the USS Arizona from multiple vantage points at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center. You’ll also watch the official documentary film and see exhibits that bring the story of the USS Arizona and December 7, 1941, to life.

 

When construction allows, you may also:

  • Board the Navy-operated boat for a harbor tour.
  • Possibly land at the memorial if it is safe and open that day.

We’ll do our best to keep you updated and adjust tickets if access becomes available.

How We're Handling Tours

All scheduled tours and self-paced tours will continue to run. If access to the USS Arizona Memorial becomes available the day before your tour, we will include it for booked tours that would normally include tickets to the memorial when possible at no extra cost. No refunds or price changes on any tours will be granted during this brief closure.

 

We'll also continue to offer:

  • Expert transportation and narration
  • Guaranteed access to all other Pearl Harbor sites included in your tour
