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.
